There are all kinds of totally awesome stories coming out of the NFL scouting combine, so let’s get right to it.

Four Year-One Starting Caliber Tackles in 2010 NFL Draft
Feb 10th
The Green Bay Packers are certainly in the market for tackles this offseason. Both 2009 starters, Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher, are free agents.

Most of Packers Offensive Line Under Scrutiny This Offseason
Jan 29th
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.

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 [...]
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 [...]
Packers Season Goes Into Toilet With Loss to Bucs
Nov 8th
It’s hard to imagine anyone saw this coming, except for Steffen, who predicted the exact result this morning. The Green Bay Packers have done what was almost unthinkable in losing to the previously-winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 38-28. The story is the same that it’s been the entire season for the Packers – poor offensive line [...]

Injuries May Help Packers Find Their Real Offensive Line
Oct 28th
It’s been well documented. The Green Bay Packers have struggled on the offensive line this season. The Packers offensive linemen have given up an inordinate amount of sacks (25), committed far too many penalties and haven’t done much to help the struggling ground game. That is, until they played the Cleveland Browns last Sunday. The [...]
Chad Clifton: Cheater
Oct 22nd
Remember when Green Bay Packers left tackle Chad Clifton got called for two penalties for not lining up on the line of scrimmage against the Detroit Lions, last Sunday? Evidence suggests Clifton has done this before, and may have been doing it for a while. I’m sure the Packers, their fans and Clifton will take [...]
