Thursday is going to be rough. Looks like Reiff could be out. I am fine with Hill at LT, but he has been hurt too. We get Elfein back fulltime. Can Jones play LG?

Jones can play guard, could see him play guard and they move Remmeres back to RT

The line is trash, and the Rams D-Line is loaded! I think we're going to see that our D without Griff isn't the same, and against the Rams offense it's going to be ugly. The Bills game was ugly, but I'm guessing the issues with Griff weighed heavily on their minds and was much of the problem. They'll need their A+ game to come home with a win tomorrow!

Rams are missing their top CBS in Talib and Peters so that might help.

What I might do is have Jones prepare to be the backup at all the interior positions since this is Elf's first game back so it would be good to have Jones waiting in the wings. It sounds like there is a chance Reiff can play so that helps. If he doesn't I'd assume Remmers would be the guy to go out to tackle if there was enough injuries in game (to O'Neill or Hill) with Jones filling in. PFF still has Compton as the #6 guard inthe NFL. Lol even if that's not correct I'd say it probably means he hasn't actually sucked which if true is a nice surprise because he was supposed to be the weak link on the line. Honestly Kikda want to see O'neill Play a full game and see how he does. I'm a fan of Hill but him being banged up at LT is more troubling.

7-7

Barr is begging not to get paid. I am not a fan of investing heavily in LB unless they are studs and he is averagish.

Barr has been burned for both TD's. Yikes. Spielman is looking smart not getting his extension done.

The defense just looks lost out there. There's too many guys who have been here multiple years with their arms out before a play looking like they don't know what to do. The back 7 is looking real problematic and that's supposed to be our strength.

You can't put the 2nd one on him. A LB on a speedy WR? Coverage was a mess on that play.

28 points given up in the first half in back to back weeks. This defense is a major read flag right now.
