Local 790 radio-sports talk show guy Greg Kock, who's a former GB Packers Hall-Of-Fame offensive tackle, says that Newton got the starting job by default since Butler is so bad, and he has even an even lower evaluation of the play of starting RG Caldwell. This thing with the OLine is likely to bite us in the azz this year.
Trade deadline is into October, right ? Since we are stuck with Foster and his fat contract, do we now think about shopping Tate or another marketable player
to help our OLine or roll the dice with what we've got ?

Wow. We should have gotten rid of Foster to keep Mike Brisel and Eric Winston?
You think two cement shoed OL are irreplaceable and Arian Foster is a "system guy"?
You think Tate/Forsett are going to give our passing offense 700+ yards and multiple long passing TDs?
I don't know what dime store you shop at, but if they have RBs like Foster by the dozen I wonder why the other 31 NFL teams aren't there.
