The Moll train?!?

[Partial]

Yeah, I don't buy this one bit. They're trying to light a fire under Colledge. That's all.

[Bretsky]

Colledge was getting overpowered in the game the other night. If he's not strong enough or doesn't have the technique to utilize his strength it might be a while.

Veteran help needed.

Your making a mountain out of a Moll Hill.

They need to keep their eye on the Moll. An irregularly shaped Moll or a Moll that continues to grow can be a very dangerous thing.

He was publicly anointed a starter the day he was drafted. He had a subpar game vs. SD.

Purely motivational move. Moll may surprise fans, but he still lacks the strength to consistently play at guard.

There are going to be vets cut in the next week or two, wouldn't be surprised to see TT pick somebody up.

I just watched all the interviews from yesterday's practice and EVERYONE said the exact same thing: they're just switching stuff around to see what works best. Don't expect any of it to be permanent.

I'd expect a little shuffling this week and then they'll settle into something depending on what we see when Atlanta comes to town.

That's what I thought initially, but all of the reports I've read sound like this came about because they want to take a legit look at Moll--not just get him some reps at another position. That tells me they are very concerned with Colledge.

I think Colledge will be a good OL eventually. Maybe it was asking too much to assume he was ready to be a starter as a rookie.

Moll may have shot the sheriff, but he didn't shoot the Deputy!! Hop aboard the MOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLl TRAINNNNN.

Is it asking too much for us to assume Moll or Spitz are ready as rookies ?

Yes

Which is exactly why I'm so perplexed as to TT's lack of interest in quality OL in free agency. And I know there were no great ones besides a couple, but there was plenty of depth with more quality than we went into training camp with.

[Patler]

Perhaps TT was interested, but the players were not interested in coming to GB.

This is pure speculation, but IMO TT makes calls and the GM's often discuss figures with agents.

TT was very tight with his change early on and my gut tells me he was not willing to pay for any of the decent ones; money talks. I have a hard time believing we could not have signed a starter if we were offering the best contract. Sometimes it will take that to get a solid player to GB. Reality Bites.

CC claimed today that Green Bay offered more to Vinatieri than Indy did.

The reality is that money does not always talk, especially with players who have been smart with their money. Some know they are financially secure anyway and really do want a shot with a playoff contender. They will be paid well, regardless.

Most realize that GB is not a contender, and they are not just a player or two away. If they can be close to 8-8 with a young roster, then, maybe, they will again be attractive. For the time being, GB is probably a hard-sell.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Patler,

A large majority of the time... money talks.
