Niners Nation — ... to happen.  Runyan was drafted by the Oilers/Titans, but spent the majority of his career in Philly.  Would he be interesting in coming to the West Coast?  Adam Snyder is currently the starter at right tackle, but we know that's not a sure thing.  The team could ease Runyan back into things and if Snyder falters, Runyan could pounce on the job.  I'm not holding my breath for this to happen, but I am definitely intrigued by the possibility.

Might the Cowboys Make a Waiver Claim or Two?
Blogging The Boys — ... Dallas had all five backups in, something it didn't do last week, when the backups played well. Then, the 2nd team OTs worked with the 1st team guards and the 2nd team center. I'm no longer ready to give Pat McQuistan the benefit of the doubt.  That said, the pool of available prospects is awfully thin -- and old.  There are veterans out there, thought many of them are rehabbing injuries. The Chiefs cut Damion McIntosh yesterday.  I believe Mark Tauscher and Jon Runyan are still looking for teams. At this ...

Sign Mark Tauscher?
Acme Packing Company — ... think that Barbre is capable of handling the position by himself; remember, once upon a time, Adewale Ogunleye was a premier pass-rusher.  He's an older dog who still knows his young tricks, and he took advantage of the new starter.  Barbre needs a confidence boost more than anything, in my opinion, and the next two games are excellent opportunities to deliver that medicine. No matter the case, there's been an awful lot of clamoring for the Packers to resign Mark Tauscher.  Sadly, that just won't happen.  Everyone ...

Cincy Jungle — ... scored in 2007? + We spoke to Brandon at Acme Packing Company this week and he wrote that starting right offensive tackle Allen Barbre allowed two sacks to defensive end Adewale Ogunleye.

If they hadn't anticipated it would be a problem, then their anticipators are a problem too.  If Mort means it's a bigger weakness than HE anticipated, okay.  He's more or less a repeater of information, and if nobody told him, he probably wouldn't know. I have been ripping the Packers O-line for two years now, and I beat them up for taking BJ Raji instead of Michael Oher.  It was obvious that the Chad Clifton-Mark Tauscher combination at Tackle was terrible last season, and it's ...

Kansas City Chiefs Workout Former Packers Right Tackle, Too
Arrowhead Pride — And the news continues to roll in for the Kansas City Chiefs.  Pro Football Talk reports that the Chiefs tried out former Green Bay Packers tackle Mark Tauscher. Tauscher has played right tackle since the Packers made him a seventh round pick in the 2000 NFL Draft.  He's been fairly durable throughout his career but injuries have cropped up in recent years which have caused him to miss eight games over the last three seasons. He's coming off of ACL surgery which is why teams have shied away from ...

Doesn't Sound Like Chiefs Will Pursue Tauscher, Other RTs...For Now
Arrowhead Pride — Ah, Transaction Tuesday.  For a struggling team such as the Kansas City Chiefs, and a front office who has proven to be one of the most active teams in the NFL personnel-wise, this is an exciting day.  Last week the Chiefs made eight roster moves within 24 hours. (Photo Source: When will we get a picture of Ryan O'Callaghan in a Chiefs uniform?) What will today bring? Well, we can probably count out Mark Tauscher, former Green Bay Packers right tackle whom the Chiefs ...

After a Workout, Tauscher Will Join Packers, Not Chiefs
Arrowhead Pride — Earlier today, I said it didn't sound like (to me) that veteran right tackle Mark Tauscher was coming to the Kansas City Chiefs. I cited head coach Todd Haley's recent positive comments of new starter Ryan O'Callaghan as evidence of my thinking. Turns out, I was right.  \Greg Bedard of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel just reported, "[Packers head coach Mike] McCarthy said Tauscher joining the Packers is imminent provided things work out." The Packers are the only team Tauscher has played ...

Acme Packing Company — ... The Green Bay Packers officially signed RT Mark Tauscher, and placed CB Will Blackmon on I.R. with a season ending ACL tear. Mitchell got the discussion going yesterday. What does it mean for the offensive line in the upcoming weeks? Since it was known that Tauscher would be resigned, I've been expecting him to start at right tackle, but not immediately. Mike McCarthy admitted he's got only a slight chance of playing next Sunday. In the meantime, LT Chad Clifton ...

Acme Packing Company — ... the news last month that LT Levi Jones came in for a workout: That the Packers worked out so many offensive lineman does not mean anything. NFL teams, during the first four to six weeks of the season, routinely work out several players at the same position. Two weeks ago, the Packers worked out quarterbacks and receivers. Next Tuesday it could very well be running backs and linebackers. Final word on the signing of RT Mark Tauscher: Bob McGinn says Tauscher will receive $700,000 ...

On that note, a life raft is heading our way with the return of Chad Clifton and the eventual return of Mark Tauscher, recently resigned off the free agent wire. Putting T.J Lang and Allen Babre back on the bench can hopefully help stop the bleeding because if these problems aren't fixed, the Packers will sink faster then the titanic. ...

Buc 'Em — ... If you had to take a Buccaneer player, who would it be and why? Who would you trade for him? Brandon: Barrett Rudd is always a good choice, but he really doesn't fill a need. I should mention that I really like the Packers team, they've got a lot of good players up and down the roster, so there aren't a lot of gaping holes. The two problem areas are pass protection, which should be getting better as their veteran offensive tackles, Chad Clifton and Mark Tauscher, should be returning next week, otherwise I'd mention ...

Mike McCarthy On The Packers Offensive Line
Acme Packing Company — ... During his Monday press conference, Mike McCarthy said RT Mark Tauscher may play on Sunday against the Cowboys, or he may be out a couple weeks. Obviously former starter RT Allen Barbre would play in his place, but he hasn't played well all season.
