He's got question marks surrounding him, sure. I like this signing. I like his size, versatility and apparent athleticism. I bet we wind up being very happy with this acquisition.

Imagine, it's 3rd and two, we have been driving the ball but now we near the goal line...wow, what if he is able to help create a hole to run through, instead of one of those friggin' mystical...almost ethereal... "seams" that our ZBS wackos speak of our running backs "one-cutting" into.

Maybe this fat guy will move their fat guy instead. How innovative!

All things being equal, bigger is better...I have even heard my wife say that, and she doesn't even follow football that much. :thumbleft:

I was just thinking (I do that once in awhile) With this signing could it mean we won't try to sign Tauscher back? You know how Ted Thompson seems to work, someone wants big money thats been in the league awhile and he will go with the younger and cheaper player.

It was just a thought.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be šŸ™‚ (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I don't think that he would be someone who could take over a starting position at this point, especially at tackle. Or any of our guys who are currently on our O-line, for that matter.

I think the re-signing of Tauscher might have something to do with the draft outcome, since he doens't seem to be very popular on the FA market. If Andre Smith falls to us, I think he might start at RT next season and Tauscher won't be back for us. If we can't find a capable starter at T, I think Tauscher might be back for a small amount of money.

FYI Tauch is in talks, but he wants long term Packers dont want to do that

not to mention he isnt slated to return until OCTOBER

So yeah lets pay a player a HUGE amount when said player isnt even going to play until 4 games in...

Good signing. A big, versatile interior guy to back up, or compete with, Wells and Spitz, with the best two filling the center and right guard spots. It also opens things up for Sitton at RT...which is where he played in college, if my memory serves me well.

I'm not saying that this is where he is going to play, but I did notice that even in the midst of many detractors, he was being praised for his play as a center. I recall one poster saying that (as a center) he was the only guy holding up his end of the bargain on their line. FWIW.

The optimistic side of me is excited about this signing. The pessimistic side wonders why he didn't receive more interest on the market.

I really hope this is one more step towards big physical linemen, and one away from the ZBS. I think with Grant's full steam ahead style, and a line of monsters ahead of him things can only get better.

This is a +1 post. I especially like the part where you noted Ryan Grant's "full steam ahead style". That is what I see also. I have many plays that replay in half my brain ( :thumbleft: ) where Grant absolutely slammed into the line rolling absolutely full tilt, yet got nothing, because there was nowhere to get it. This is another one of those things that doesn't show up on that stat sheet that many posters on a discussion board seem to become enamored with, especially when going about the business of critiquing skill-position players, which is also the major past-time of many, when imo the discussion should be focused on the more -difficult to discern the problems and cure for- trenches.
