Who would do better with this type of talent?
I don't like him either and wouldn't mind seeing him gone, but it's one and one matchups and GB is losing every time. That's not on the coaching, that's on the player. The players are losing the battles. There is only so much the coaches can do.

I have to disagree, I think the talent is workable.
Heck, the Colts OL guru (Tom Mudd, I think) made due with a make-shift LT the past couple of years after their pick Tony Ugoh did not pan out.
I have to think there are more instances with greater coaches doing a heck of a lot more with much less talent. Granted we don't have 1st rounders, but we've spent reasonably high draft picks - in his time Ted Thompson has picked more OL than players at any other position.
I think if Cliffy gets back, that's a big step in the right direction. Sign a veteran OT that can fill in, release the rookie G/C Smith.
And pray like no tomorrow the line comes together like it did in the 2007 season. Only this time it has to come together a lot further.
