Yeah, it's far more likely that Ted has a list of QBs that are likely to be cut, than it is that he will make a trade.

I think the only thing we can safely say is that Harrell cannot make accurate reads and passes under heavy, fast pressure. That being said, that backup O-line looked absolutely horrendous and was a complete embarrassment. ARod is screwed if we have a couple injuries on the line.

From what I've seen of Harrell, he is not worthy of a NFL contract, so suggestions should be made as what we need to do. BJ Coleman is practice squad material at this point, but at least he has a rifle arm and not a noodle like Harrell.

As for the O-line, I disagree that our backups are inadequate. EDS backs up all the interior lineman positions, Sherrod will be ready by the first game albeit rusty as hell - so that leaves Wells and one more roster spot between Dominguez and Datko. Wells is a drop off, but has a lot of game experience. I believe that Sherrod is more naturally talented at left tackle and will unseat Newhouse down the road. I believe it would be quite foolish for McCarthey to go empty, when Newhouse faces a premiere rusher like Peppers and Allen. Some chip blocking will be necessary.

Wells didn't look any better than Herb Taylor has. I wouldn't consider him any more of a lock than Datko.

Want to know why Harrell is struggling.. look no further than the first pass attempt.. Taylor lost protection within one step.

The next attempt.. complete miss (Harrell had fault there as well) in the blitz. But the center of the pocket collapsed.

I didn't really get to watch much past the first series of the second half.. but that first series spoke volumes.

BTW... Harrell made a nice play on that first attempt spun out of the pressure and delivered an out on the run.. on the money for the completion no less.

I will wait for McGinn to tell me how well Taylor played.. lol.

Sherrod will be on the PUP for the first half the season.

EDS will back up the interior spots.

So by my count.. the Packers start the season with one more lineman.. probably a Wells type.

But the part of the second half I seen.. Harrell was getting no time behind that collection of players playing as a group.

Have I ever stated how little I think of the OL's coaching... it is the same problem year in and out.

But Newhouse played very well.. so I think our starting group is in good shape.. and if we can make due until Sherrod comes back.. depth isn't a huge concern there after.

I don't know that we have that 7 active lineman on the roster right now.

Aside from EDS and Sherrod I just don't see any of the o-lineman backups are fit for the 53.
Wells is nothing more than a poor mans backup and should be gone soon as Sherrod is ready and I'm sure Ted will be combing the cuts for an upgrade or two but this seems to be a tackle starved league.
Datko will be sent to the PS and would probably be safe.
If Harrell had been behind the starters and looked that bad he would definitely be gone.

Harrell sucks. Our QB's run for their life/ step up/ step out, etc. in this system. It's a reality. Cut his ass and get a guy that is used to running for his life. We have been too good for too long to get a really decent left tackle in the draft, so we're stuck with it.

Please Lord, let Aaron Rodgers stay healthy, or my team is totally fucked. I mean this in the most reverent way, so forgive me, lol

Harrell does suck, but he can hold a clipboard just fine. If Rodgers goes down we are fubar anyway, so I'd just as soon go wildcat with Cobb. Best case scenario is to hope the fish cut Gerrard.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
