I know this sounds somewhat crazy but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Come this off season it seems we'll be looking for a LT and without a CBA there won't be many free agents available.

We have a log jam at RT:

Tauscher may be back for another year.
TJ Lang looks good and projects best at RT or G.
Barbre won the job in pre season.
Giacomini.

The Packers cut our LT project Jamon Meredith in the offseason and kept Giacomini despite the fact he's remained inactive all season.

Is it possible the Packers are waiting till the offseason to give Giacomini a real shot at the vacant spot at LT?

He has the size and is a converted Tight End which suggests he might be athletic enough in space.
He already had the inside track on the RT job in the offseason before his injury handed Barbre the job.

Last year Sitton had won the RG spot in pre seson but got injured. Despite getting healthy the coaches didn't want to throw him into the line mid season. Maybe that's what their doing with Giacomini this year?

I'm about as far from an OT expert as one can get so what do you guys think?

Who knows, I think he's about the only one on our line who has the build for it. Unfortunately I don't think any of the coaching staff is an O-line expert either considering Lang didn't even really get a shot at the RT spot and Barbre somehow won it.

I think it would be wiser to look to the Draft for O-Linemen with our top picks. after the hype Giacomini got in 2008 it all disappeared once he was given his chance to start.

On the issue of the pre season, he seemed to have the early lead at RT but got injured.

The coaches were obsessed about getting continuity on the line and didn't want to mix things up by the time he had recovered and was fully up to speed.

I really don't see the quick-twitch movements in Breno to man the LT position. He seems like an ELITE RT prospect. I think ideally, I'd like to see us get the LT of our future this offseason and play a line of:

New Guy - Lang - Wells/Spitz - Sitton - Breno

I'm more than okay with that in the future. I don't know about Colledge. He's a good one for sure, but hasn't shown it this year. Being that it's a contract year and with how Lang has played and seems best suited at LG, Colledge could be the odd man out.

I don't think New Guy has proper fundamentals and quickness. He needs a year on the bench to get ready.

I've always wondered about Giacomini. His size is amazing but I've never really got to see him play. The Packers obviously see something in him because they keep sticking him on the 53-Man roster despite never playing. It stumps me a little bit.

As for Giacomini moving to LT..... HECK NO!!!

Giacomini main problem is against quickness and speed guys... which is worse on the left side...

As for LT why not Lang? ... no one other than Allen has beat him... heck a lot more people have made Clifton look horrible this year than Lang.

And if you want to split the back-ups up then move Barbre over... Barbre played LT for four years in college and LG move his pro career so he's more used to the Left side and is said to be the most athletic lineman the Packers have and has more problems against power guys which has lead to guys faking power and using quickness to get around. So Barbre could be better on the left side.
