[QUOTE="ExpatPacker, post: 475572, member: 5535"] As always, Bob McGinn has some very strong insights into the situation. [url]http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/barclay-could-help-fortify-packers-offensive-line-1h7rd68-181711651.html[/url] Some comments of his I definitely agree with: "[FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#444444]Barclay, on the other hand, represents the last best personnel move to improve the pass protection and the run game. Stymied by two-high safety shells for a month, the Packers will stay stymied unless they can protect and rush better."[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#444444]"What they're not doing is getting to the second level," one NFC personnel man said last week.
