Look at it this way. The Packers have a seeming glut of eligible receivers on their roster. Last night alone, Rodgers threw to 12 different receivers. Prior to this season, a lot of people were questioning the utility of keeping 5 tight ends. Now we are starting to see the benefits of this tactic. However, if the Packers keep Clifton on the 53 and another offensive lineman goes out with injury, the Packers will probably be forced to cut one of their plethora of receivers in order to clear roster space for a practice squad promotion or a free agent acquisition. Which one of those potential pass catchers do you want to see cut? Every single one of the 5 WRs has multiple catches (unlike previous years, when our #5 WR rarely set foot on the field. Every single one of our RBs has at least one catch. All of our TEs except Andrew Quarless (oddly enough) and Ryan Taylor have at least one catch. And of course, our FB has multiple catches, including 2 TDs, this season.

So who goes?

I just don't understand the whole musical chairs fascination. I understand that the Packers thrive on having interchangeable bodies and having flexibility due to versatility, but offensive line really isn't a position to be messing around with -- not when you have the best QB in the NFL.

I was under the impression that Derek Sherrod was supposed to be lining up at LT with Newhouse lining up at RT in place of Bulaga. Granted, Sherrod is very green and raw, but if LT is his natural position, he might as well grow into it.

Then again, it may be experience, I don't know. Either way, having offensive linemen switch around all the time may be beneficial for their own development as football players, but it doesn't cater to anybody's specialty, nor is it wise when you have a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers.

I did kind of chuckle on the first play after Clifton went down the Packers ran it to the left.

Do they hope teams will somehow game plan as though Collins will be returning, even though the Packers have declared him out for the season?

or he hasn't found someone to fill the spot and doesn't feel like making a move, for the sake of making a move.

I don't think anybody is too surprised that the injury bug happened to Clifton. Fortunately we have St Louis, @Vikings and the bye. We should never assume a win but the mathcups are not too bad. Maybe Clifton will be back for the Chargers. If not, at least the new personnel on the line will have two games of experience and the bye to prepare. The timing could have been worse.
