Sherrod and Bulaga: Consistency > Flexibility
When Mike McCarthy introduced his zone blocking scheme back in 2006, he touted interchangeability and competition would create a solid offensive line. Five years later, we’ve seen top-notch quality players and flexibility don’t necessarily go hand-in-hand.
All Quiet On The Tauscher Front
Reports have said the Packers are releasing Nick Barnett, Brandon Chillar, Justin Harrell and Brady Poppinga, but nothing has been said about Mark Tauscher, as of yet.
Point of Veau: Retirement Remains Possibility For Tauscher
Veteran offensive lineman Mark Tauscher has the option to go out on top with a retirement and a Super Bowl ring to go along with it.
Packers Sign Havner; Tauscher To IR
The Packers have re-signed tight end Spencer Havner and put tackle Mark Tauscher on Injured Reserve.
Why Tauscher Is Not A Lock To Start
Mark Tauscher is getting paid starter money. There’s still a very small, outside chance he won’t be the starter when the season kicks off.
Tauscher Back In the Fold
The band is back together again.
From Jason Wilde over at ESPNMilwaukee.com:
One day after doling out contract extensions to safety Nick Collins and Ryan Pickett, and one week after bringing back veteran left tackle Chad Clifton, the Packers agreed to terms on a two-year deal with veteran right tackle Mark Tauscher Saturday, an NFL source said.
Tauscher Next In Line?
That’s the word from Mike McCarthy via our good friend Brian Carriveau from Railbird Central.
I know Packers fans (and Jason Wilde) have been clamoring for Tauscher to be resigned and I recognize what he meant to the offense last year – he basically came in and saved not only the offense, but the season.
Should The Future Be Now At Right Tackle?
Anyone who observers the game of football with any regularity could see that Mark Tauscher was struggling out on the edge in pass protection yesterday. And he didn’t offer much in the run game either. It will be interesting to see if the Packers start working T.J. Lang back into a rotation with Tausch. Look, [...]
Tauscher Works Out For Packers
Like the title says, from Jason Wilde over at ESPNMilwaukee.com: …former Packers right tackle Mark Tauscher worked out for the team earlier today and is in town, according to an NFL source. This is in-line with what Thompson said this offseason, about Tausch probably being ready by October. It will be interesting, if Tauscher is [...]
Packers Keeping Door Open On Tauscher
Interesting tidbit from Ted Thompson in his Q&A with Mike Vandermause: Q: Why did you decide not to bring back Mark Tauscher? Thompson: Mark Tauscher had an ACL injury obviously. When he’s going to be able to come back is a little bit up in the air. I had a chat with Mark last week. [...]
Right Tackle Issue Growing…
I characterized the lack of an obvious starting right tackle as the ‘silent problem’ back in early February. Well, that problem is starting to make a tiny bit of noise. From Pro Football Weekly’s ‘Whispers’ section comes the following: With the Packers thinking Mark Tauscher probably won’t be ready to play again until the 2009 halfway point following [...]
Who\’s Fooling Whom?
Tauscher’s version: “There’s been some communication,” Tauscher said during his weekly appearance with Steve “The Homer” True on WTLX (100.5 FM). “We’re trying to get some stuff figured out. We’ll see how it all plays out.” Thompson’s version: Thompson said there has been no contract talk between the Packers and Tauscher, and said there likely [...]
Right Tackle: The Silent Problem
Almost everything written about the Packers over the course of the past month has been focused on the defense, and for good reason. But the silent problem for Ted Thompson, and it’s not a small one, is the right tackle position on the offensive line. After Mark Tauscher went down, a lot of pundits speculated [...]
Congrats To Mark Tauscher
In a NFL media landscape that chooses to focus large amounts of time to a small group of players making trouble off the field, we here at Cheesehead TV would like to draw what minimal focus we can provide to Packer tackle Mark Tauscher’s winning the Packers’ 2008 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year [...]
Is Tauscher Slipping?
It’s only been two games, but the play of Mark Tauscher should not be ignored. Put plainly – he isn’t playing very well. Going up against journeymen Ray Edwards and Jared DeVries, Tauscher has allowed a shocking amount of pressure off the right side, getting beat several times by both Edwards and DeVries on speed [...]
And lo, it came to pass…
Here’s where I pat myself on the back. Bubba Franks a key to the offense? Check. Mark Tauscher blanking Kerney? Check. Tramon Williams playing well? Check.
Tauscher Gets Some MMQB Love
Peter King has named Mark Tauscher one of his ‘Offensive Players of the Week’. Sometimes, King gets it right, which he does here by noting the job Tausch did against Patrick Kerney, who was a total non-factor for almost the entire game. And my first thought heading into next week is how Tauscher will be [...]
Kerney – Home vs Away
Patrick Kerney is getting all sorts of press after an outstanding regular season, and more importantly, just a dominate performance against the Washington Redskins. But the way people are carrying on, you’d think he was the second coming of Deacon Jones. Let’s all just slow down a little bit, shall we? First of all, the [...]
