IMHO, the real weak link in the offensive line area is offensive line coach James Campen.I just don't see much success unless he is replaced by a top notch coach.I doubt he will be replaced though as McCarthy seems perfectly content with mediocrity along the offensive line.Poor run blocking and Rodgers going down 51 times would lead me to cut the cord.

That's not perfect and it can certainly be improved upon, but it's not bad.Joe Staley, 49er's LT had 5 penalties and 7 sacks in 2012. Newhouse had 3 and 10. 49ers had 436 passing attempts. Packers had 558.Now I am not claiming Newhouse is as good as Staley. But based on the stats presented, he had a pretty good year, in my opinion.

I don't think Newhouse was horrible in pass blocking this year he obviously improved over his last season but he was pretty horrible run blocking (probably one of the worst in the league actually). Unless he can make a big leap he needs to be upgraded. He makes for a nice back up though.
