Rookie Corey Linsley for the Pro Bowl? Aaron Rodgers says so

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Corey Linsley, like any good NFL rookie, does as he's told.

That was evident Wednesday in the Green Bay Packers' locker room, where he was about to share the story of the apology letter he wrote — apparently to his fellow offensive linemen — that quarterback Aaron Rodgers referenced Tuesday on his radio show.

But first, the Packers center had to check with guard T.J.Lang to see if it was OK.

A minute later, Linsley returned.

Would you look at that? Draft a guy who's played center in college, leave him at center in the pros and he does well! Never would have saw that coming!

When the season started I was nervous that Rodgers was going to be taking shots in the mug because of Linsley's inexperience. More than pleasantly surprised by his performance thus far this season.

My wife is a giant Ohio State fan (grew up in Cleveland) so I am subject to watching the games on Saturdays every season (I don't mind it so much because I love the B1G Conference). I was THRILLED when they drafted Linsley because I thought he would be groomed into a stud offensive lineman for the Packers. However, I didn't think he would have such an impact so early in his professional career. It's a good thing he has Sitton and Lang to play in between because I am sure that has helped with his quick progression.

Linsley gets 1-2 pancake blocks a game which is really rare to see along the Packers offensive line...

I don't understand this at all. How can he be good? After all, didn't Aaron have to holler at him once?

TheKanataThrilla (23h) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round
