Several Players Could Be Traded

Jarrett Bush

Several members of the Green Bay Packers could be playing to impress other teams tonight. The Packers need to trim their roster by 22 players on Saturday, but it seems increasingly likely the team could make a trade. Some of the players who could potentially be on the move include tackle Breno Giacomini, guard/center Evan [...]

Packers Veterans Who May Be In Trouble

Quinn Johnson

At the end of every summer, the Green Bay Packers end up cutting a couple veteran players whose release comes as a surprise. Last year, it was receiver Ruvell Martin and safety Anthony Smith. Here’s a list of several players who could potentially be on that list this year. Justin Harrell, defensive tackle — The [...]

A Look At The Packers Depth Chart

Donald Lee

The Green Bay Packers have released their first depth chart, which gives us a good idea of who is and who isn’t performing well. It also sheds some light on who is playing where. On the offensive side of the ball there aren’t any big surprises. Most notable is that Donald Lee has regained the [...]

Packers Throw Bulaga In Mix At Left Guard

Bryan Bulaga

Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy is nothing if not consistent. Every year, he speaks of the importance of continuity along the offensive line and then shuffles guys all over the place once training camp starts in order to assure there will be no continuity. True to form, the Packers moved first-round draft choice Bryan [...]

Colledge Has Inside Track At Left Guard

Daryn Colledge

Despite his terrible 2009 season, Green Bay Packers left guard Daryn Colledge appears to have the inside track on the left guard spot he was supposed to compete with Jason Spitz for. As much as anything, the situation seems to be a symptom of the coaching staff shuffling Spitz between multiple positions, which is something [...]

Newhouse Could Spell The End For Colledge Or Spitz

Marshall Newhouse

I can’t say I was overly impressed with the selection of TCU’s Marshall Newhouse, who the Green Bay Packers selected with their second fifth-round pick in this year’s NFL Draft. Newhouse played left tackle in college, but projects as a guard in the NFL. With Josh Sitton entrenched at right guard, Jason Spitz and Daryn [...]

Packers Add Tight End, Guard In The Fifth Round

Andrew Quarless

The Green Bay Packers defied logic again in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. Packers’ GM Ted Thompson chose Penn State tight end Andrew Quarless with the team’s first fifth-round pick (No. 154), even though the team is solid, one-though-three, on the tight end depth chart with Jermichael Finley, Donald Lee and Spencer Havner. [...]

Packers Offensive Line In Flux, Lang Still Doesn’t Have A Home

T.J. Lang

The Green Bay Packers have more than a few questions along the offensive line entering the season. One of them is where second-year man T.J. Lang will play. While most of us expect him to compete for and eventually take over the right tackle spot, Packers’ coach Mike McCarthy doesn’t necessarily agree. “There’s a difference [...]

Tauscher Deal Reportedly Close

Mark Tauscher

Word out of Green Bay is the Packers are close to a deal to resign veteran right tackle Mark Tauscher. “I feel Mark Tauscher is definitely not too far away, and hopefully we’ll have some news for you there shortly, and no different with Ryan Pickett,” coach Mike McCarthy said. “We’re focused on bringing our [...]

Most of Packers Offensive Line Under Scrutiny This Offseason

Packers offensive line

With the way the Green Bay Packers offensive line performed during the 2009 season, it shouldn’t come as any surprise that three of the five spots are likely to be in flux this offseason. Chad Clifton’s left tackle spot was a weakness for most of the season and right tackle was a major problem until [...]

Yesterday, we took a look at five reasons not to be excited about the Green Bay Packers, making the argument that the team has major flaws that may haunt them down the stretch and into the playoffs. That said, we fully expect the Green Bay Packers to make the playoffs. However, this isn’t a team [...]

The Allen Barbre Experiment Has Officially Concluded

It looks like the days of Allen Barbre as a starting right tackle for the Green Bay Packers are officially and mercifully over. Barbre was replaced by recently-resigned veteran Mark Tauscher in the lineup last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Unfortunately, Tauscher went down with an injury shortly after halftime of the Bucs game. [...]

It Doesn’t Take Much to Get to Aaron Rodgers

Aaron Rodgers gets sacked - big surprise! Photo: Evan Siegle

Seriously. It doesn’t take much to get to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Of the league-leading 37 sacks the Packers have given up this season, only six have been recorded when opposing teams blitz. That’s only 16 percent. In other words, the recipe for shutting down the Packers offense is pretty simple – send [...]

Packers’ Offensive Line – Take Six

It’s no newsflash that the Green Bay Packers haven’t been able to protect quarterback Aaron Rodgers this season, even though you’ll be reading some form of the same story in all of Wisconsin’s local papers this week. Possibly the worst part about the Packers infuriating offensive line, or lack there of, is that they will [...]

Signs Point to Clifton and Tauscher at Tackle

After Aaron Rodgers was sacked six times against the Minnesota Vikings, it was no surprise to discover that the Green Bay Packers might be considering a change on the offensive line. That change now looks likely, with Mark Tauscher replacing Allen Barbre at right tackle and Chad Clifton replacing rookie T.J. Lang at left tackle. [...]

Offensive Line Shakeup May Be Coming for Packers

Mark Tauscher

Here’s some potentially exciting news from Green Bay. It appears a big change on the offensive line may be coming for the Green Bay Packers. The Green Bay Press-Gazette’s Rob Demovsky reports the coaching staff is leaving open the possibility of going with the veteran tackle combination of Mark Tauscher and Chad Clifton in this [...]

Mark Tauscher Deal is Done

Although reports on the terms of the contract aren’t available yet, Mark Tauscher is officially a member of the Green Bay Packers again. Tauscher’s signing was announced this morning. Tauscher worked out with the team last Tuesday and we knew a deal was imminent since then. Tauscher will have to work himself back into playing [...]

Packers Will Bring Back Mark Tauscher

One of the easy potential solutions to the Green Bay Packers’ woes along the offensive line seemed to be to bring veteran right tackle Mark Tauscher back – if and when he was fully recovered from the knee injury he suffered last season. Well, that appears to be the case. The Journal Sentinel is reporting [...]

Packers Fate Rests on Shoulders of Offensive Line

It’s become readily apparent once again after the Green Bay Packers loss to the Minnesota Vikings that the Packers’ fate this season rests largely on the shoulders of their offensive line. The line has been terrible this season. Terrible. So bad, in fact, that they’ve given up 20 sacks in four games – the most [...]

Chad Clifton Could Return This Week, Levi Jones Visits

That’s right, it’s Tuesday, and you know what that means at Total Packers – tackle-related news day! Yes, it’s that exciting day when we discuss what’s going on with the Green Bay Packers’ right and left tackle positions, and boy, have we got some humdingers for you this week! First, to left tackle where the [...]
