While I do believe their OL from LG to RT is as solid as solid can be, the most important spot on the OL, particularly for a team that emphasizes the passing game as heavily as the Packers do, is LT. Again I’ll quote what McGinn wrote at the end of the season about Newhouse. And I do so not only because I respect McGinn a great deal but because it describes what I saw as well.He didn’t start all the games yet allowed twice as many pressures as anyone else and more than any Packers OL since the late 1990s. Like McGinn I think Newhouse is smart and has good feet, but he has to improve significantly to solidify the OL and rank it in the top 10 in the league (let alone #1). I think Newhouse has a good chance to make strides because although he was on the team in 2010, last season was the first one in which he played. Of course I’d love for the author to be right and I understand he is looking forward but even so, the question mark at LT is too big for me to come close to agreeing with him. </blockquote>
