What to do at Right Tackle?

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'd preach patience, but I'd have a short lease. I think whomever said give him the next two games and then see where he's at is right. I think Charles Woodson might be the best corner in the NFC, and he wasn't exactly stellar tonight. Guys have bad games. Hopefully, it's something that can be corrected. Anybody heard any news on Tausch, btw?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Did Sitton play much better? The whole right side looked suspect in pass protection.

I thought he looked ok. I didn't really hear his name. No news is good news.

Didn't he draw a holding penalty?

I thought Sitton was pretty good. The one holding call I thought was very iffy. I did miss one holding call while I was in the john though. (I don't even know if that one was on him.) There were at least a few plays where Sitton shut down Tommie Harris blocking him one on one. Tonight, it was pretty much all on Barbre. Fortunately, you can game plan to help a tackle out. You don't like to do it, but our receivers are so good that I think we can get away with it.

Ya Sitton looked pretty good... that holding call was questionable.

Hopefully it's a teachable moment for Barbre. You gotta start somewhere, and while he struggled, he can only go up from here. Don't know if it was pad level, technique or what? Give the Bears DE some credit too. He's hard to handle. It will be very interesting to see how Barbre responds to this game. Hopefully he mans up and shows he belongs because I don't think anyone else is coming through the door to save them.

he wasn't the only one that had trouble. give him some more time and a little help from a tightend now and then...he'll be fine.

It's also possible that the DE Ugedsoahasidgh is actually that good. No excuse for that level of play, but I think that Barbre just got a nasty introduction to playing as an NFL starter. He'll improve over time and by game four shouldn't be as much of a liability.

After all, if Colledge can improve, Barbre should have no problem.


Also, Barbre did a decent job run blocking few times, so give some credit. He has much more upside in the run game than Tausch did.

well, tomorrow i could drive a rock from my yard down to green bay.

its about 4 inches around

i think putting it on the right side of the line might be a better option then what we saw tonight

i also have a 3 inch stone, if we want to go with a smaller quicker look, or a big 6 incher if we really want to plug things up

those options might actually slow the de's down just a tad

Breno about got Flynn killed in the preseason game against the Bills against a 3rd string DE. He's not close to the answer.
Clifton's solid on the other side, so shift protection to right side, chip w/ a back or motion TE to help out Barbre until he gets it's going.
Or sign Tauchser and cut Breno.

To early to overreact about RT, wait until we look at the tape.... then storm Allen Barbre's house with torches and pitchforks.

We should find out if he has a dog.

Don't hurt the dog.

Traffic cone would be less work and easier to see.

He has to get some reps under his belt. He didn't collapse in the 2nd half and had a couple of good players on the last drive.

Giacomini struggled in pass blocking in preseason and that is supposed to be his strong suit.

I would say they will give Lang reps at RT to back him up and relieve him if the struggles don't get better by the 3rd game.

[Brohm]

That Chillar guy, just a glorified SS.

Horrible player get him off the field!!

Chillar v. run tonight is something to talk about

[Partial]

Stay the course, make some coaching adjustments by giving him help and keeping a player in the backfield to protect ARod and work the screen.

Don't get carried away. Chillar whiffed off a block on Forte's best run in the first half.
