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.
Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

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.

Zero2Cool (14h) : QB coach Sean Mannion
Zero2Cool (14h) : DL Coach DeMarcus Covington
dfosterf (17h) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport

dfosterf (17h) : So eeri
Mucky Tundra (20h) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?
beast (21h) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.
beast (21h) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.
Mucky Tundra (21h) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired
beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.
Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!
buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.
buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.
packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was
TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL
Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over
beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs
Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington
packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns
packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts
packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,
beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)
beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab
Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?
Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me
Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not
Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!
beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋
Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.
dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.
beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you
