All I know is I LOVE THE GREEN BAY PACKERS!!! And can't wait till next season. Now I'm just waiting to hear those 3 exciting words from Favre....I'M COMING BACK!!!
BTW, I voted Packers.
I'm waiting for those 3 words too, 007, it makes me almost
ill to think of watching a game for 3 hours with no Brett Favre
in sight..... week after week.
Sorry, bad night.....
You can say its not a strength but how can you say it's a huge weakness. They gave up 19 sacks all year. That's fantastic. The deep, dominant Giants line was held sackless. As was the great Seahawk passrush. The run game needs improvement and I would also like to see a veteran OG added but I think its a little dramatic calling it a huge weakness.
Agreed. Almost every team in the league wishes they had bookend OTs like Clifton and Tauscher. You realize how much you need them when you don't have them. People dog Wells, but he's solid. He's really good with the line calls--which goes unnoticed by many fans.
"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson
As always, Tauscher and Clifton were very solid
Well was average at best IMO; he seemed to take a step back
Colledge, Spitz, and Coston....they just were not good enough IMO.
It would be wonderful if we brought in a starting OG and let the others fight it would for the other spots.

Before that 19 sacks suggests the interior line is good enough, let's factor in that Brett may be the best at reading the blitz in the entire league and he gets rid of the ball very quickly on most occasions. What Brett does so very well at the line and after the snap is every bit a part of those lowly 19 sacks.
I wouldn't call our OL a huge weakness. College is extremely inconsistent and the run game is a work in progress but you can't complain about their pass pro.
Pass protection is overrated. Favre gets rid of the ball extremely quick. Our pass protection even looked OK in 2005 and 2006 in terms of raw stats, simply because of Favre. Our tackles are great in pass protection, but our interior OL is very shaky in both aspects of blocking...although I will agree that they are more consistent in pass protection than they are in run blocking.
Our OL is certainly a big weakness...the difference between us and the Giants is the fact that the NY running game DOMINATED in the playoffs against any DL. Ours did fine against a speedy finesse defense, but couldn't handle an aggressive physical front. We need a major upgrade in the interior of the OL to be considered a true title contender.
