im cautiously optimistic about the OL here, still dont think we have really improved that much...but do have the depth that we didnt have last year. Hoping Bulaga will challenge for a starting spot but atleast be ready to step in if cliffy or taushy go down injured.

Mike McCarthy.'s Comments...

We're a better football team in 2010 today than we have been in the past but that's just on paper.

I like the way we look on paper.

I may be wrong... Trust me, I often am.

BUT I SWEAR.... THat is THE EXACT SAME (Word For Word) statement he made after last years draft.

So do we have a depth chart yet for the OL? If so, what is it?

If not, anyone want to take a guess?

Here's mine:
Cliffy - Spitz - Wells - Sitton - Tausch
Buluga - Colledge - Spitz - ? - Lang

I wonder who will take that last spot. Dietrich-Smith or Newhouse. I asume that we won't go with 10 O-linemen on the roster.

Clifton - Bulaga
Spitz - Newhouse
Wells - Dietrich Smith
Sitton - Newhouse
Tauscher - Lang

I really wanted to see Lang in the starting lineup this year and I though the place for him was going to be LG. I hope it is a real competition for left and right tackle. I understand you don't pay guys that kind of money to sit on the bench, but I want the best players on the field. I have no problem giving thank you contacts to old veterans who bled green and gold on the field.

Colledge, Babre, and Giacommini have had enough time to become players and haven't gotten it done. I used to be a Colledge, but his matador whiff that cost us the playoff was the final nail for me.

I see Colledge as a backup to both G positions assuming Spitz beats him out for the starting LG job.

Clifton, Tauscher, Wells, Sitton, Bulaga, Spitz, and Lang are probably all good bets to make the final roster based on past performance, draft position, and starting experience. That probably leaves Colledge, Newhouse, Dietrich-Smith, Barbre, and Giacomini battling for two and maybe three more offensive line spots on the final 53-man roster.

Assuming that this is not just McCarthy doing his usual management non-speak, here's my prediction:

Either Newhouse proves to be the steal of the draft and the LG equivalent of Sitton, or LG proves to be a sieve and Bulaga (sans reps at G) gets shifted over midseason. Oh yes, and if the "sieve" scenario develops, Rodgers will be knocked out of a game before midseason.

IMO only putting Bulaga at LT reps is asking for trouble. I'm sorry, but if McCarthy and Thompson go into this season thinking that Colledge/Spitz are the answer for 2010 at LG, they're playing with fire next to the gas pumps.

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.

i'm a little worried about College being able to be a professional after all his whining, to be honest.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Actually, I'm hoping that Dietrich-Smith and Newhouse both beat out Colledge as Colledge rubbed me the wrong way last year. Yeah, I know that we go with 9. So if one of them beat out Colledge, I'd be stoked. Or best possible situation I guess is for both to beat out Colledge and one of them make it to the PS.

wpr (1h) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (22h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
