OL Depth Chart for Sunday?

[zyxt9]

I probably have this wrong but it looks like:

LT: Lucas
LG: Sims
C: Swanson
RG: Warford
RT: Reynolds

Is that right? If so, who are the current backups? Not seeing much info on current Depth Chart and even Injury Reports do not seem 100% accurate (e.g. Reiff and Waddle not listed) so any help correcting this is appreciated. They are very thin on OL. Who is going to backup Swanson?

 

[JScottWriter]

That is one shitty OL.

is Rieff injured or ruled out?

Rodney Austin was promoted from the PS and can play center as well (from what i remember). and Michael Williams was promoted from the PS too.

back up tackles are now:
Lucas (who is starting in place of Waddle)
Reynolds (i thought he was released a log time ago?)
Williams (converted TE who has really progressed per OL coaches and Caldwell)

back up interior:
Austin (can play all 3 positions from what i remember)
?

I was hoping Grandy or LKP would have chimed in with some good news, like Reiff will be playing...something. It's hard to find accurate info on the OL situation right now it seems. Every site I go to has different info. I didn't watch the game vs Bears so I'm not sure who played on the OL. One site just showed Lucas played RT in place of Waddle, but I thought a different site said he played LT during the game.

That's why I was hoping for clarification. With Swanson moving to C, if Waddle and Reiff are both out...things look really desperate on the OL.

I'm actually looking forward to seeing what this oline does without Raiola. Just hoping for no botched snaps.

 

[mhughes0021]

why would they sit reiff for probably the biggest game the lions have played in the last 10 years?

ah, looks like I got crossed up with the report from a report earlier in the year saying Lucas started at LT. my bad I guess, but I swear that came from the DetroitLions.com website...just not sure how it got all crossed up.

ok, so it should be:

LT: Reiff
LG: Sims
C: Swanson
RG: Warford
RT: Lucas

that is a much better looking OL if that is what it actually is. Austin is one backup for Sims, Swanson, and Warford seems pretty thin still, but at least the starting lineup is more solid than initially feared.

I was wondering where you found that Reiff was injured, lol. Scared me for a second.

LT: Ebron
LG: Ebron
C: Ebron
RG: Ebron
RT: Ebron

 

[zyxt9]

LT: Ebron
LG: Ebron
C: Ebron
RG: Ebron
RT: Ebron

Dude, come on, he was only a #10 pick. That's why they announced Swanson would start at center. ;P

 

[kdp1980]

Why I'm not concerned about Swanson at all.

"One advantage for Swanson is that Stafford's experience has allowed him to take over all the line calls, which includes protections."

Just have the defensive line play ironman.

I just hope the defense sees these question marks on offense as a challenge to step up their game even more. I expect an inspired game by Suh, being his last chance to win a game at Lambeau in a Lions uniform.
