Foster and I lock horns on a lot of things, but we've been the voices crying in the wilderness, sounding the alarm on Clifton, for some time now. May our efforts not be in vain.

If the Redskins are willing to pay Clifton $7 million per, they can have him. A deal similar to what Pace got last year from Chicago is the absolute most we should pay for someone at this stage of their career like Clifton is.

I'm not trying to downplay the contributions he made to this team, but the writing was on the wall with Chad in '09. He needed surgery on both knees last off-season and then suffered several nagging injuries during that caused him to miss a quarter of the season last year. He had to be helped off the field a few times because of an ankle sprain or other injury including our playoff game against the Cardinals.

Use that $5 million + and go out and get a RFA LT or bring Tauscher back for a couple more years.

I've already said that Cliffy won't play 16 games this season. You two aren't alone.

I do see him as a stop gap though while we're training someone else to take over. The way I see it, the more we can limit sacks on Aaron, the better. Aaron's health is my #1 concern in 2010 for the Packers. After all, he and Woody were our MVPs last year.

I really don't think anyone here thought Clifton was anything more then simply the best we have. I'm with the others on this board that don't really agree with the letting go of serviceable players unless you have a comparable and/or better replacement. I understand I don't know the Packers plan, and I'm sure it's a good one, but from an outside perspective, it's intimidating.

But if he does get $7 million / year for 3 years or whatever, I really can't blame the front office. That's a lot of money.

Some of us go a step further and are comfortable with Lang in his place if the bidding got out of hand. Wager included. 😉

I hope you're right about the Lang think Pack93. That would be awesome. I can't say I'm sold on the idea but I also can't say I'm not. I just don't know. I do know I'd like to get Lang in one position and let him develop though.

Do I think Lang is the optimum choice at Left Tackle.. probably not.. but I feel a hell of a lot better at tackle this year with him on the roster.. last season we had a injured Clifton and alot of doubt beyond that...

Watching tape on Lang.. his footwork prior to joining the Packers was pretty impressive.. along with his initial pop off the snap.. I think he can protect that edge until we have a better option in place.

Clifton may be able to gut a year or two out yet.. but sooner or later we need to address the depth on both ends of the line..

LT Tony Pashos is heading to Washington for a visit as well today.. maybe we are jumping to conclusions that Washington will throw the farm at Cliffy?

That drunken sailor Snyder is going to sign both of them. He wants to take a qb at 4.

It's probably good news. I don't want him signing Cliffy AND taking Okung/Campbell etc. with their 4th pick.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
