Matthew Mulligan might not charm fans on Twitter, have arms covered in tattoos or take a fake field goal flip all the way to the end zone against the Packers biggest rival. But so far, it looks like the Packers lone veteran free agent signing is filling in nicely for departed fan favorite Tom Crabtree [...]

I'm a bit surprised about all the hype around Mulligan blocking. I had to miss the preseason game against Cards... but I singled Muulligan out in the family night game and his blocking honestly looked clearly worse than Quarless blocking from two years ago. Then again maybe he just had a bad night, that night.

Also most the plays I saw him where plays where he had to chase somebody, like going to the second level, get to a LB and block them. When I've heard he's better when he doesn't have to do the chasing such as pass blocking a bliter or pass rusher that attacking his gap. Or run blocking a DE across from him. But hey it'd be nice to have a good/great blocking TE again.
