Can we spend some money on the O-Line this offseason?????

[Packers4Glory]

This line is an F'n joke. pathetic. they couldn't stop a decent HS pass rush!

Poor Rodgers has ZERO chance back there an entire game. NONE.

I just don't understand how they didn't see how bad this line was in practices and let it get to this level of suck.

Good OL aren't exactly abundant in the NFL. Teams keep their own and thus few good FAs ever reach the market. Very rarely will you see a Steve Hutchinson-like scenario.

If only we had drafted Logan Mankins.....

right but there are guys who could have helped. They may not be all-world hutchinson types, but they solid guys who dont block like a tackling dummy either.

Part of the problem is that we don't need guards, we're okay for guards. We need tackles, and teams never let good Tackles go in free agency. The Tackles you see in FA are guys like Tony Moll (i.e. journeymen you look to immediately upgrade).

If we want a LT for the future, we pretty much need to draft one. During the draft I was screaming for Thompson to trade up and get Oher (right before the Ravens did), but I'm pretty happy with the Matthews pick all things being equal.

If we could somehow land a guy like Brian Bulaga (junior LT out of Iowa, they run a ZBS too) in the next draft though, that would be great.

I liked the CMII pick, but part of me can't help but think there must have been some tackles in round 2 and 3.

FUCK the ZBS. Power running game. This is Wisconsin, winter, etc. BIG olineman like Dallas and NYG.

Hell -

How about we drop some coin 'n' barter like this week!?

Take the OL to Grazies...if you want to spend on Packers OL this season.

Recall TT was highly interested in Andre Smith. If available -- possibly chosen over Raji.

Denver is cold and it worked there.

BTW, you do know that Lombardi brought zone blocking to the pack, right?

While we are at it, do they have an assistant line coach who could get to replace Campen? It would be nice to have a line coach who actually knows what he is doing.

Tauscher and Clifton were rookies when they started for the Packers OL I believe. It wasn't until their second season they got it together and were formidable. Some of these guys have been here what? 4 years? and they still suck? Time to move on.
