What if Packers try something like this. They substitute Offensive line players every few snaps to keep their stamina level up? I mean it's something that could be worked on next season. That would be pretty confusing for the opposing team of where to blitz from. Also, I don't agree that Scott Wells was left of the starting roster. Just throwing that out there.

It really wouldn't make a difference for the defense. They wouldn't change what they do, the offensive line has to figure out who they're blocking, and if the o-lineman aren't all on the same page they're likely to make more mistakes.

I thought about that years ago. After all if the DL can do it why not the OL? It just doesn't work. As it was said, they need to know what their teammate is doing on every single play and every single defensive stunt.
In prior years I have read OL players say that it took them 3,4 maybe 6 games to gel as a unit.
The other factor is that the quality is not exactly the same for every OL. You don't want to have a drop off in talent right in the middle of a drive.

If there isn't much of a drop from one player to another I would be for giving a rotation a whirl. I don't see it though right now. I think there is to much drop between 1st and 2nd.

Do we really want Moll switching with Clifton. Spitz is #2 at RG, That would mean rotating a #3 in at times.

I think most ex-lineman will agree that the O-line has to be the most cohesive unit on the field for success. Rotations do nothing but deter from that goal, and I believe it. I'm happy we are going for the bigger line, we're trying to run between the tackles and the little guys just weren't cutting it. Ok, little guys may be relative, but that's what the coaching staff goal has been and I'm glad we are going for it.

No I think switching linemen could hurt the o-line more then help them. They need to gel up together.

I don't know about subbing them in and out. I did notice Clifton was almost the weak link last night (the drive that fizzled deep in Cardinals territory in the 1st quarter and resulted in a field goal comes to mind). This may be Chad's last year with us, which is sad indeed. He's been a rock over there. I hope Meredith is able to develop nicely.
