He was garbage, but he wasn’t a complete disaster. He didn’t exactly fold in the 2nd half. He didn’t give up 5 or 6 sacks like he could have, I guess. I think this is the important game for Barbre. Can learn from his mistakes, help the team and make a career for himself?

Keep Tausch in your back pocket for the bye week like weldon says

Aaron Rodgers took too many hits Sunday night. It wasn’t long ago that many of us wondered whether or not he could make it through an entire season. He proved that he could last year. I guarantee that he will not last long if he has to run for his life every week like he did last Sunday night. It wasn’t just Barbre who struggled, although he seemed to be the obvious player for us to pick on. Rodgers got hit from all over the place.

As for Tauscher, I don’t see him coming back. I like him as much as any other Packer fan. Sadly, there must be another way to address the problem. I think Barbre will be fine given time as you said. Perhaps the Packers might need to keep an extra player back to help protect Rodgers on passing downs. I’m not sure how effective that will be given Rodgers penchant for running out of the pocket. I’m sure my suggestion probably falls somewhere in the “duh” category, but I honestly don’t know what else to say except that Tauscher is not likely to come back as much as I like the guy.

Against a team that has one of the better defenses, even if they’ve taken a few dings the last few years. Let him play the next two games and see how he does before going into full-out “sound the klaxon” mode. Not only does it regress a player’s development (perhaps Barbre was just having an off night, like 75% of the offense), but artificially shaking up the Offensive Line is just asking for more problems.

Eagles placed RT Shawn Andrews (back) on injured reserve, ending his season.
It’s a big blow to the Eagles’ offense. When healthy and motivated, Andrews is one of the best linemen around. Now they’ll have to go with Winston Justice at right tackle, who is much-improved but will still need backs and tight ends to chip for him. Jon Runyan is still available and could be an Eagle before long

too early to dump Barbre, but ….

But is it worth possibly getting Rogers hurt when he just stands there as a DE whips around him?

Give him a chance—as a backup. He needs practice, not game-day nightmares.

The Pack need to bring in a tackle. Badly.

The way Allen Barbre played Sunday, I think Mark Tauscher with only one leg (and his arms tied behind his back) would be a significant upgrade.

Maybe i missed it, but was there anything in his previous 2 years that gave people the idea that he would be a suitable replacement? The only thing i can say for him is that he looked better than Giacomini in the preseason.

Giving him help means spotting the other team a back or an end. The Packers aren’t so good that they can afford to do that. Yes, in the short term that’s what you need to do to prevent the QB & backs from getting killed. Barbre needs to do his job or go away.

The O-Line has stunk it up for a few seasons now and it needs to be fixed asap. I’m never one to go crazy about one game and I do hope Barbre comes back strong, but based on that performance and his history, it’s hard to have faith in him.

He was basically given the LG job over Colledge last off-season and Colledge beat him out easily. Colledge is an average starter. This year he was given the RT job with basically no legitimate competition. He comes out in the first pre-season game and sucks it up.

When I guy has so much athleticism and explosion like Barbre (he was a gunner on kickoffs and punts in college as a LT) you’d think he would have shown something and he hasn’t. A lot of times guys like that always rely on their athleticism and they never become good. We will see…

Tauscher is sitting in Madison and has been working out hard all summer and is ready now. Thompson told him he was OK with the young guys so he and Tausch went seperate ways about 3 weeks ago. The knee is good and his weight is right on. The poor guy went to the US Open this weekend so he wouldn’t have to suffer through watching “HIS” team play without him. He bleeds green and gold. I suppose he should call his good friend Daryl Bevell back and think about joining Brett in Minnesota. That would kill us!

His name was Walter Payton. The TV show was called Peyton Place. Get it right.

Sorry, but I can’t jump on the kill Barbre now bandwagon. One game does not a career make.

Though I will say, that November 25th, 1994, the fans should have been listened to, and the rookie left tackle that nearly got Troy Aikman killed should have been cut. Then no one would have had to face Larry Allen again.

You guys remember the game, a one armed Reggie White tossing Allen at Aikman like a rag doll. If coaches had done the smart thing (according to fans) the rookie would have been run out of town on a rail. And 9 Pro-Bowl seasons lost.
