[...] hard to get inside Ted Thompson’s head, but he suggested last week the Packers may not take a tackle at all and they certainly won’t reach to select one. Unless the Packers have seen something [...]

[...] he does, it’s not going to be for someone spectacular. Thompson has already said the Packers aren’t likely to draft a tackle this year — one of their most needed positions. So the only players I could see him trading [...]

I don’t know exactly what to think about TT. I do know that he is just average and should be questioned about some of his his picks, for example justin Harrell. I do know that his ideas are sound and i like his intentions to build in the draft but this needs to be done with players who will make an impact, agian justin harrell. When he misses on a draft pick he should do something to compensate for that miss pick. With other north team arming themselves with pass rushers maybe it is a good idea to take a strong consideration at the o-line.

I agree that Thompson should not hole himself into drafting a tackle. I think the believes Taucsher, Clifton, and Lang can hold the fort this season.

Sure Thompson has a ton of experience running a football team and should get the benefit of the doubt because he spends 60+ hours a week looking at film. But that doesn’t mean he should get a free pass or that others can’t know something about what’s going on with the Packers at the tackle position. Al Davis has more experience than TT and look at him. Maybe Thompson hasn’t spent enough time looking at the Tackle position. The career achievements of Barbre, Moll, and Giacomini certainly don’t argue otherwise.

I know one thing for sure. I wouldn’t put any stock into what TT hints he will do. He never going to tip his hand.

I think TT and the members of the Packers coaching staff know alot more about the status of our o-line, they quality of players we have, and football in general, than you, me, or anyone reading this for that matter. You need to relax and quit trying to make sense of something you know very little about. There is a reason TT and crew are in the positions they are in, and you get to do nothing but comment on it. It’s ok to disagree, but realize you are speaking from a position of ignorance, and know next to nothing about how to run a football organization.

If TT were to leave, another team would happily swoop him up in a heartbeat, and we would most likely be stuck with someone with alot less experience.

With that being said, TT will no doubt pick a tackle if there is one available that could truly help our team, otherwise I’m happy knowing that he wont waste a pick on a still unproven player, just to say he picked a tackle.

In your circle of friends you might know something about football relative to these people, but when it comes to truly knowing what it takes to run a successful football organization, you know next to nil.
