the Packers promoted Clements from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator.

But the Packers won’t be able to deny the Bears or any other team that wants to talk with Clements about a head coaching position, which is an NFL rule.

The Chicago Tribune reported that the Bears had planned to contact the Packers about interviewing Clements.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel  cited a source that says Clements is among five coaches who will be interviewed by the Bears.  It’s not known when that interview would take place.

Barclay looks to make first NFL start against Lions

December 8, 2012 By

Don Barclay (67) looks to make his first NFL start this Sunday against Detroit

Green Bay Packers offensive lineman Don Barclay is preparing for his first career start at right tackle, replacing  T.J. Lang this Sunday against the Lions.  Barclay entered last Sunday’s game against Minnesota in the second quarter after Lang left with an ankle injury.

Barclay was encouraged by his performance, and he should be.   Barclay performed so well that Mike McCarthy didn’t change his play calls when he entered the game.

AUDIO: Barclay on not changing plays :11

Barclay, and the rest of the offensive line, take on a Lions defense ranked 19th in rushing defense.  They allow  an average of 119.4 yards per game.

Packer’s offensive coordinator Tom Clements says Barclay’s performance against the Vikings was, “a credit to him,” when asked about Barclay’s lack of experience.

AUDIO: Clements can’t worry about experience with Barclay :21

With his expected first start, Barclay has an opportunity to solidify a starting spot for the Packers at right tackle.  If Barclay impresses, this could open the door for T.J. Lang to move back to his preferred spot at left guard, and help stabilize the ever-changing offensive line.

The Packers look to continue their dominance over the Lions on Sunday night.  The last Detroit victory at Lambeau Field came Dec. 15, 1991.

In two games, Harrell has completed just over 50% of his passes (52.9%), converting 27 of 51 attempts.  He’s thrown for 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. 

Packers offensive coordinator Tom Clements was asked if he thought Harrell could get the job done, he said the Packers aren’t down on Harrell like some others. [Read more...]
