Released by Rams he would give us a veteran guard as starter or backup.
Timmerman is an old mant with injury problems in recent times.
Hey....lets sigh Paul Hornung and Fuzzy Thurston...I hear they are available.
Timmerman is a right guard and Clifton was franchiased at one time I believe. I believe that makes it a little more difficult to move him??
Why not sign LG Dielman from SD, consider Davis from Arizona for RG as many are now projecting him there and make Colledge and Spitz earn their jobs this season while they continue to gain strength? That way we'd be able to scrap the Zno Blocking System and pound the ball down our opponents throats again and actually close out games we have won early in the 3rd Qtr.
So what you're saying is you'd rather TT mortgage next season on the backs of the rookie OL (like he did last year) instead of actually fixing the OL and moving forward as a playoff team??
He probably is on the down side of his career (Clifton). I just don't think that picking up someone's old throw away would be a good way to replace him now. Maybe i'm wrong and Timmerman can still go. Maybe he would be a good backup, if cheap enough.all about da packers said:Cheesey, Clifton looked below his usual standards last year. I've heard a lot about how his knees are breaking down, and I think that within the next couple of years we might need a replacement. That is my opinion though, but I do agree people like Clifton shouldn't be traded...
I'm not sure we need O-line depth. Berry is coming back, and Moll was outstanding filling in just about any role asked of him. Coston also was a candidate to start, so he has some ability as well. There are options already on the roster IMO.
I think the O-line came together pretty darn good towards the end of the season. They won't be "rookies" anymore, and should be pretty strong. The ONLY way to get them to be good together, was to PLAY them together. They did that, and should be in pretty good shape come this new season. They are all used to each other, and should be good as a unit for Brett and the running game.So what you're saying is you'd rather TT mortgage next season on the backs of the rookie OL (like he did last year) instead of actually fixing the OL and moving forward as a playoff team??

Once again another creative suggestion. The difference between you and other individuals who haven't supported TT that have been banned here is that you provide some alternatives and keep it cool. Thanks.
