    RG, you need to be crowing. Your guy, Walker, is ascending. I need to rewatch that game, but I did note a few times I really liked a play or 2 by him. My real question at this point is....why are they still rotating him with Yosh.

    I'm not saying yosh is playing poorly, but Walker is starting to look like the future at LT, and yosh is not under contract. What gives? You know my opinion. Time to move Yosh to RT and Tom to RG (or center).

    I suppose it's not good, any which way.
    I'd feel the same way if I was asked to cover a WR all day and I weighed 250+

    Rasheed is only 23. He’s still got a year or two of physical development on top of technique honing. The kid could be a top 10 or even top 5 LT if he keeps his arrow pointing up.

    Given that he's only 23, that shouldn't be a problem . . .

    As for Campbell, a reporter asked him about his relationship with LeFleur, and Campbell was very, very positive.

    So his internet remarks were not aimed at The Flower. Maybe the media, maybe Joe Barely, maybe his position coach, maybe fans - we don't know.

    But at this point should it not be a foregone conclusion that Barry doesn't use his players very well - there's an article in the PackerNews.com about how he doesn't utilize Quay Walker well, either - ?

    At this point, unless Green Bay's defense pitches near-shoutouts in the next three games (and maybe even if that happens), it would seem a disaster to NOT fire Barely as soon as the season is over.

    As mentioned before, the Packers don't need to fire Barely. His contract is up after this year. Unless we resign him to be the DC he is gone.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    I did rewatch the 1st half of last weeks game. I'm not sure how they gave Walker an "elite" run blocking grade when we ran center to right 80% of the time, but I will say this. He did his job and sealed off his guy. He also had a really nice run block on one of the 2 first half runs that went his way. He no longer gets TE help in pass pro. He has improved his effort immensely, and I have said many times that effort is 80% of great OL play. Big guys can be lazy and rely on size. It works in HS and college. Not in the pros. I watched vita vea run right around Myers. Vea is fast for a fat guy, but come on man. He simply should never be able to do that lined up over center.

    I just want a DC that tailors the scheme to fit the players strengths. Dave Aranda was known to always adjust what he ran to what he had. Not cramming a square peg into a round hole. Seems simple and logical, but it seems rarer than you would expect.

    Aranda was the Badgers best DC ever IMO; and then somebody tripled his salary and there he went
    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 ?
