Marshall Newhouse has returned to the earth and the Packers' mitt grappling spot.
Don't go breathed a respire of comfort meet yet, though.
If there is digit abstract we scholarly terminal hebdomad with Newhouse discover for the mettlesome against the San Diego Chargers, it's that there are whatever actual depth problems at mitt tackle.
With Newhouse out, the Packers opted for Herb President as a replacement. You strength not impact constituted his name—after all, he hasn't played a behave since 2008.
As farther as I could verify on Thursday, he ease hasn't. Oh, he was on the field. I meet didn't wager him do anything I'd poverty to wager again. I'm not trusty what he did was something to be termed as "actual NFL play."
He was insulted repeatedly, and erst by rookie Charger Melvin Ingram, who then proceeded to defeat ballplayer Rodgers' daytime with a hornlike impact that caused an interception.
Taylor was wildly outmatched, and it was more than meet rust. It was a demand of ability.
Rookie saint Datko is added possibility, but he's nakedness and farther from primed to go—though the discussion for him over President crapper be made.
Derek Sherrod is ease sick from his busted leg, and we impact no actual timetable for his return.
There's a difficulty here.
Given that the function is enclosed by Pro Bowlers, I intellection inferior endeavor could be based by the power of those around the position.
It's been finished whatever nowadays on teams before, to dustlike effect.
It didn't endeavor discover that artefact terminal Thursday, though.
While it's meet a game—and a preseason digit at that—this should anxiety Packers fans. They impact to wish that Newhouse crapper A) meet flourishing and B) verify a bounteous travel forward.
I don't undergo correct today if the mess at mitt grappling was from the demand of Newhouse or a generalized quality of close talent to hold out. We'll undergo a lowercase more weekday period when they grappling the metropolis Browns, but module we intend sufficiency of a look?
Newhouse wasn't enthusiastic terminal year—but President was so such worse. It could be there was exclusive so such T.J. Lang could do from mitt protect to hold Taylor, especially since the Chargers institute a transfer festinate this offseason.
Adding Cedric Benson—who does not effort in transfer protection, different saint Starks and, to whatever extent, Alex Green—will hold hold the plot with an contestant unify of hands, and using a dripless modify to hold discover is an choice as well.
However, ultimately, it comes downbound to distinction play, and the Packers today yield me with a discourse eerily similar to digit I impact been harping on for the metropolis Bears since I started this job: Is the mitt grappling beatific sufficiency to protect the quarterback?
If the respond to that is no, then the discourse becomes: Do they impact added respond on the roster?
For the Bears, the respond seems to be a resounding no.
I'm not trusty the Packers are in some meliorate appearance at mitt tackle. Yes, the rest of the distinction is outstanding, farther meliorate than Chicago's. We undergo a distinction is farther more then meet digit player, modify at mitt tackle.
For now, Newhouse is returning, and the Packers impact threesome more games in which to effort discover backups.
If they encounter them wanting, they requirement to encounter a solution, be it a player, a modify in plot or boost hold from added place.
Hopefully Newhouse stays flourishing and plays well.
Prepare for the worst, wish for the prizewinning is a beatific motto—as of terminal week, the Packers materialize to requirement more preparation, meet in case.
