  • Sherry era ends


  • #2
    I can't run no more
    With that lawless crowd
    While the killers in high places
    Say their prayers out loud
    But they've summoned, they've summoned up
    A thundercloud
    They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

      I wouldn't be surprised if Sherry becomes a player for another team, a la Breno Giacomini.

      Fire Campen.

        Wow...
        Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

          I'm actually surprised by this given the lack of depth on the OL. They must be pretty sure Lang will be okay.

            Tretter can slide over to guard and also plays center. Might even do better at tackle than Sherrod in a pinch.

              Except he has spent zero time at tackle as a pro. He must have looked good there the last two weeks of practice.

              I will miss Derek's first round measurables.
              Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                Packer Report ‏@PackerReport 9m9 minutes ago
                Just talked to a scout about GB's 2011 draft. YEah, it's bad he said but that draft is proving to be bad in general. Sounds like homework.

                They still have Cobb and House. So it is a tire fire, but its burning around a very nice car and truck.

                  I don't understand. Measurables?
                  One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

                    Height, weight, hand size, speed, vertical leap, broad jump, shuttle run, etc. All the combine and Pro Day stuff.

                      Do you think it's a case of measurables not translating to performance on the field? Or do you think the injury did him in?

                        The injury hurt and it hurt just as we have seen Bulaga struggling on the road, when he cannot get a good enough kick-step (first step for tackle pass blocking) to get in front of the onrushing DE/OLB. It hurt Sherrod doubly because the one thing he seemed to be able to do early was latch on to large men and not let them go. But even he had to catch them first. And in his rookie year, prior to his injury, he seemed like he could do this. He had good feet and great size.

                        But he was nowhere near a drive blocker, lacked functional lower body strength and didn't deliver much of a punch. I don't remember it pre-injury, but this year he seemed to play top heavy and tall. A dreaded waist bender they say.

                        So his measurables meant he should have been able to do it, but he already had several areas to work on when the injury seemed to rob him of the one thing he could do well. So to answer your question; both problems did him in.

                          They need to sign a tackle, even if an RT only type guy.
                          Their roster has 3 guards, 3 centers and two tackles. Gerhart is a wasted roster spot with Tretter and Linsley healthy.

                            Hope they can sign a vet from somewhere. Kind of late in the year to fool around with another undrafted FA.
