Doesnt this sound very familiar to the Ken Rutggers type thing? Wasnt he the starter but as season went on knew he just wouldnt make it and got replaced and they went on to win the SB?

Or am I not recalling it right?

Hopefully we can give him time to heal so we can still have depth behind Bulaga. I don't want to lose that vetran presence especially with a rookie starter.

Jakest3r, I believe it was a 3 year deal that could be voided to one or two years due to option bonuses (or something like that).

I believe it was based on incentives, as far as starting and playing time. Something like that.
The thing with Reuttgers is that his body was breaking down. I suspect he would have just retired the previous offseason if they weren't so heavily favored to win the Superbowl. There was really just no way he was going to make it though that season.
He also wrote some sort of book too, that he promoted there at the end. Some kind of inspirational shit, iirc.

Even if Clifton starts stinking it up and can't stay healthy and Bulaga becomes the second coming, ZERO knock on Cliffy. He's been a very important part of this team for a long time and I hope that if he DOES get permanently benched, he doesn't feel that his past seasons weren't appreciated.

We NEED to win a super bowl with him on the team. He and Tausch deserve it.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

whoever is better at protecting Rodgers deserves the job. period. i wouldn't be surprised if they tried Clifton again, and if he fails? Bulaga.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Looks like PFT's chiming in.

Yeah, I recall hearing it being referred to as three contracts of one-year seven million dollars a year.

I think both Clifton and Tausher deals are front loaded a lot in that first year. Were both three year deals as well?

Green Bay - Probably the biggest lingering question after the Packers' impressive 34-7 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday is what the Packers will do at left tackle going forward.

Interesting. I thought the biggest lingering question may be the running game.

I don't see Clifton hanging it up mid season. Even if he is injured and can't play a significant amount, I still think he will stay with the team all season. Maybe the coaching staff puts in him on IR in order to free up a roster spot but he doesn't not walk away from the team.

Zero2Cool (5h) : QB coach Sean Mannion

Zero2Cool (5h) : DL Coach DeMarcus Covington

dfosterf (8h) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport

dfosterf (8h) : So eerily quiet here in Alexandria. I live in the flight path of commercial craft coming from the south and west, plus the military craft

dfosterf (8h) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (13h) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (13h) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (16h) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : Chiefs Eagles...again...sigh

dfosterf (27-Jan) : Happy Birthday Dave!

Mucky Tundra (27-Jan) : happy birthday dhazer

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
