Packers Don Barclay: Who is This Guy?

Found December 04, 2012 on AllGreenBayPackers.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Don Barclay,  T.J. Lang,  Bryan Bulaga,  Herb Taylor,  Reggie Wells
TEAMS: Green Bay Packers
Packers Offensive Lineman Don Barclay After stepping in for an injured TJ Lang at right tackle in last week’s game against the Vikings, Packers rookie Don Barclay is suddenly the subject of many questions. Even before the Vikings game, there were calls by many to move Lang back to left guard and insert Barclay at right tackle (all without ever having seen Barclay play a single meaningful offensive snap in the NFL). Either these folks knew something we didn’t, or blind luck shall be given the credit, as Barclay stepped in and did an adequate job. Adequate meaning he didn’t do anything fantastic, but he also didn’t do anything horrible. For his first game ever, a solid performance. For some fans, this is enough to anoint Barclay the Packers starting right tackle for the rest of the season in place of TJ Lang, there in place of Bryan Bulaga. And so the questions start… Packers fans have a seemingly endless unquenched thirst for information about every guy in a Green & Gold uniform ...

Via Fox Sports Wisconsin  |  December 02, 2012
GREEN BAY, Wis. Jermichael Finley is tired of getting in trouble for comments made in the media.

Packers atop division after 23-14 win over Vikes

Via AP on Fox  |  December 03, 2012
The Green Bay Packers are back atop the NFC North, and they have a very unlikely source to thank. Minutes after the Packers wrapped up their 23-14 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon, Seattle beat Chicago in overtime to drop the Bears back into a tie with Green Bay for the division lead. Yes, that would be the same Seattle team that stole a win from the Packers...

Muy Frio: Aaron Rodgers

Via Juan Elway  |  December 03, 2012
I drafted me first too Juan… In most fantasy leagues, Aaron Rodgers was the first QB taken and quite possibly the #1 overall pick. He started the year slowly as teams adjusted to the Packers pass attack, but then in a 6 week span he scored 24 or more points 5 out of 6 games. Rodgers is back in a funk with 3 straight games of 15 fantasy points or less. Of course if you are riding...

Green Bay Packers Anti-Power Rankings – Week 14

Via PackersTakes  |  December 04, 2012
Anti-Power Rankings: The opposite of power rankings – an update of the player list that takes into account crappy play meshed with overall fan criticism (i.e. Ahmad Carroll #1 All-Time). As predicted, the Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson ran all over the Green Bay Packers, but the Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder handed the game away.  The other great things...

Barclay Provides Lift and Options for O-Line

Via gnb.scout.com  |  December 02, 2012
Not only was rookie free agent Don Barclay not a liability when he replaced T.J. Lang at right tackle, his rock-solid performance helped get Green Bay’s running game jump-started and kept quarterback Aaron Rodgers mostly upright.

Packers find Ponder is Vikings' weakest link

Via Fox Sports Wisconsin  |  December 02, 2012
GREEN BAY, Wis. Assessing the Packers' defensive performance in their 23-14 win over the Minnesota Vikings depends greatly on how a team values each statistical category. Allowing 210 rushing yards to Adrian Peterson is about as bad as it gets, but with that production being coupled with only 119 passing yards, while giving up just 14 points and forcing two key interceptions...
