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.

The Allen Barbre Experiment Has Officially Concluded
Nov 14th
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. Barbre [...]
It Doesn’t Take Much to Get to Aaron Rodgers
Nov 12th
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 your [...]
Packers Offensive Line – Take Six
Nov 10th
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 [...]

Sep 15th
Or kick them while they’re down, as it were.
The Green Bay Packers offensive line was the major reason the Packers vaunted offense couldn’t move the ball on Sunday night, and that appears to be the focus going into this weekend’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
As we noted yesterday, the Packers gave up four sacks and [...]

They are, from left to right, Chad Clifton, Daryn Colledge, Jason Spitz, Josh Sitton, and Allen Barbre. Sptiz, Sitton and Barbre are all new starters at [...]

We know more about this year’s version of Green Bay Packers now that the team’s first mini-camp has concluded.

Big Offseason Continues with Duke Preston Signing
Mar 30th
Duke. Duke. Duke. Duke of…
Yes, the Green Bay Packers have been busy this offseason. Doing what? We’re not really sure.
However, they did make a splash (like the kind a pebble makes in the Pacific) late last week by signing former Buffalo Bills guard/center Duke Preston. Preston signed for two years.
This follows Ted Thompson’s other major [...]
Jarrett Bush – You’re Cut!

From the “I Got 99 Problems But a Bitch Ain’t One” file came this past Saturday night’s preseason loss (34-6) to the disgustingly bad (5-11 last year) San Francisco 49ers.
First, having witnessed this debacle first hand, I have to say, Jarrett Bush – you’re cut!
It seemed each time I looked up from my Miller Lite, [...]
