im cautiously optimistic about the OL here, still dont think we have really improved that much...but do have the depth that we didnt have last year. Hoping Bulaga will challenge for a starting spot but atleast be ready to step in if cliffy or taushy go down injured.

Mike McCarthy.'s Comments...

We're a better football team in 2010 today than we have been in the past but that's just on paper.

I like the way we look on paper.

I may be wrong... Trust me, I often am.

BUT I SWEAR.... THat is THE EXACT SAME (Word For Word) statement he made after last years draft.

So do we have a depth chart yet for the OL? If so, what is it?

If not, anyone want to take a guess?

Here's mine:
Cliffy - Spitz - Wells - Sitton - Tausch
Buluga - Colledge - Spitz - ? - Lang

I wonder who will take that last spot. Dietrich-Smith or Newhouse. I asume that we won't go with 10 O-linemen on the roster.

Clifton - Bulaga
Spitz - Newhouse
Wells - Dietrich Smith
Sitton - Newhouse
Tauscher - Lang

I really wanted to see Lang in the starting lineup this year and I though the place for him was going to be LG. I hope it is a real competition for left and right tackle. I understand you don't pay guys that kind of money to sit on the bench, but I want the best players on the field. I have no problem giving thank you contacts to old veterans who bled green and gold on the field.

Colledge, Babre, and Giacommini have had enough time to become players and haven't gotten it done. I used to be a Colledge, but his matador whiff that cost us the playoff was the final nail for me.

I see Colledge as a backup to both G positions assuming Spitz beats him out for the starting LG job.

Clifton, Tauscher, Wells, Sitton, Bulaga, Spitz, and Lang are probably all good bets to make the final roster based on past performance, draft position, and starting experience. That probably leaves Colledge, Newhouse, Dietrich-Smith, Barbre, and Giacomini battling for two and maybe three more offensive line spots on the final 53-man roster.

Assuming that this is not just McCarthy doing his usual management non-speak, here's my prediction:

Either Newhouse proves to be the steal of the draft and the LG equivalent of Sitton, or LG proves to be a sieve and Bulaga (sans reps at G) gets shifted over midseason. Oh yes, and if the "sieve" scenario develops, Rodgers will be knocked out of a game before midseason.

IMO only putting Bulaga at LT reps is asking for trouble. I'm sorry, but if McCarthy and Thompson go into this season thinking that Colledge/Spitz are the answer for 2010 at LG, they're playing with fire next to the gas pumps.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

i'm a little worried about College being able to be a professional after all his whining, to be honest.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Actually, I'm hoping that Dietrich-Smith and Newhouse both beat out Colledge as Colledge rubbed me the wrong way last year. Yeah, I know that we go with 9. So if one of them beat out Colledge, I'd be stoked. Or best possible situation I guess is for both to beat out Colledge and one of them make it to the PS.

beast (8m) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (10m) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (20m) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (31m) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (41m) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (1h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (1h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (1h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (2h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (2h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (2h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (2h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (3h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (3h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (4h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (4h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (4h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (4h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (4h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (4h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (5h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (5h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (5h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (5h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (5h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (5h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (5h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (5h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (5h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (5h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (5h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (5h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (5h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (5h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (5h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (5h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (5h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (5h) : Packers will get in

beast (5h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (6h) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (6h) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (7h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (8h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (8h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (9h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (18h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings
