Acording to PFTalk.com  the Packers tried out Tony Moll... color me curious as hell why they would entertain this thought.

One could take the tea leaves approach and start to wonder about the true severity of the Bulaga injury.

One could try an apply that maybe the Packers have concerns on the inside as far as depth goes.

But it is curious, passed his understanding of the Packers system, why they would consider a washout like Moll. Is there really not a better option on the market?

Hence the peaked interest in the minor news.

I think at my height and weight, I could be more effective at blocking the RT position than Tony Moll, and I'm better looking.

On that list Max Starks (Vikings) and Ray Willis (Patriots) are both former 16 games starters are worked out (for the team I put next to their name). Starks a big boy 6-8/345, has start 68 games for the Steelers over 7 years but I think he's been known to have injuries. Willis has started 26 games over 5 years for the Seahawks.

If it's short term, you don't want to get someone who isn't going to be ready to go because they don't know the system. And being a vet, they don't have to keep him on the roster for any certain length of time, like they would have to if they called up a practice squader.

I don't think this says anything other than that they are one man down on the OL.

If there's a former player available, and the intent is a backup role, you can see the appeal. Moll was pretty damn bad, but if I'm not mistaken he was thrust into the starting lineup in only his second year. He didn't play much, and he didn't play particularly well, but he's managed to hang around the NFL since then. Not exactly the warmest of words or a vote of confidence, but right now the nightmare scenario is if Clifton/Newhouse have any injury troubles. Hopefully Bulaga is healthy/back soon.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

To me the most bothersome part of this is that they must have no cofidence in Sherrod. Although if he is a one position player and turns out to be as good or better than Cliffy at LT, I'm fine with that.

I think they should have left Sherrod at LT and focused on other players at LG.

That brings up McDonald, there was so much talk about him last year. It was disappointing not to see him develop this year. Oh well, guess we can't have everything. Couldn't Evan-Dietrich do a better job than Moll?

That is what I would have wanted to see as well. But they had the shiny new toy (1st round draft pick)that they just had to take out for a spin. They ended up denting the fender. No worries they will get it all straitened out soon enough.

They're making sure Moll still sucks. Maybe they need another blocking TE.

Anyone think it really odd that Nick Collins is still not on IR. Is there something we don't know? I don't buy for one second that Ted doesn't have a guy he likes enough to promote to the 53.
