That putting on the weight thing I have to look into some more. The kid is already a converted TE that has bulked up. I'm not syaing it cannot be done...That is what Justin Harrell (Oh, snap, lol) did.
PS I edited previous post--please note Iggles O line.
Edit---
And btw---
There is (and has been) NO indication of a transition away from the ZBS by this team. None. Nada. Squadoosh. I go back to that Jamon Meredith signing. I thought it was a good one, but inferior to a Duke Robinson signing. A Duke Robinson signing would have (imo) been indicitiave of a possible transition.
We get a Lang. I like Lang, but he too is light in the pants.
It will be a continuous source of weakness on this team. We may get better on that o-line, but it will never be dominant until we get bigger there. We don't have to go "huge"--That would take many years to get big and fast--read "rare commdodity", as in 1st round draft choices--- Just bigGER.
The sad thing is that "good enough" is a continued theme in Green Bay. We (GBP) get sucked into thinking that this bogus combination of ZBS and "Good fit for the ZBS" type-players are good enough.
I have said, say, and will say....
Bullshit.
Edit 27b--
INSTEAD, we seem to be going the WRONG F#CKING WAY...size-wise.
Edit-28a--
Woke up in a good mood, now I'm not, lol
We play against (arguably) the best defensive front 4 in the NFL
WITH-
(Arguably) The worst offensive line in the NFL.
1. Who didn't see the results of THAT coming...I mean, really.
2. We (probably) go NOWHERE this year (even if we make the playoffs) as a result.
3. If we DO have any success in the post season, it will be IN SPITE OF, not because of, that offensive line.
4. We MIGHT. The reason we MIGHT, is because we are so VERY WELL ARMED in so many other areas of this football team. THAT is what is so INCREDIBLY frustrating about it.
5. I don't know who to blame. Most want to blame Ted. I WANT TO BLAME FRED FLINTSTONE... I think it is HIM making the decision on sticking with the ZBS, and Ted drafts accordingly. I could be wrong, but SO COULD YOU (to anyone out there saying "bullshit" to themselves right about now) We have NO WAY of knowing, for sure..it could be BOTH of them, I don't know.
6. Mike McCarthy is Fred when I get on a rant. It's nothing personal. :thumbleft:
(Probably) more to come.
