With Ahman Green back and the extra tackles, maybe McCarthy is installing a U-76/65 package. :P

Better yet - in order to avoid being sacked 8 times in this game Clifton and Tauscher are going to line up as TE's in 2 TE/3 WR sets to protect Rodgers. We'll have a 7 man o-line! :onfloor:

they have fallen. past tense. his body is broken, and consequently he can't get the job done anymore. So, do the coaches keep getting him starts because they feel like he has earned as much over the course of his career, or do they cut him off now before he can do any more damage? Keep the kid in there.

I agree with you. Keep the kids in there. If they make a mistake they catch the heat and learn from it, not to mention the fact they're healthy. All a vet can do is shrug it off and play longer on bum body parts. I'm not trying to negate what Tausch or Cliffy have done in the past.

I think u may also see Green and BJack in the backfield on third down. You essentially have count em now
Jennings, Driver, Lee/Havner, J Fin, Green, Bjack
That is six potential recievers if The Vikes over comit to the blitz they will be succeptable to draws slants and screens at the same time.

Unfortunately there are rules prohibiting the offense from fielding more than 11 players.

You have five o-lineman, a QB, and five spots left over. If Green and B-Jack are in the backfield at once, that leaves Driver, Jennings, and one more.

Oh -- and Finley isn't going to play this week, right?

Keep Lang in there. Cliffy can back him up. Let Cliffy's body stay fresh. It will hold up much better in relief.

Boy oh boy it would be sweet to see Green break off a long run against the Vikings again.

I'd actually consider lining up an extra tackle in a U-71 type formation. Pound Grant right at Jared Allen repeatedly.

I'm not forgetting how well Clifton did against Allen last year, but I'm also not forgetting how poorly Clifton did against him this year. He wasn't healthy after two weeks last game, and I don't expect him to be healthy this week either. He's falling apart. He didn't get the job done last time at all, and I think the Packers are WAY better off with a healthy TJ Lang than a banged up Chad Clifton.

Clifton did not even play against the Vikings this year. He did get torched by Allen for a couple of sacks in the Dome last year, but that was nothing compared to the 4-1/2 sacks that Allen got this year in the Crapdome, with Clifton out of the lineup.

Clifton shut down Allen in the season opener at Lambeau last year. I don't think Allen even had a tackle, let alone a sack. I think people are dumping on Clifton way too much here. He is nearing the end of the line, but he may still have some good football in him. I'm not ready to give up on him just yet.

I'm pretty sure Clifton is responsible for at least 1 sack, and was injured, during the Vikings game in Week 4.

you're right. I stand corrected. wasn't thinking. Colledge started that game at left tackle. and he was bad. Lang came in and was much better, even with the starting LG out of the lineup.

I am not ready to give up on him yet, but I am also not going to advocate for rushing him back into the lineup before he is ready. He was clearly not ready last time. I am not ready to give up on him, but I am done counting on him to be the same ol' Cliffy until he shows that he still has some gas left in the tank.
