Any interest????

Damion McIntosh (32)
The guy was cut in KC due to his contract. He been a starter most of his career.

John Runyan (35)

This guy is tough as nail and can still play at a high level.

Jason Fabini (35)

Kwame Harris (31)

Jonas Jennings (31)

Charles Spencer (27)


I'm all for giving Barbre one more chance, but if he fails, Giacomini is not the answer at this point. Tausher won't be ready for a while.

I know you guys will think this is an over reaction thread, but where would our season be if, God forbid, Aaron Rodgers went down. That's not something I would be willing to risk if I was Ted Thompson or MM. If this season is a flop the Pack might have to take a real hard look at our GM and coach. One winning season in five years might not cut it.......

Agree???

At least you are giving Barbre a chance, so the thread isn't in complete hysteria 🙂 I was really high on Barbre during the preseason. Thought his running blocking is much improved. I don't believe we'll see an immediate change at the position. I think MM and Philbin will stick to their guns of actually having a static Oline, at least for now.
As for the immediate future, Barbre (if still starting) will be lined up against Robert Geathers . This is a step down from Ogunleye  this last weekend. So I expect to see improvement in his pass coverage. I also look to MM and Philbin to provide more help earlier if it is a problem again.
Here's to hoping Barbre bounces back and has a good game. And talking about a flop of a season already? Come on, lets get through some games first before we talk about hot seats of our GM and coach.

While the play of Allen Barbre had most of us hoping for Ted to call Mark Tauscher, it looks like he may have actually been on the phone with former Eagles lineman Jon Runyan, according to an ESPN.com insider article. I guess I wouldn't mind this, even though Runyan has had his injury problems. Still, I think Barbre stepped up in the second half on Sunday night, and deserves another shot before we call in for a reliever.

Ummm isn't Runyan in the same boat as Tausher? .... and Tausher already knows everyone and all the plays..... and I'm not sure if it's true but someone said the Eagles new starting RT just went to the I.R. ... if true wouldn't the Eagles want Runyan back if he's healthy? and since he know all the plays. (if that was true.)


I saw stink with Barbre but maybe try Lang over there and see how he does...

Nothing would make me happier than to see Barbre bounce back. Cohesiveness on the oline is so important. Remember the Clifton, Wahle, Flanagan, Rivera, Tauscher line up? One of the best lines we ever had in title town.

I truly believe in baptism by fire. But after last week, Barbre should be in the intensive burn unit waiting on skin grafts. I think he could be a great player. He's an athletic freak with a ton of potential... I just think he might need another year of polish before stepping into the starting line up. The TC battle btw him and Giacomini seemed like a "who will hurt us less" type battle.

I was just mentioning it as another reason Ted Thompson might want to consider looking at veteran options. He's built a great team, but a couple missed blocks could lead to a long season. I know Ted Thompson usually sticks to his guns, but he has traded up in the draft in two consecutive seasons. He knows this team is really close to being a serious contender, and I wonder if he's willing to risk it all with Barbre if he continues to struggle.

In the NFL nowadays, every GM and coach are constantly being evaluated. Look at Shanahan, Gruden, and Mangini getting the boot last year after having better records than the Pack (I think).

I'm hoping there is more to the Runyan rumors. He's a tough SOB and would be a good stop gap for a year at RT. Hopefully Barbre picks up his play so all of this will be moot in a month. (like Nick Collins last season!)

I like Kwame Harris, he will be an upgrade on the OL, his scouting report say this:

http://profootball.scout.com/2/78244.html 

Big, athletic tackle still learning the position. Fluid, agile and displays excellent blocking range. Can shuffle and slide in pass protection, effective in space or out to the second level. Stays square, keeps defenders in front of him and fights with his hands. Anchors at the point in pass protection or gets movement form his run blocks. Breaks down well, bends his knees and generally blocks with leverage.



We only need for him to be our RT, he will do just fine and cheap
BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I don't think we should be considering an upgrade until after the Vikings game on October 5th, considering the vikings front line is a good beacon that can unravel how talented(or crappy) Babre is.

I want to give Barbre a shot at RT, but adding a veteran to the roster wouldn't hurt. We have such a young O-line and so little depth on the roster, that we would have to go with Giacomini if Barbre isn't playing well. If a tackle goes down, Colledge or Lang would have to be the back-up tackle.

This situation just isn't too comfortable atm. We should add one veteran player for depth. Mark Tauscher (I know, I know), Kwame Harris, Levi Jones...
