With the bulk firing today, I have to believe the announcements about departures are done. I can't believe more firings would come later. Are they doomed to another slow start in O-line play in 2009 with Campen still the guy?

Maybe not. I know MM said they would do the reviews of the D coaches all at one time and the O coaches at another time. I don't know which group went first. They could be reviewing the O coaches now. If they are done with the "O", then Campen appears safe. -
Re: Does this mean Campen is safe?
MM says he does not like his lineman to practice cut blocks in practice. If so, stands to reason that the o-line would always start out slowly. Until a few games in and they have had a chance to cut-block in live action.Originally posted by Patler
Another reason to hate the ZBS and resulting cut blocking. I mean, if you can't practice it, it is hard to expect perfection in the scheme.Comment

Didn't MM say the other day that they were going to take a serious look at the run scheme in the offseason? I don't know what exactly that means, but it sounded like it could be a shift in the zone scheme - or at least more blending.
I'd have to say Philbin isn't safe yet. That line has more talent than he is getting out of it IMO.Go PACKComment

Agreed. As Larry McCarren states identify their positions in order to promote continuity.Originally posted by Bossman641Comment

I've never been a huge fan of switching guys around. I know, you want your most talented guys out there, but if they're playing out of position you just weakened two spots.
Decide who plays what position, and keep them there.
I'm not a big Campen fan but I don't know that much about line play, either."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

I don't know. I kind of feel like the Packers hand was forced when the story on Sanders leaked on NFLBloggingInMyUnderpants.com or whatever the hell it was. When it broke into the "legitimate" media - they had a choice to make. Confirm the firings or let Sanders and the rest twist in the wind. They did the right thing and confirmed it.
No leak about Campen means no immediate pressure to alert the media. Or he's staying. I hope it's the former.#14Comment

A healthy Grant in September might make the OL look a little better early. I also thing the Pack will will be looking for more of a set lineup on the OL next year.Originally posted by PatlerI can't run no more

Re: Does this mean Campen is safe?
to a good reson not to even use it. how the hell are they suppose to run it right if they can't practise it?Originally posted by Sparkey
do we even do much cut blocking? i know its a big part of the system, but i didn't notice much of it this yearComment

I wonder how much we actually cut block too? I don't notice a lot of it."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 ThompsonComment

McCarthy began meeting with his offensive coaches Monday afternoon and was to be back at it again today. A source close to the situation said a change could be made in the offensive line.

If I were James Campen I'd be pulling out my rolodex and seeing if I still had Jags's number..."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Why? If Jags happens to make any side trips to New Jersey anytime soon, he could wind up out of a job too."Greatness is not an act... but a habit.Greatness is not an act... but a habit." -Greg JenningsComment
