Perry...Wothy...JS...McGinn....Needs Improvement

[Rutnstrut]

I only skimmed thru the game, but what stood out to me most was the disaster we have at both OT spots. They were nothing short of awful.

I liked Taylor's feet, positioning, and technique in general, but he has exactly 0 horsepower. I think he would be a keeper for the practice squad and give him a year in an NFL strength program, but as of now?? if he's on the field, Rodgers is a dead man.

Datko was much worse - based on that performance, I don't see how he can even have a shot to make the team. He was slow footed, couldn't redirect, and was, like Taylor, severely underpowered.

Ted's going to have to do something to get some servicable T's in here, or Rodgers is going to end up on IR.

TT has always ignored the O line, what makes you think he will do anything but piece work it now?

Especially when he drafted tackles in the first round two years in a row! #ttsux

Well, the report on Sherrod's injury was that there was no nerve damage, so it's not career threatening (except insofar as it costs him development time), and if we can get back the player he was in that KC game before breaking his leg, he's absolutely a serviceable NFL OT.

I agree. He showed some promise. Comparing him to Bulaga seems unfair. Bulaga was considered more NFL ready anyway, then Sherrod had the additional setback that he couldn't develop at all last offseason due to the lockout. I'm willing to give the kid a chance, but it is unfortunate his injury is setting back his career now.

Ya, using first round picks in consecutive years for O-linemen and getting another this year with his first significant FA signing in years; TT just doesn't give the position group any attention at all.

15 O-linemen drafted in 8 drafts.

Jesus Fucking Christ you buncha' pussies.

You sound like a bunch of old fishwives.

It's the first preseason game so relax and let's see how shit plays out.

I think, Sherrod, assuming he's at least the player he was last year, would be, right now, a better option at OT than Herb Taylor or Ryan Datko. Which is what leads me to not want to panic about the trainwreck at LT against San Diego, since we were down our top two options. I think most teams down their top two options at LT would struggle.

No doubt. Could you ever imagine a team with two NFL calber starting LTs on the bench? Their phones would be ringing off the hook for trades.

But, George......How on earth and I going to know if the sky is falling if the collection of chicken littles doesn't tell me?

I don't expect we'll be getting any more help - TT may have invested some high picks in the OL, but he and McCarthy have always like to play musical chairs with the OL. As a result, I think it's fair to say the OL thru TT/M3's tenure has been dysfunctional. They've tighted it up the last couple of years, but a leopard doesn't change his spots - usually.

Sherrod being a bust really hurts... I have no hope he'll be a player.

Based on what? He hasn't played more than a couple dozen snaps in a regular season game.

No shit.

BTW -- I feel A LOT differently about Perry now than I do before the preseason game. I can "visualize" his game now... and I like it! Bull rushin', edge-holdin' extraordinaire. I'm gonna say 8 sacks on the year if he stays healthy.

I'm with ya, Mish. The kid is a bull.

He's an adventure in cover, but 'ol Kevin will get him goin' eventually.

First highlight is Perry bull-rushing and just plain over-powering the Chargers starting right tackle. Impressive.

[Fritz]

I blame Dave Redding for the entire mess.
