Packers Offensive Line: So, Who’s Right?
The Packers have made a major shift this off season along their offensive line. Pro Bowl right guard Josh Sitton, and former first-round pick Bryan Bulaga have moved to the left side of the offensive line. With Evan Dietrich-Smith firmly entrenched as the teams starting center, and T.J. Lang being the team’s right guard, that simply leaves one question. Who is the right tackle...
The Battle to be the Packers’ 6th Man on the Offensive Line
Will Don Barclay be the Packers sixth offensive lineman?
There has been a lot of news worth following on the Packers offensive line this offseason. Another storyline up front that should develop further once training camp heats up is who will “win” the sixth-man slot on the offensive line.
I put “win” in parentheses because, technically, if you’re the sixth man on the...
Could the Packers Start a Rookie on the Offensive Line?
Packers rookie offensive lineman J.C. Tretter
If I put the over/under on the number of rookies the Packers will have starting on the offensive line for the regular season opener at 0.5, would you take the over or the under?
What if I changed the season opener to week 10, but kept the over/under at 0.5?
If you believe some of the scuttle out of the Packers rookie mini-camp, recent...

Packers need Sherrod to live up to first-round potential
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- A 110 million quarterback needs to stay healthy. In order for that to happen, there has to be solid protection from the offensive line, with the left tackle playing the most important role in that.

2013 NFL Draft Preview: Ranking Packers Offensive Tackle Prospects
Texas A&M LT Luke Joeckel
Offensive tackle is one of the the deepest positions in the top-half of the first round. Texas A&M tackle Luke Joeckel is the No. 1 player on my draft board and looks like a lock to be selected in the top five.
One of the most humorous parts of the time leading up to draft day is when offensive linemen are forced to run the 40-yard dash. Terron Armstead...
Packers May Try OT Bryan Bulaga At Left Tackle
The Packers will spend the next six months deciding if they're better with Newhouse at left tackle, Bulaga at right tackle and Don Barclay backing up or Bulaga at left tackle, Barclay at right tackle and Newhouse backing up.
If Derek Sherrod is able to resume his career after a year's absence from a broken leg, the former first-round draft choice could improve enough to...
Sherrod ahead of Worthy on road back
INDIANAPOLIS -- Training camp is still five months away, but even that length of time likely won't be enough for Green Bay Packers defensive end Jerel Worthy.
Worthy, who tore his ACL in the final game of the regular season, underwent knee surgery in mid-January and has a long road to recovery.
"I think training camp is definitely going to be a stretch, just because of...

Analyzing the Packers' 2011 draft class
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Every NFL draft elicits immediate reaction to each pick. Questions arise about a player's fit, overall potential and ability to contribute early on. Getting an accurate answer, however, usually takes at least a couple years.

The Packers have made the decision to put Derek Sherrod on the reserve/physically unable to perform list, which ends his season.
