Hmmmmm....

Packers OL shuffle should be a concern

"Through two games, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been sacked a league-high 10 times. And with the Green Bay offensive line going through big changes this week thanks to an injury to left tackle Chad Clifton, the pressure is on a patchwork group to keep Rodgers upright against the Rams on Sunday.

The injury to Clifton -- a high ankle sprain -- forced Green Bay to send left guard Darryn Colledge outside during last week's game with the Bengals. Colledge got taken to school by the Bengals Antwan Odom, who finished the day with a fairly impressive five sacks. ......

....After their Cutler-aided, season-opening win over the Bears, Green Bay got stunned at home by Cincinnati last week. The Pack really needs this one tomorrow at St. Louis.
If they fail there, it will be a long, bleak week leading up to their game at Minnesota where an old dude with an axe to grind awaits."

MM and the offensive coordinate better have been burning the midnight oil figuring this problem out.

My guess is that we need perfect execution on quick slants and curl routes at the beginning of the game in order to open up the playbook for later in the game. If they choose to jam our guys at the line then we need to go five wide to counter. One important key to todays game is NO EASY DROPPED PASSES.

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the easiest person to fool - R. Feynman

Yeah, the problem began when the 'musical chairs' ended on the line.

It's what the fans wanted to hear from MM. Great, now everyone is settled in, our line will continue to gel, right? Wrong. Look what happened when Colledge had to shift to LT. Guess how many snaps he took at LT in practice? Zero.

College
Spitz
Wells
Sitton
Barbre

We have 3 guys starting at new positions on the left and two less than impressive holdovers on the right.

The nice thing is that there isn't much of a drop off from Spitz to Wells. I tihnk Spitz is close to as good as Colledge. Colledge is a better run blocker than Clifton, so I hope to see a steady dose of Grant.

Zero2Cool (14h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (17h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (17h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (19h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (19h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (19h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (19h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (19h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (19h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (19h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (19h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (19h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (19h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (19h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (19h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (20h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (21h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (21h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (21h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

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

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
