I expected Aaron Rodgers to do a nice job replacing Brett Favre this year, but what I did not expect was for our OT's, the cornerstones of our offense, to both play so horribly. They were fine against the Vikings, but since then they've been terrible. And now Clifton has a bad hammy. There are problems with the interior O-line and Ryan Grant as well, plus the injuries to the WR's, but the poor play of Clifton and Tauscher are as big a reason as any why the Packers have been losing. And I don't see any replacements on the roster.

If Clifton and Tauscher don't turn things around, and fast, the Packers won't make the playoffs. And no matter how the season turns out, OT needs to be Ted Thompson's #1 priority in the off-season.

No way Green Bay can contend with Chicago at this time. Not unless something miraculous happens.

Tausch and Clifton somehow both got very old and terrible this offseason.

Was it just me or did it look like Grant did better with Barbre at guard?

He ran better later in the game, but I don't think Barbre had anything to do with it. Maybe Grant just loosened up a little as the game went on. He showed a little bit of power and burst for a change.

The entire o line has been bad. Wells hasn't been an upgrade over Spitz. Everyone is holding. We need to spend some money this summer and upgrade our entire o-line and possibly change schemes.

College, Moll, and Wells are all ZBS type guys (I know Wells was drafted by Sherman).

Clifton, Tausher, Spitz, and Sitton are typical power linemen.

We need to get consistant across the line. Either play the power guys or the ZBS guys. But you can't play them at the same time.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
