But honest to God, if you actually stand pat after Clifton's poor performance and re-injury, I will officially start to wonder what your agenda is.

And I'm not even talking trade, here, though I'd bet that some team has an OT or two on their depth chart who's better than anyone you've got. I'm talking about doing something. Anything. You've got cash to spend. Levi Jones. Runyan. Tell me these guys couldn't at least provide the depth you don't currently have at that position.

There are guys out there on the street that could help. There are several teams holding fire sales. There is NO draft between now and the end of a season in which your team is capable of being highly competitive in every area other than the offensive line. This should be a no-brainer.

Do your job, Ted. Field a competitive team. Please.

Sincerely,

Agreed, Ted needs to look at something for LT, at a minimum for a backup for Lang, who I think will make some sizable improvement over the rest of the season. But since we just went into our depth, we need to replenish it as best as possible.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

From what I saw I think T.J. Lang deserves a chance to play this sunday. I know it was only 17 snaps but we are playing another soft team in the browns. Lets see what the kid can do.

Been there since about week two... my tolerance for sitting on his hands is growing thin.

Yes they added Tauscher on the right side.. time to address the concerns on the left. We are two deep in the interior of the line.. I can live with that..

While I agree with the team needing to do something,we will never know if they are calling teams, or bringing guys in unless its reported.

I recall a few years ago people were just going nutts that Lavar Arrington was not even being called...And at the same time he literally was in 1265 on a tour, and people were just blasted Ted for not bringing him in..

So dont get mad cuz you dont know what is going on but get mad that they brought someone in and didnt sign them

Again.. I have faith in Lang.. but we have zero fallback if Clifton can't suit up.

And personally, I think Clifton needs a couple of weeks to get right.. We have a dead roster spot in Breno.. fill it with someone that can help us now or at least has a chance to be active on Sundays.

I don't think that anything will happen.

The thing that I expect to see is T.J. Lang starting at LT. Don't know if it's a good decision, but we've lucked out that way with Tauscher and Clifton. Maybe it'll work again.

I think it'll help our running game. I'm just not sure that it'll help Rodgers. I hope that you know what you're doing, Ted....

I think the active roster is more for having the players there who are going to participate in the game. Not so much for activating someone as a back up because you are predicting somebody to get injured. Replace Breno with another T you are still going to have a T that isn't active.

What he said. +1

I like what I saw of Lang on Sunday. Cleveland's line is (a little) better than the Lions and will be a good test.

Absolutely. But there's nothing behind him other than an injury-prone penalty machine. The team needs depth, badly.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
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.”
Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though
TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes
Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
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
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
