well this could get interesting....Elf out ( so is Stephens)
Elflein is ruled out for Sunday, and with Easton going to IR that makes our starting OL Reiff, Sirles, Berger, Isidora, Remmers, unless they kick Remmers inside to a OG spot and play Hill at RT which could be a possibility.
Why isn't Chuck Foreman in the Hall of Fame?
Stephens is also ruled out which should open the door for JJ to get some reps finally at DT. I love to see rookies get their chance to show what they've got.
The line is going to be: Reiff, Sirles, Berger, Remmers and Hill. Kicking Berger to center and Remmers to OG.

If they need the time off to get healthy give them the time

Which actually makes me believe it even more.@"StickyBun" said: The line is going to be: Reiff, Sirles, Berger, Remmers and Hill.

Personally I HATE the idea of doing this...one starter out and now that cascades into 3 new starters...that being said, on PAPER that would be the best line up...
With that O line... Time to see what our backup QBs can do once we get the lead...
It is more important to have Elflein as healthy as he can be for the playoffs, though definitely a big drop off to lose him for a game. It will be up to the rest of the team to step up and secure a first round bye.
We need to win this game with NO new injuries. I hate when you get ready to go into the playoffs and you cannot field your starters.
We have been able to cover for our bad injuries in the first part of the year, here is hoping the back-ups can keep it going at a high level.
I sure hope we can come out of this game with no injuries..
I don't like it, but then again if we have a guy go down in the play offs, I would rather get people comfortable with their "new spots" now. Man, like his performance or not, Easton going down sucks. Here is hoping we focus a little more on the o-line this off season and but all our minds at a little more ease. You can't plan around injuries, but we took a huge step in the right direction this year.

@"StickyBun" said: The line is going to be: Reiff, Sirles, Berger, Remmers and Hill. Kicking Berger to center and Remmers to OG.I tend to think Mike will favor the next man up idea, and the path of least disruption, by putting Isadora in at RG and keeping Remmers at RT.
But I sorta hope you're right. I want to see how Remmers does at RG.
Get healthy for 3 weeks down the road Elf...We'll need everyone on board by then.
