Tretter can slide over to guard and also plays center. Might even do better at tackle than Sherrod in a pinch.Originally Posted by Joemailman

Except he has spent zero time at tackle as a pro. He must have looked good there the last two weeks of practice.
I will miss Derek's first round measurables.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
I don't understand. Measurables?
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Height, weight, hand size, speed, vertical leap, broad jump, shuttle run, etc. All the combine and Pro Day stuff.

Do you think it's a case of measurables not translating to performance on the field? Or do you think the injury did him in?

The injury hurt and it hurt just as we have seen Bulaga struggling on the road, when he cannot get a good enough kick-step (first step for tackle pass blocking) to get in front of the onrushing DE/OLB. It hurt Sherrod doubly because the one thing he seemed to be able to do early was latch on to large men and not let them go. But even he had to catch them first. And in his rookie year, prior to his injury, he seemed like he could do this. He had good feet and great size.
But he was nowhere near a drive blocker, lacked functional lower body strength and didn't deliver much of a punch. I don't remember it pre-injury, but this year he seemed to play top heavy and tall. A dreaded waist bender they say.
So his measurables meant he should have been able to do it, but he already had several areas to work on when the injury seemed to rob him of the one thing he could do well. So to answer your question; both problems did him in.

It was a good joke, especially by pbmax's standards.
It is quite surprising that Sherrod got released. But they have been giving him some spot duty the last several games, I thought he looked bad. Packers must have concluded thatt Sherry is unplayable, like a scratched CD, so throw away.
He must've really been hopeless, even in practice, for them to cut him when there's no real other backup tackle on the roster.
It's not like they had no other candidates to cut, Brandon Bostick.

Now if we'd just cut Just a Jag Jones life would be good
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
I do wonder, if Bradford shows any improvement at all inside, if the Packers would be tempted to cut Jones, or if they feel his experience makes him a valuable backup and special teams guy.
