Which is more likely to happen?

a. My dating Jessica Biel.
b. Ted Thompson trading for Logan Mankins.
c. Neither will ever happen, but its fun to dream. :)

You have a pretty severe man crush on Mankins. I have no doubts he'd make our o-line better, but right now the breakdowns are happening at tackle, for the most part. Sitton is solid. People say Colledge is solid (my perception of him is that he's penalty prone and not a good power blocker -- more of a finesse guy. I could totally be wrong).

Tausch and Cliffy are showing their age. Mankins is a guard, right?

I'd call Sitton more than solid. Pro Bowl caliber player. He's shutting down every big name he faces. I'd like to see how much they'll trust him against Haynesworth. I'm positive that he can handle him. Maybe not make him dissappear like he did with Suh and Tommie Harris (when he still looked solid), but just handle him most of the time.

It was pretty obvious last week. I was beginning to doubt that Suh actually suited up sunday.

Untill the Lions ran a stunt, that was.

Suh hadn't been in the backfield all day long, but the first time he matches up against Colledge on a stunt, Suh takes Rodgers down.

But, getting back to the point, I agree, the problems are mainly at the tackle position right now.

Clifton absolutely dominated Van Den Bosch. It was great to see that he still has something left.

On the other side, Tauscher got dominated by Avril. Not a slob, by any means, but the weakest player on that d-line. And it wasn't one type of rush that was killing Tausch, Avril was running around him and bullrushing right through him.

I agree with most of you in this thread. Ted Thompson will do nothing.

Zombie: does losing Grant really show how good Grant was or how big the gap is between him and our backups? I'll admit that he's good and definitely an important cog in our offense, but that doesn't mean we couldn't have or shouldn't have upgraded this position on our roster.

I just started playing Fantasy and Grant was #8 last year.

How good is he? Well, do we agree that our OL is not that good? Grant still gets 4.4 yards a carry and 1200+ yards/year with our OL. That's pretty good. I'd say he's a top 10 RB, which makes at least 22 other teams jealous.

OK, we both agree that we should have upgraded this position on our roster. We're in agreement here.

Where we'll probably disagree is what we'll give up for it. Now that I know the Hawks only got what they got, I'm bummed. Bummed, but not mad at Ted Thompson. Lynch is a one-year fix and he'll be gone in '11. Plus, let's not forget that Lynch is not exactly "Packer people." He's a trouble maker and is a hair away from getting suspended.

I'm sure Ted Thompson was thinking about this. Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson probably had a talk about it and they also discussed what is a bigger priority - filling our new hole at DB or RB? I'd say it's DB. Mike McCarthy probably thinks the same thing and told Ted Thompson so. Mike McCarthy may see something in Starks where we don't need Lynch.

Or, better yet, we've only begun to see Kuhn. He almost single-handedly stomped on the Lions when they were down on that final drive. Kuhn may be slow, but he's going to get us yards and hurt people doing it.

DB is a bigger problem than RB right now.

I actually didn't want Lynch particularly I just wanted an upgrade over our current players at the position. I also became a late fan of Grant--I made a thread last year bashing him and some of the things I learned and heard made me turn around. I still don't think he's an elite back but he does very well in our offense and gets the results we need which is why we miss him.

Lynch I never really liked and I didn't want him on the Packers. I just wanted his skills lol.

My main concern here isn't about Ted grabbing a high profile player, but that Ted has seemingly done nothing in general. In the past, despite not grabbing the most marketable and high profile players Ted does a great job of picking up players nobody really looks at and having them turn into reliable starters (Grant, Chillar, Pickett). My problem is more with the fact that Ted has done nothing besides signing Nance, and from what I've seen Nance doesn't look like the second coming of Grant (although I could be wrong).

I just hope the plan that Ted does have pans out, otherwise both he and the team will look bad.

My friend, if you did your research (I always wanted to say that to a Professor), you'd find dating Biel is not impossible. She's been known to go on charity dates. Only bummer is cost. The last highly publicized charity date that I'm aware of was with some guy from Minnesota paid $30k to go on a date with her. Proceeds went to some girl who got injured in a car wreck.

She's currently single by the way. She enjoys singing and snowboarding, and supposedly is a pretty dang good snowboarder. Well, that rules me out as I'm awful and I think I got a slight concussion last time I went snowboarding.

So, she's all yours. You'll have to let me know how it went.

DJ - I posted before I saw your reply. Glad you changed your opinion on Grant. No, he's not an elite back but he's still top 10. That's good enough for the offense we run. I actually believe an elite back will hinder our O as he'll want the ball more, which would keep it out of Aaron's hands.

Aaron Rodgers = points

As for Ted Thompson doing nothing, if anything, I want him looking at DBs. That's where we might have a problem.

Rofl, I just got the letter from our administration that we're going to get a payraise this year after all. (almost 2 months into the year, and 6 months after they asked us to sign our contracts). The raise: $70/month That's going to cover a charity date. Yep. :)

2. Snowboarding. Sigh. Exercise and snow. Oh well. No one's perfect. I doubt if I'd be able to stand up on a snowboard, much less move downhill on one.

Guess I'll just have to find something else that she likes to do in company. 🙂

$30K to go on a date and then just never have contact again. Seems like a great way to waste your money. Just give the $29,900 to the kid and use that $100,- to take someone realistic out. Lol.

Well, lets just say I'm not a fan of Colledge/Spitz.

Yes, Tausch and Cliffy are showing their age. But I don't know any good OTs out there right now. And Colledge/Spitz have been a weakness for years. And Mankins might be a possibility. Mankins doesn't solve the T problem. That one, unfortunately is going to wait for next year and or the current roster to develop.

Right now we have one stud that needs no replacement, Sitton. And maybe a second that we can get by with indefinitely (Wells). And potential. I'd love to be able to convert any of those remaining three to "stud" so there are only two. I don't care if they solve the guard problem or a tackle one first. I want them to start solving the problem of an OL with three weak links.

And if that means overpaying for a guard, then yep, I"m okay with that.

$70/month? What kind of crack pipe school do you teach at? Haven't they heard about inflation?

Well, maybe she'll think you're cute falling all over the place. At the least, she'll be laughing. Unfortunately at your expense.

I'll pass though. I learned the hard way that the faster you go on those stupid snowboards, the more it hurts when you fall.

Well, to be fair, that is the improvement "after taxes". :)

Before taxes, it's probably 110 bucks a month more instead of 70.

Besides, we got all these snazzy new admin buildings, renovations, a disc golf course, and a new courtyard in front of the [strike]student union[/strike] building where president has his office.

Frisbee golf? I just figured out how to make you some extra pocket change.

90% of frisbee golf players are stoned while playing. At the end of the course, set up a soda machine and a potato chips machine. Restock both every other day. There's your (real) raise.
