All is well. The Packers just signed Kenny Pettaway viia Jacksonville and Houston. Seventh rounder by Houston in 2005 from Grambling State. 6’3″ 248 pounds. Sounds more like a KGB than a CJ. Let’s hope he’s not one of Del Rio’s thugs.

Maybe 3-4 is being talked about.

I agree, except for the Bears bit. They are not a good football team, and lucked into their win against Philly.

Can’t disagree with anything said, Steve. Suddenly those wonderful TT drafts are not looking so good. The third, fourth, and fifth round O Line draft choices are looking like exactly what they were, development projects optimistically. The new next great gaurd, Sitton has been injured all year. Of course, the last great offensive guard, College, is pathetic and can’t play the position.

As far as the Tampa Bay game goes, Rodgers didn’t have a chance. I went back and reviewed the game on the DVR. After replaying many of the critical plays (I have no life) something poped. For the entire second half they played two tight ends and held them for blocking. Only two receivers were out in patterns. The front five, including Taucher and Clifton had colapsed in the first half. No problem, MM is working on their pad levels.

Don’t get me wrong, I respect MM as a coach. I do think he really understands the extent of his problems and is doing his best to get the O and D Line problems fixed. Unfortunately, he may not have the raw material available to make a quality product.

This problem started in the Giant game last year. I was affraid, especially after the pre-season, that other NFL teams learned that lesson. Childress and Mangini were apparently too dumb to see the weakness and didn’t take advantage of it. After Dallas and Tampa Bay no one else will miss the two large holes, otherwise known as the O Line and the D Line.

This could get ugly! I’m pulling for you MM it’s time to kick some butt.
