As the coaches’ video of the Green Bay-Philadelphia game rolled on, Larry McCarren finally took a pause in his breakdown of Corey Linsley. “There’s no mystery to it,” McCarren said in that familiar growl of his. “At the end of the day, the kid’s a damn good player.”

Never knew the bit about the Wonderlic test and Linsley. Having a smart C on the line is nice and I'm looking forward to seeing how much this guy improves next year with an offseason of conditioning and training under his belt.

It was a marvelous idea to draft a center from a major football program and actually have him play center instead of trying to turn him into a guard or tackle.
Well payed.

I figured it would take him 2-3 years to win the starting job. He is way ahead of schedule. Naturally the injury was a factor as well.

Watching Linsley plant defenders into the turf to finish off plays is a joy to watch.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress
