    Use of the word 'era' is quite a stretch to be sure. Vet tackle? Well, McKinnie's floating around out there somewhere, isn't he? Ya, I don't see that happening.

      Maybe we can pull ole Kenny Ruettgers out of the classroom in a pinch? It's only been 20 years...

            Their roster has 3 guards, 3 centers and two tackles. Gerhart is a wasted roster spot with Tretter and Linsley healthy.
            If one of the OT's gets hurt, Lang probably moves there. Not ideal, but he's played both positions in the past.

              He seemed more suited as a younger player. As I recall, when Bulaga was hurt in 2012 Lang struggled out there until they went with Barclay when Lang, too, was dinged up late in the season. That's the real problem. If they lose a couple......

                Its a bit of odd timing both ways. Neither Lang (far removed from Tackle and currently injured) and Tretter (just coming off injury and maybe 2 weeks practice at Tackle since college) seem ready to jump in as backup.
                Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                  They have Vujnovich on PS. He had some shining moments in preseason, and some not so good moments. I could see them signing him and letting Gerhart go.

                    From my armchair, Gerhardt is a really bad player who hardly rates a practice squad spot, given his Fred Flintstone body. I agree that Packers will probably promote a tackle from somewhere.

                      It may be time to rate the Big Three. I go with:
                      1) Marshall "Marshmallow" Newhouse
                      2) Allen Barbre
                      3) Derek "Fluffy" Sherrod

                      Newhouse was able to occasionally get through entire games without breakdowns. He is starter (by injury) for Cincinnati.
                      Barbre could drive block, just couldn't handle speed rush. He's in 8th NFL season.
                      Sherrod - stumblebum, soft. God bless him if he makes it somewhere.

                      My rankings are based on selective memory.

                        It was a good joke, especially by pbmax's standards.

                        It is quite surprising that Sherrod got released. But they have been giving him some spot duty the last several games, I thought he looked bad. Packers must have concluded thatt Sherry is unplayable, like a scratched CD, so throw away.

                          He must've really been hopeless, even in practice, for them to cut him when there's no real other backup tackle on the roster.

                          It's not like they had no other candidates to cut, Brandon Bostick.

                            From what I remember, I saw more promise from Vujnovich in preseason than I did from Sherrod. Maybe my expectations were higher for Sherrod and lower for Vujnovich. I'm interested to see how Vujnovich looks next year in camp.

                            Losing Barclay really hurt the online depth.

                              I vaguely remember criticisms of his heart and desire when he was drafted.

                                Is having no backup tackles better than having a bad backup tackle? Let's hope we never have to find out.
