And the PackerRat gameball goes to.......

Newhouse is fine. He gets destroyed by the best of the best. . . . . He's young, improving. . . . . He'll get us through.

what, me worry?

[Harlan Huckleby]

HH, he did not get destroyed by JPP or Allen... He is still learning and improving, not great but good enough right now.

what, me worry?

Thanks for proving my point

the point about newhouse being fine, and newhouse not geting destroyed by Allen & Pierre-Paul? Check.

the guy who said 'fine' said he gets destroyed by the best of the best. The guy who said he didn't get destroyed by Allen and P-P said he's not great but good enough. Those aren't ringing endorsements if you didn't get it. And that's the best you can come up with. Again, who thinks it's not a problem? maybe one guy? Keep proving my point. Your over-the-top rhetoric isn't convincing.

He's not good enough, he's a real problem, as McGinn pointed out, and head-in-sanders avoid facing. And he did get destroyed in those two games.

Harlan, did you get a good look at Sherrod versus Newhouse? What did you think? We were partying at the house during the game, so I haven't looked closely at the film. We should compare notes. Don't worry - even if you agree with me, I will still hate you.

McGinn had Sherrod on his butt one play and losing a guy inside one other time, but otherwise held up OK with some help sent his way with Wimbley across from him.

Newhouse tries to steer his guys around the back end of the QB on pass plays, and he gets messed up when DE's change direction in mid-rush. Newhouse seems to lack the killer part - when he thinks the QB is safe, he kind of lets up, which has cost Arod some yards from time to time when he's scrambling. Newhouse needs to learn to keep after his guy, and if his guy falls down, Newhouse needs to fall on top of him.

I had no take on Sherrod, I sorta lost interest in the game about the time he got in. I was very happy to see him in the game, though, he really looks like an LT with his height & wingspan & enormous head.

I've been happy with Newhouse through most of season, hoped he would hold job over Cliffy, who is over-the-hill. But the two bad games really changed my mind, I have hunch packers will see giants in playoffs. Cliffy is best option, and I suspect MM was wondering if Sherrod might be second best option.

I really really hope Sherrod is better than Newhouse as that would make the line better overall. I am all for an upgrade and as I have said before do not expect to see Newhouse as the starter next year. If Sherrod overtakes him in time for the playoffs that is even better. Newhouse is still an average starting LT.

There can be no doubt Stubby is figuring out which guy will be his second, assuming Clifton is ready by Divisional weekend. Newhouse could go from starting to being a game day inactive if Sherrod outplays him the final three games.
