How do you feel about Barclay taking Lang's starting spot at RG? Coach Street says he views him as a starter.

Heard it looked like Lang tweaked something in one of his legs and was held out as a precaution.

Arrrgh.
The much despised injury bug is still alive and well.

Yep. This one doesn't sound too bad. Coach said it was his shoulder. I think he has had some history with that like Sitton and his back.

He wasn't starting "over" him he was starting instead of him. Otherwise Lang would have been playing with the 2s but he wasn't he was doing no contact.

I think our run game would benefit by Barclay instead of Lang. I'm unsure how Barclay would be in pass protection from the inside...he wasn't very good outside at T.

I've never been very high on TJ Lang...an okay guard at best. There's a reason we get mauled by Detroit up front.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I'm definitely higher on Lang than you. I agree on your with respect to possibly improvement in the run game. Barclay is has been a proven run blocker so far, but has been up and down in pass pro. Incidentally, last year in Detroit was one of Sitton's worst games as a pro. No one on the line did a very good job, but also Flynn was exposed big time in that game in particular.

Barclay seems like a tough guy... Linsley sounds like he's a tough guy also. I'm not sure Tretter is going to be an improvement up front for us especially vs. Detroit. Linsley and Barclay give us a much better chance, imo.

I'm not anti TJ Lang, I just don't think he's very good...he's a decent NFL guard. Barclay is encouraging as an inside guy.

Zero2Cool (14h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (18h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (18h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (19h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (19h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (19h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (19h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (19h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (19h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (19h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (19h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (19h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (20h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (20h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (20h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (20h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (21h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (21h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (22h) : 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.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
