Oline is terrible. Any other conclusions?· Page 5

Do I think Tausch was our best lineman last year before he got hurt? Yes.

But part of that was because the rest were...well, the rest. Even before the injury I don't think he was having a great year. I thought he was pro bowl level before last year, but I just don't think he was up to those standards even before he was hurt.

Would a healthy tausch of last year be better than the alternatives right now? No question. Would he be enough to make me stop ranting about our OL woes? Unlikely. I'd just be talking about how the rest suck.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

He has had his workouts, said he was looking into one other team, a significant portion of the NFL is in desperate (personally I think we are the MOST desperate, but it's an opinion) need of his services...

Aaron Rodgers leads the NFL with 10 sacks. Brady Quinn the medicine woman is #2 with 9 sacks. So I'd venture to say that yes, we are the most desperate as of week 2.

I can't believe that the Packers haven't even brought anyone in for a workout.
If they truely let Meredith get signed off the practice squad when they are in such dire straits makes this whole mess even more puzzling.

Yep we do have 3 fullbacks on our 53 man roster. We should put 2 of them every play to protect Aaron Rodgers till we can get out O LINE figured out. We did this when Favre was still with us, to protect him we did max protect soo.. back to square one till things get settled and cleared up.

I dissagree with the max protection, everyone knows the playmakers on this team are the WR's.

4 and 5 wr sets, spread out the d, if Aaron Rodgers is only going to have 2-3 seconds to get rid of the ball, then you just keep hitting that short slant that will be open, if it is not throw the ball away and try again next play.

I said before the season started I wantd Aaron Rodgers to be over 5000 yds, if he was this team would be successful.

This goes against every rule in the book, but when 5 and 7 step drops are not going to work, then why keep beating a dead horse?

1 or 3 step drop if the play isn't there, throw it away and go again, can't be any worse than what has transpired so far.

C'mon Mike, show a little inginuity.

Nerd is officially declaring the zBS system to be a FAILure.
It's the weak link on this team and has held us back for years.

It's a weird time to attack the ZBS. The last two games our tackles have been dominated in one-on-one matchups.

Not to mention the fact that during the last game, when Ryan Grant ran into the end zone untouched, they were running the ZBS.

As for those who are saying that Tauscher would be unquestionably better than what we have on the roster, I beg to differ. Like I've been saying for at least a week now, my rationale for not wanting to bring in Tauscher is exactly same as dfosterf provides for wanting Tauscher over Runyan. Look, the Bills signed Meredith to their 53-man roster off our practice squad -- not Tauscher or Runyan. At least Runyan has been worked out by several teams. Has Tauscher even received a call? Has he had a single workout? The fact that the Bills were willing to take a flyer on a practice-squad player over these supposedly elite "proven veterans" should speak volumes.

Then again, the fact that there's no evidence Meredith gave the Packers a chance to match the Bills' offer might indicate he knew he didn't have a prayer of making the 53-man roster in Green Bay, and for the life of me I can't understand why. Cut Bigby, cut Jackson, cut Clifton, cut any of a number of our chronically injured players. Surely there could have been room for such a reasonably priced player somewhere on the roster.

Not sure about Runyan, what he is looking for compensation wise, Meredith didn't make the roster, because he wasn't ready. Who would we kick off the team to sign him, only as a means of keeping him from getting away.

As for Tauscher, who is going to call him? Well he had a late season injury, and wasn't expected to even be able to start practicing for a couple weeks yet. I would give him a chance, if he is healthy and still has it all he can do is make things better. I might also look at him as a consultant or assistant for Oline coaching.

The guy is smart, and has always had great technique which is the reason he has been so low in penalties. Olineman get called for holds when they footwork is bad and they end up out of position. That didn't happen with Tauscher often.

It could be argued that's exactly what was done for Quinn Johnson. He hasn't been active yet, and judging from some of the comments McCarthy has made, they feel no urgency to suit him up any time soon. So this wouldn't be an unprecedented move.
