[QUOTE="TJV, post: 616968, member: 4300"] We disagree about Tolzien. I’m comfortable with him as the backup and more important they were comfortable enough to let Flynn go. He's got the physical ability and I'm confident his work ethic has improved the mental side of his game. Barclay did take part in some of the OTA activities in May. Neither are sure things but I think it’s reasonable to expect Barclay to be fully recovered to start TC and I consider him an adequate backup. We also disagree about Tretter. He doesn’t have experience but they had enough confidence in him to start him at OC last year and he looked OK in preseason IMO. He should be able to expand his role as backup to more than just OC. I think Kuhn’s increased snaps had a lot to do with the lack of effective blocking from the TE position (of course I agree with the lack of depth at TE), but Kuhn did OK as lead blocker. But the more that is his role and less it is to “protect and check down in third-and-long situations” (from McGinn’s season ending review) and STs, the more I’d like to see Ripkowski take over at FB. But my job doesn’t depend upon him being nearly error free when the season starts. As for the reasons for the lack of depth, I agree about 2012-2012 “hole”. I’d note that 2011 4th rounder House turned out to be a good pick but that doesn’t do the Packers any good now (except re: comp picks). Thompson missed completely on Sherrod in the first round (due at least in part to injury) in 2011 and IMO his obvious need-picking six straight defenders in 2012 came back to bite him and the Packers.
