More of nothing. Why not bring some guys in with a track record of something?

lol sorry I have to do this ...

Because there's so many NFL caliber Tackles with experience out there for us? :P

What about a few of the guys we just worked out?

You can't really sign a "guy with a track record of something" to your practice squad.

"Rios39" wrote:

I think we should be more interested in signing someone to our actual roster. Not the practice squad. This stuff should have been taking care of months ago.

"Zero2Cool" wrote:

So why even worry about who gets signed to the practice squad?

"Rios39" wrote:

Well I'm not. But we need help at RT and with Line depth in general. It needs to be addressed like yesterday.

Ted Thompson should work a trade for Joe Thomas!

Randy Moss. 8 bazillion pages on the various forums...meh..Didn't participate.

Tony Gonzales. Pretty much the same, nice to have, but...meh.

Joe Thomas. Now if THAT got on the horizon to the degree of being worthy of discussion, count me IN!

Packers General Manager Ted Thompson talked with Tauscher during the summer about his rehabilitation and didnt rule out re-signing him. But despite the Packers recent problems on the offensive line, there has been no indication the Packers are interested in Tauscher.

Thompson also didn't rule out signing Vick. People point to Thompson's talking to Tauscher as evidence he's interested in signing him, but as history has shown, Thompson's discussions with any one player mean nothing whatsoever.

Why not just try him at RT? Makes the most sense. I feel that Barbre can't play at this level and appears to be our biggest place in need of replacement ASAP.

"Rios39" wrote:

I couldn't disagree more. I think Barbre has shown an ability to get better and has played much improved since week one. Our left side is what's hurting. Our best running attack is off the right side, so Barbre is doing something right there. We can run to the left, but gerneally in the A gap inly, or B gap with a FB lead. So i don't believe Barbre is the need of biggest replacement. The left tackle we are boned right now. We need Colledge back at guard and get that LT slotted somehow.

+1^nth power for Tezzy. I have pointed out over and over, ad nauseum that virtually without exception, all out best runs come to the outside right. That indicates that the much-maligned Barbre is doing something right! Maybe the coaching staff should spend more time scheming to take advantage of the strengths this team has instead of bitching about their weaknesses.

And yes, I WILL keep beating this horse until it's nothing but a bloddy pulp. :horse:

Didn't Barbre give up 2 sacks last game though? He was good for most of the game. And you can argue the 2nd sack was a coverage sack but still. The physical tools aren't a problem with this guy, but I want to see him get the job done on the field.

But he is getting the job done on the field. Mike McCarthy just isn't exploiting his strengths.

Run to the outside right -- gain yards. Run it up the middle -- get stuffed. Simple equation.

That's the part of your argument I don't get. The left side is by far the weaker side of the line since it gives up justt as much, if not more pressure onto Rodgers, as well as can't run block as effectively.

Not so much when Clifton is there and the positions are normal. IMO the pressure came on Barbres side, especially in the Bears game. Plus Barbre gave up 2 sacks. That will need to be sured up.

It's great that he's a good run blocker. But he's going to have to cut the sacks WAY down to be a starter in this league.

If you're always running to the right, then the defenses will start to shift across. I'm glad we're seeing success in the outside run. We just have to balance out the amount of outside runs (both left and right) with runs up the middle.

packerfanoutwest (3h) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break
