The resigning got me thinking - can his signing act as a catalyst in a dramatic team improvement?

As much as the next man I admit to thinking of the signing as just a minor upgrade, for all his experience and pack know how he is 32, coming off bad injuries, probably not in game shape (yet, and I use "shape" generously) and will probably not be much of an upgrade, however I think his signing is a masterstroke, especially for the mentality of the players.

I am sure pretty much all of you agree that whilst we are beset with flaws across all areas of our game the glaring ineffeciency is on our O-line - having a sound veteran there I think will do wonders to boost confidence.

Our coming schedule looks (on paper, no Bungal mistake here) relatively easy, with the Browns and Bucs falling between 3 home games (Lions, Vikings and Cowboys), and I think (too much), that a slight improvement on the offensive line could lead to a streak that could lead to greater things.

Of course I could be wrong, foolhardy and over-optimistic.

So, what do yall think? better things from here on in?

I am really starting to agree here ...

was said he was favoring his bad knee. And then something was posted that he wont be even ready to play for a few weeks.

Minimum Tauscher will be able to help Barbre out on his technique. But I fully expect Mark to be back as the starter for the MN game. Mark has never been a poster boy for being in shape. He is a technician. I can see him lasting a couple years yet, because he isn't effected as much by decline of physical tools, because it is technique that he has built his career on.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

PFWT's analysis is mostly in line with mine. Great post. However, I would hope the team be prudent and not thrust him into the lineup against Minnesota unless he is for sure ready to play.

I hope we didn't sign him for being a morale booster. I want another experienced player on our line!!

I agree that we should not rush him on to the field, but we need him. I'm not sure what you guys are talking about a minor upgrade. Barbre to Tauscher looks more of a major uprgade to me regardless of Tauscher's current condition.

not only is it a morale booster but the fact that him coming in stops alot of the o-line shuffling and playing out of position helps alot as well

he has the skills, but putting him in the starting lineup too soon will not only cause him to reinjure himself, it could leave Rodgers unprotected. I don't want to see Rodgers knocked out for the season because the coaches played Tausch before he was ready.

Anytime we have a morale boost, it should help performance... We need one after the shellacking the Packer Oline took 2 mondays ago.

As to shuffling, I think the shuffling will stop once Clifton comes back not so much as Tauscher.
