Re: RT

It's funny cuz Cheesner and I had a discussion about 2-3 days ago about Arrigo on FF. Waldo is this you on there? What happened with Arrigo? This deserves it's own topic, but alas, here's the link:

Holy crap. He posted pics that weren't his, but implied that they were. And then cooked up a story about how he had permission to post them, but got caught lying?

Crazy.

I don't read Packerchatters but from I've read here, did this dude get run out of there on a rail?

Now that's some funny stuff right there. I (and most everyone else) always knew he was a fraud, but seeing him exposed like that is poetic justice.

Hopefully, this guy can win the battle. He has a lot of physical tools.

(Allen Barbre workout video)

The video is interesting because it gives you a look inside the training room. I like the huge banners with Packer legends on them... Starr, Nitschke, etc.

Add me to the list that wants to see Barbre take the RT position this year. He has the skils and temperament you want in a lineman. Not sure if he lacks the cognitive ability to concentrate or keep his temperament or what. I hope he can put it together.

I can't say much about Giaco, but I am a bit concerned about his footspeed. I think Barbre is quicker on his feet and able to be more aggressive without missing his man or getting beat, although I admittedly don't have a lot to go on with the Giacster.

It will be interesting to see what the depth chart looks like at the start of training camp for RT and C. I sure get the impression that MM wants Barbre and Spitz to win those positions. I know they need to win the positions with their play, but I wonder if they'll be #1 on the depth chart at the outset of TC.

He probably did. Not sure becuae I quit posting there becuase you can get banned if you so mach as sneeze. Also the fact that you need a road map so you post the right info on the right board.

Barbre does appear to be a bit of a rock head. A guy like him could take a couple years to develop. He's had his couple years. Now it's time to find out if he has it.

I like him more at tackle than guard. At guard he has a player to his right and a player to his left to coordinate with. At tackle it seems there are less stunts and less complex line calls. I could be wrong, but with his physical skillset and mental skillset, he might work best at tackle. I'd love it if Sitton and him turn into maulers on the right side. It would really change our offense, especially in the redzone.

I went there for the first time ever thanks to that link.

OMG!

Arrigo's infamy is nearly universal in blogdom, as is Packerchatter's style.

Here both were right there in your face.

Arrigo: Check out the pics I took.

Everybody: Cool! You Rock!

One Dude: Arrigo, those pics belong to somebody else!

Everybody: There must be some mistake!

Webmaster: This is Packerchatters, we don't say bad things about Arrigo. Final warning! I'll ban you all. And knock off the one word responses cause we don't do that here.


If that site is always like the posts in that thread then I'm glad I'm here. This site rocks compared to that one. In between the hissy fights, juvenile humor and ad hominem attacks there are always chunks of real good Packer stuff.

Here's a great peek into his workout. Click the related video to the right.
