The Packer offensive line has been more than a SIEVE this year giving up 20 QB sacks in 4 games. A blocking sled would be more effective.
Anyway they resigned Mark Tauscher (last year's right tackle and THE Packer right tackle for 9 years) to a one year contract. He is coming off an ACL surgery. He also had the other knee done a couple of years ago. Before he was signed by the Pack Kansas City Chiefs gave him a try out. They passed. Packers are the winners?????
Who do I blame ----OL coach James Campen. Or the Vikings or Bears ---whatever is easier.
Actually the coaching staff and GM made stupid decisions. To protect a 2nd year QB they went with 4 new people on the offensive line--only left tackle Chad Cliffton (with NO experienced LT reserve) returning. And they expected a O-line coach with 3 years coaching experience to gel this line. The O-line coach was hired 2 years ago by --guess who? --the Packers. That's right his very FIRST COACHING job. The average NFL O-line coach has 24 years of coaching experience. WTF.
A rant ---YES!!!! I' going to be hard pressed to justify 3 hours per Sunday viewing a quagmire of coaching ineptitude.
BTW Tauscher is a great dude. He grew up on a dairy farm in Auborndale Wisconsin just 1 hour drive north of my farm. A class act, a baby face humble dude. A rare item among Pro athletes.
