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.--

It's about time they free'd FluffyTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

If one of the OT's gets hurt, Lang probably moves there. Not ideal, but he's played both positions in the past.Originally posted by Patler View PostI can't run no more

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......Originally posted by Joemailman View PostComment

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.Originally posted by Patler View PostBud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

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.Originally posted by pbmax View PostComment

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.Originally posted by Patler View PostComment

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.Comment

It was a good joke, especially by pbmax's standards.Originally posted by Maxie the Taxi View Post
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.Comment

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.Originally posted by Harlan Huckleby View Post
It's not like they had no other candidates to cut, Brandon Bostick."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

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.Originally posted by Patler View Post
Losing Barclay really hurt the online depth.Comment

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

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