Ted Thompson's scalp

[retailguy]

I would love to see Tauscher brought back if only because I feel he has been a loyal Packer for years and deserves to retire in the G&G on his own terms and eventually enter the PHOF.

Disagree completely.

I'd love to see Tauscher brought back if he'd be an improvement on the line (and at this point, that might be a possibility).

The rest of your reasons don't justify making the move.

guy has got to be able to play. right now, i think it's too soon. he's not ready to play yet. though I hope that's part of the plan after the bye week.

I think we have the horses to go deep into the payoffs.

Playoffs...PLAYOFFS!!??

no no. PAYOFFS. He must be betting the spread or something.

sorry. i misread that.

A veteran back up or two on the offensive line would be nice.

music to my ears. we're just too inexperienced there for a team who has an "open window". we aren't rebuilding anymore. we need some veteran depth that can fill in like this. we've got a center. that's IT. the rest of the guys have little game experience.

But do teams let guys like a Jeff Dellenbach or a Bruce Wilkerson go in today's FA? I'd love some vet experience to guide the younger players, but it seems the ones left over are way over the hill or just suck to begin with.

All i am saying iis, on paper , we have the talent. I am blaming the coaching staff for penalties, misreads. Poor play calling and a lack of concentration. McCarthy has to start looking over his shoulder.

Wholeheartedly agree - when would he be available?

I can't blame McCarthy for the penalties, sure the team is really sloppy right now, but penalties? McCarthy isn't happy with them, but it is against league policy to fine a player for too many penalties. Make them run a bunch, but he isn't the one holding or jumbing off sides. Young teams are going to make all of these mistakes, but most of you can keep telling yourself that it is a good thing to have the youngest team 4 years in a row.

Really? You're gonna say most? Don't you have a knot hole in a fence somewhere to defile?

Really? You can't blame MM? Then you and I have completely different views on the role of the head coach in the NFL and what his job responsibilities are. Lack of discipline can be attributed to one thing.

24 hours ago, I would have disagreed.

I'm beginning to think your argument might have merit...

last week when barbre had lost it, we really didn't have anyone to fill in. this week with the injury, the replacement at least had game experience. the end result wasn't better this week, but probably will next week.

barbre played better, but was responsible for one of the sacks and several pressures.

no one but the coaches to work with these guys in practice. guys like runyan have been around the block. they may be old, but know every little trick in the book. even and old runyan wouldn't have looked like barbre did last week. he'd have known enough tricks to keep the guy honest.

colledge? Hell I hope he was just rusty from little play there during the preseason. if not, well, we're screwed.

The Eagles have lost their presumed starting RT and still don't want Runyan back. Its obviously tempting, but there are definite signs he is done, fork and all.

Barbre clearly straightened his disaster out. Now he needs to clean up the normal problems. But the backup situation is intolerable at tackle. While RG and I disagree about Colledge's best position, he isn't ready to be LT now.

I prefer T2s approach as it mirrors what the Steelers, Patriots (prior to Moss signing) and Eagles (prior to buying a new O line this year) and these are the teams that year in and year out are playoff caliber despite heavy FA losses. Maybe the Ravens as well.

But even if you live that approach to building a team, the roster construction of the offensive line is idiotic. Your backup left tackle is on the practice squad obviously unready to play. And the backup RT is inactive on gameday. And Colledge, unless they practiced it during the closed sessions, has spent no time at Tackle this year.

Tauscher is still available because he is still rehabbing. A standard recovery period puts him as ready to practice in October.
