Dont know how many snaps Elflein got yesterday?
Or how he's feeling the day after...But it he's good to go, is it time to make some OL switches?
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Yes. Elflein back to center and Jones to LG. I'd also suggest that getting O'Neill in there soon would be advantageous. He's shown that increased playing time leads to incremental improvement for the big rookie. His upside is big.
The best thing the team could do right now is find out who the best 5 linemen are, put them in there and keep them in there. If they're league average, then they're league average, but they're not even going to be that unless we can get some sort of continuity on the line.

We definitely need continuity in the run blocking schemes to build that cohesiveness that only comes with repetition and in game experience. If we don't fix our running game, we are in for a long non-playoff season.
