Get Isidora and Sirles in there with some time at guard in case we do end up needing both of them playing. Get Pat healthy. Good plan until Isidora or Sirles go down. Then we could have a problem.

Right now, one of them going down is less important that Elfien going down for the rest of the season. Isidora and Sirles are around the same tier rank of players at there stages of the career. If Pat is down come playoff time, that spells trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There certainly would be a problem, but then I guess they'd call up Edison off the PS and move Berger back to guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a betting man, Remmers would be moved inside and Hill plays RT. Remmers has plenty experience there and probably would be the best way to go depth wise.

I'd almost consider going after a vet free agent. Someone who should be able to pick up schemes quick, and while they probably wouldn't be the most solid option, I'd have more faith in someone who has been around the league for a while rather than a guy off the practice squad who hasn't had a meaningful snap in the NFL. For OG, someone like Tom Lelito or Louis Vasquez, or for a Center maybe someone like Jeremy Zuttah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh there is no doubt our depth would be thin. I just don't want to have Pat injured in a game like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really hoping we can jump out to a demoralizing early lead, much like we did with the Bengals, and we can get some backups in sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gopherwrestler Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Taking it easy on Newman because he is old. If they hold out Stephen we most likely would see a fair amount of Jaleel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense hasn't been clicking as smoothly the last few weeks so this game is important to tighten things up. I think last week's lack of offense was due to weather more than lack of execution. I mean Thielen and Diggs got open deep, but still weather/field conditions probably played the biggest role in those incompletions. Being at home, even against a better defense I think our offense can produce.I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the Bengals game the defense got 2 turnovers (not including Kendricks touchdown) on their side of the 40 and ended up with a total of 3 points. They punted after having the ball with a 1st and 10 from the 25. The Panthers game had plenty of miscues and the Packers game had so many missed opportunities. I agree that they can produce. But having the ability to produce and actually producing are 2 different things. They went through a stretch where they executed in the redzone almost to perfection, and they have wavered a bit as of late and I think this game is important for them to fix some of those issues. (plus getting the bye would help address the issues as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rivers Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 will you guys be resting starters and if so who? That is the dilemma most playoff teams face, rest or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
