Taking a look at our season...One thing I remember from early on in the season and much of the last part of last year is that when we had Clifton healthy as well as with all the other starters, Rodgers was sitting in the pocket with no worries. The Saints actually had to get out of their blitz packages cause Rodgers was burning the single coverage due to the blitzes not hitting home.

After Clifton went down Newhouse has been up down. He had 2 very bad games against Allen that Rodgers nullified by getting the ball out quick and with bootlegs. He's also had countless bad games other than playing the likes of Allen. Losing Sitton is obviously bad as well as Bulaga.

I will say this, playing at home on the slower turf with Clifton, Bulaga and Sitton will make a world of difference.

Goal right now should be dominating the Bears and getting the hell out of the regular season and by the time we play our first game we'll have all our weapons, aside from collins obviously. But I think the biggest thing is getting that offensive line back to health.

Thank you Rios.

I said in the offseason that we were one TE too many and one OL not enough. I love 🇹🇹 & 🇲🇲, but I think that was a mistake.

In the future, keep drafting 2 OL every year. Protect 🇦🇷.

That's true. We could have the starting offensive line for the playoffs that we had to begin the season. Then with Jennings and Starks back we'd be back to having all of our horses on offense. Hope they can all get healed up.

Technically, that should be "no fewer than" 2 OL.[boxing]

More worried about Cliffy than I am about Bulaga. If Cliffy comes back, Newhouse can be the swing tackle, backing up both sides.

Yep, getting that OL healthy is definitely the biggest concern right now for the pack. Rest up and get healed because we will need all the protection we can get in the playoffs.

The OL has been problematic for a while now. They were in the Super Bowl. Pittsburgh hit Rodgers several times in that game. He's just an amazing QB at thinking quickly. That's what teams do when they blitz him. They get him playing faster, which elevates his play. As a result, the OL looks better. With that said, I would agree that Chad Clifton makes a difference if they get him back. Marshall Newhouse has regressed to the point that I think they would’ve benched him for Derek Sherrod in the postseason. That’s why I think they gave Sherrod several reps in the Oakland game. I believe they were preparing him in case Clifton can't return. That's just speculation on my part, though.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
