This is what you do ..you get an agenda and miss the big picture... Iike the obvious one about the RG position taking a significant decline the last few weeks

Your boy pass blocked well vs the Rams....sucked at everything since.   The run game in the toilet since Jurgens got injured....we know the other 4 guys aren't the problem. 

Yeah we need a better BU for Jurgens,or a better guy than Jurgens

If the guy who touched it 19 times averaged 5 yards a play.... he increases the production from 64 yards to 95.

If the guy who touched it 7 times averaged 5 yards a play....he increases production from 26 yards to 35. 

The first guy is more important.   Really it's not close. 

If Kelce retires then we're looking for 2-3 C/G

Jurgens was ranked top 18 in guard play....he was doing well.  We need him healthy.

When he retires Jurgens goes to center.

RIght,so we will need a BU C a RG and a BU RG

Hopefully we can find a guy who can be BU C and BU RG,so 2 minimum

The kid we drafted should be taking one of those spots...but Opeta and Driscoll both have their contracts expiring...so yeah... we will need some new players.

Yeah but look how bad the run game is when he's not in. We need a better BU

Be nice if we find one guy right now at least in the BU capacity

I mean....it happens to pretty much every team when they lose starters.  Who has a good backup OL?

The roster isn't changing...Jurgens coming back and remaining healthy is the issue...for this year 

IDK I still think we should hit the Vikes with a trade for Mariota. He's better than what they have

Welp we're winning still without the running game,but it's going to be tough sledding the next 5-6 weeks and assuming we hit post season,the teams we face will be better and if Jurgens is out for that we're not going anywhere

I think it's best not to overtook.   Win Sunday.... and get into the bye.  Rest, health and self assessment.  Get the new guys up to speed.  Make the run.

Chance he practices this week

IDK maybe we use Stoll to help block on the right side to help the running game

I meant best not to overthink

IDK at 7-1 I would hate to leave things to "chance". The BU's we have at RG simply aren't cutting it

I'm not understanding....are you suggesting to get a whole new player in at RG this week?   

Just now, joemas6 said:

No just saying IMO Mariota is a trade bait piece for the Vikes. I would be fine with McKee as the #2. Maybe they have G we can trade them for? IDK who they have however,was just a thought

Doesn't have to get in this week,but I think it would be wise to have insurance for Jurgens, We can see who we have isn't cutting it

We're going to have to have a running game if we want to have a shot at another SB and when Jurgens is out,we can see the fall off. Like if Lane goes out we hurt too,so the RG BU needs improved ASAP

I'm not rushing to get a backup G.   What is the quality you are going to get now? And we don't have money to use for a proven guy.  Jurgens needs to get in there..otherwise Opeta will have to play better.   Obviously he can have a good game...consistency is the issue.   

But they gotta tweak some things during the bye....especially with the run game.   A few carries for the #3 RB....some switch in scheme...different timing with the play calls etc.  And the rest will be good.

yeah,just saying maybe we can get a decent RG and a pick or whatever in a Mariota trade with the Vikes. I really don't want to have to count on Opeta,but whatever
