I'm watching some of it now. He's playing RG, and I still think he would have a chance to beat out Proctor.

Does he just look average at run blocking and pass blocking? Or is he better than one or the other?

Preston would be an upgrade over Proctor, and he can play virtually every position on the OL. He also have quite a bit of starting experience during his time with the Bills. I would be all for this.

You can't even spell Procter's name right? And you don't like Cheerleaders?

Credibility = -25,000.

Has Anthony Hopkins cleared waivers, yet?

What about Peter Criss or Tommy Lee?

He only played in the second half. Started out at RG and then in the middle of the fourth qtr he moved to center. So understand the competition might not have been that good. But he played about as solid as you could expect from a OL. He wasn't dominant but I couldn't find a play where he was the one who screwed the play up.

Once when the Packers were at the Bills 10 the NT got a good angle on him at center and was getting in the backfield but the FB took care of the guy and the qb got the ball off. He looked equally solid in pass blocking and run blocking. I think the fact that he went to camp with the Packers might have helped him because they seem like a well coached group.

Yeah, looking at camp rosters, there are two teams whose 'leftovers' I'd be after, Green Bay and New England.

In fact, I think the Patriots just dealt one of their reserve linemen?

Green Bay had one of the worst defenses and offensive lines in the NFL last year. What "left-overs" would you want from that team?

While the had some growing pains last season starting several rookies, I think their offensive line is well-stocked with young talent.

I'd gladly take Giacomini, Moll, or Barbre over the kid from Mask.

I would add Baltimore to the top of that list. The Ravens run a similar power blocking scheme as the Cowboys. They look for the same type of players that the Cowboys do.

you can have Tony Moll right now. The light has not gone on for him. The thing about the Packers line is they can play all over. Spitz won the center job but if something happens to the guards, he can move over and Wells can come in. If something happens to Clifton, College can move over.

The Packers love TJ Lang, Sitton, and Breno. They do have quite a bit of depth this year.

Reports are that there have been a ton of scouts at the games wanting to get some of the Packers depth. They are loaded at WR, LB and DB and since they went to the 3-4, 6 defensive linemen is al they will neeed and they are set there even if Harrell can't play.

The only positions available for the Packers is punter and maybe backup QB if Flynns shoulder keeps aching.

Gonna be a fun year.....

I have no issue with going after some O-Line depth. We couldn't do much worse than the depth we appear to have right now.

Looks like we're bring Preston in for a look this evening.

Might this spell the end for Free Reign?

I'm coming a bit late to this party, but am I the only one who finds Green Bay fans adorable?
