Looks like there's a huge matchup this issue with Newhouse going up against Jared Allen.   Personally, I think he'll be fine. Newhouse is NOT Darryn Colledge (thank god.) Obviously, they'll be using TEs to help Newhouse, at least until Newhouse shows he can get it done without assistance. But I think he'll get the job done perfectly fine. Allen's on fire this year, and he might get a sack or two, but he's not gonna do too much damage.
If we could run screens effectively, it would help slow Allen down, but I have yet to see that happen. Maybe they'll get Alex Green into the mix. I do see them running more toward Allen with Newhouse in there.
Jared Allen may be able to pad his stats against backups and guards, but Newhouse is a legit tackle in the NFL.

I hope you're right. Allen can be a real terror, especially on that artificial turf. I tend to agree that Newhouse will do fine. It will be important for him not to let the crowd noise bother him.

I'd love to see a few screen passes, but I've learned to stop holding my breath waiting for those. That's become a rare play for the Packers, maybe just because there are other plays that they can do better, and a team can only master so many plays in practice.

From what I can remember...J'Marcus Webb did alright against Allen last Sunday night. I don't know why he did or what the Bears did, but it worked for the most part.

With that being said, I have faith in Newhouse to do alright if a pud like Webb can do what he did. Add in a little chip blocking from our awesome chip blocking tight ends (Williams and Crabtree) and Rodgers will be safe and sound.

Not worried one bit about Bulaga.

I am sure Allen will get a sack or two and there will be much wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth in the chat room, but it wouldn't surprise me if, with Clifton on the bench, the number of false starts drops below average for Packer games at the Metrodome.

Even TEs blocked him man up at Soldier Field. I think that "turf" was an issue for Allen. Expect to see more from him today. With that said, I think Newhouse will play admirably and the damage from Allen will be negligible. Aside from the TEs helping don't forget both Grant and Starks play physical in their chips before leaking into their routes.

Aww, that was your chance to take a shot at Mike McCarthy because he will likely do the opposite of this. You think he'll START OFF giving Newhouse help? Mike McCarthy doesn't do that. He will likely start off giving him NO help and if he starts failing, THEN the help will come. Classic McCarthy slow start coaching!

I'm good with no help unless it's needed. Give players a chance to do their job and handle their responsibility.

I'm actually very excited to see this matchup, Newhouse has a very good opportunity to show that he can be a quality LT in the NFL. Not that I think he hasn't shown the ability to play, but this will be a good test against elite competition.

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

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach
Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

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

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

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

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
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

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
