We need to get back to the big guys like we had before. I remember just a few years ago when you would hear announcers say the Packers don't worry about the running game until the weather gets back and thats when the big guys up front would dominate. I think the ZBS belongs to teams in domes and nice weather not on the frozen tundra. Put the beef there and get one on one and dominate. If you remember Green wasn't much of a flashy runner he was more straight ahead and go.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Rob Demovsky, of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, reports Green Bay Packers OL Duke Preston will be used at center and guard but not at tackle.

Maybe put in Pickett. Or it's yet another one of Finley's well hidden talents.

As the roster stands now?

Clifton is probably going to still start on the left-side, and I'd imagine Colledge will back him up again. With Clifton's bum wheels though, I could definitely see Colledge splitting more snaps between Guard and LT this year to help take some pressure off Clifton.

Spitz and Wells will probably duke it out for the starting center job and Preston will "compete" for one of the guard positions, but I'd imagine he will ultimately end up being a backup/rotational player for one of the guard positions behind Sitton and Colledge.

Right side, if Tauscher doesn't come back, it's probably Giacomini's job to lose, but I'm sure Moll will compete for the job. Not that either is a very good option at this point. OT, considering how deep this draft is at the position, will probably be addressed with at least one of our 4 picks in the first 3 rounds of this draft.

How much do you think Rivera, Flanagan, and Wahle weighed?

Probably most of you on here would be shocked. According to pro-football-reference, 310, 297, and 307, respectively.

Tony Mandarich weigth 311 at 6-5.

I really think it doesn't matter that much if you know how to use these guys well. It's more about skill than just being a fat man and pushing people away. I guess it's more of a preference than anything else.

Honestly, weight has a factor, but learning to play with leverage and balance is even more important.

    dfosterf (19h) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (20h) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (20h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (20h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (20h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (20h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (20h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (20h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (20h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (20h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (21h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (21h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (21h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (21h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (23h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (23h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

    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
