It's just as possible Tretter could've succeeded/excelled at C. I don't know of any reason why not; he appears to be a great athlete and player.
Now that Linsley is the King of Center, what do we do with Tretter?
"The great" $herrod.....now Globe Tretter to beat out BuckCherry.
quote:But if for some reason (Patriot Center Bryan)Stork hadn't wound up in New England, Bill Belichick explained in a conference call on Tuesday, it may have been Corey Linsley who was headed to Foxboro. Instead, Linsley landed with the Packers and is a key cog in the league's second-highest scoring offense. He has started all 11 Packers games to this point in the season."Linsley is a guy we were all over too out of Ohio State," Belichick said. "Obviously after we took Stork there in the fourth round, we weren't really planning on coming right back and taking another guy at the same position. But he was a guy that we spent a lot of time on and had a lot of interest in, too.
"He's done a good job for the Packers. Started all year, playing behind two very experienced players at guard, similar to Bryan's situation here."

I like Ron Wolf's quote. In our offense...
Linsley vs Wilfork should be quite the battle on Sunday
Youth & Nasty vs.... Age & Treachery
The Patriots and Packers enter Sunday as the NFLâs two highest-scoring offenses. And theyâre both doing it with rookies at center.
New Englandâs line has stabilized since the beginning of the season, in part because of the consistent play of rookie center Bryan Stork â a fourth-round pick out of Florida State. The Packers have enjoyed the same kind of consistency out of their fifth-round pick, center Corey Linsley of Ohio State.

Ugh, I don't like his chances one on one. Double team that big man.
I like the Packers

I love the sentence about this being the second year in a row a rookie became a starter the entire season. If Uncle Ted can't find another rookie OL to break through and start the entire season a third year he will finally verify in fact he is a BUST.
It is the second straight year a rookie starter on the offensive line has led the Packers in performance-based pay. In 2013, left tackle David Bakhtiari, a fourth-round pick, earned $256,882 in a bonus payment. He played in 99.7% of the snaps in 2013.
JC Tretter - Bubble guy 2015?
When I read H5's quote from Billy, it leads me to believe if he is skipping Linsley that he does not draft BPA
RatPack - wouldn't a current starter on the O-line need to get injured (badly) for another rookie to start the whole season?? I kinda like where the O-line is right now with BB, JS, CL, TJ and DB.
Why the dislike for Tretter ? I am sure the Packers will have a O-Line injury this year and we will get to see if Tretter is any good. Nice to have a back up on the team.
Amazing what a fluke season for Linzzzley will do to easily brainwashed folks.

Can I get that with extra 'Cheese, Rusty?

Why did you quote the post directly above you??
Don't we have Lang and Tretter as backups? If so, I don't see a TT OLine draft. Position of strength.
Perfect.
Don't we have Lang Lane, Barclay and Tretter as backups? If so, I don't see a TT OLine draft. Position of strength.
FIFY
I hate to be "that guy who knows someone who knows someone" but my neighbors son went to OSU with Linsley. He told me that Linsley told him how much he loves GB, how incredible the coaching is, and how close the OL is with one another.
...how incredible the coaching is....
He must have been talking about Solari. Or maybe he just doesn't know better!
Heckler, you're not a "guy who knows someone who knows someone".
You have "a source who is familiar with the situation"!
...how incredible the coaching is....

Is Cogbot the only coach? Is he even a coach?
He's so good he sprouted a Solari.
Holy ****. Love that kid.
Suddenly hungry for some pancakes.
Goallines' Momma brought in 5 flap jacks and GL said:
"momma take 2 of them flap jacks back because I gotta stay HUNGRY for the Linsley Tide !"
Does anyone still believe the horse **** they wrote about this fat POS?
Not sure why he's regressed so much. Maybe Olivia is blowing him too.
Maybe Olivia is "Not Cheating" with the entire team
You had to figure there was more to the story:
Linsley said hamstring is torn, but no surgery: "Which is even more frustrating, because that would be an easier fix."#Packers C Corey Linsley said he's had 2 severe injuries to hamstring. First happened in May, then reaggravated it in July.
Thanks for bumping. I was curious about Linsley's initial draft report, thinking it mentioned something about him NOT being a fit at guard. But didn't see anything, so maybe he can do it. He's guaranteed a spot on the team (as long as he's not on IR) but sure would be nice to have more versatility on the inside. Having a backup center that can't do anything else is pretty limiting.
Quote of the day
âIâm not out for the year, but itâs like, itâs a matter of when the hell this thing is going to heal, you know? So itâs frustrating from that aspect, but youâve just got to deal with it.â â C Corey Linsley on his hamstring injury
Linsley on the PUP, not IR. This way he is eligible to come back without using the one return designation.
I don't believe he has practiced, so he is eligible still.
We need Reggie White for moments like these
Linsley needs a clock?
