I'm happy with this starting 5. I'm actually very excited about Barbre, this last game his name was mentioned a lot on our good running plays. That's all that I ask for, is our OL names being called out for good blocks, not mental mistakes. Good luck front 5, we've been waiting for a solid lineup for too long now.

The article bodes well for him staying on the roster and part of the 2009 plans for the Packers. Excellent.

"Don't count me out," Wells said. "It's a little blow, but it's not the end. So you have to stay the course and try to maintain a positive attitude and see how everything shakes out in the long run."

When is Wells contract up? He's too competitive to be somewhere he has no chance to start IMO. Might we loose him through free agency? Should we trade him while we can get some value?

I think that he signed a 5-year, $15 million deal in 2006. I hope that we can trade him, although I don't think that we'll get a whole lot more than a 5th, max.

Like you said, I don't know if he'll be happy as a back-up over here, although his contract isn't that bad.

Thanks. At least we don't really have to worry about loosing him through free agency and we will have a very solid back up. So I guess the question becomes, will we have a disgruntled player on the roster.

Basically, I don't give a rat's ass if he's disgruntled, if he needs to play then so be it. He better be ready cause he is making a lot of coin for a substitute.

Secondly, it would be irresponsible to trade him until we draft a center to groom. I can't believe we didn't take one this year with a deep class of centers.

Thirdly we all get caught up in these player's feelings. They are paid professionals, actually they are assets to be moved around at the will of the leaders of the team. I understand the college feeling around the Pack but I won't get caught up in the emotions of any of these guys especially when those greedy agents use them like a sales pitch and unethical, irresponsible journalists just scrape up crap to print.

I think Spitz is that center to Groom, and is what has been happening. Only taken longer because he was needed at guard. But I believe the plan from the beginning with him is to take over at C.

This is some great news for a team not real deep at the tackle position.

Packers: Healthy Clifton feels renewed
By JASON WILDE

But as he looked at the restructured offensive line, Clifton wasnt thinking about being replaced. Instead, he was thinking about playing several more years.

I feel good. Honestly, this is probably the best Ive felt in a few years in camp, Clifton said. I think Ive taken quite a few more reps this year in practice, and so far, so good. The knees are holding up real well, the shoulders feel good, so Im just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping it keeps going like this.

I certainly hope Im back next year, man. Thatll play itself out, I just want to come out and perform well this year and that other stuff will take care of itself down the road. I certainly feel like I have a few more years left.

Martha Careful (19h) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (19h) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
