Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 618755">Consider:(1) McCarthy recently stated this may be the best group of backup O-Linemen he's had in Green Bay.(2) Thompson did not turn to a free agency when injuries struck in the past to a weaker starting group.When Thompson signed Howard Green and McCarthy put him on the field a few days later, the Packers would otherwise have had only 3 healthy D-Linemen on the roster.The injury situation would have to become dire for Thompson to go outside.Keep in mind this past game was Barclay's first game action in about a 1 1/2 years.  Rust should be expected.  Getting accustomed to full-on contact, even without a injury, takes some time.  Assuming the knee is reasonably sound, which we're being told it is, I suspect that Barclay will get it together by opening day...for his lead backup job and his next contract.</blockquote>
