We need to keep Barbre and Lang in the starting lineup. Give them a chance to shine. If they blow it, put Tausch and/or Clifton in.
on topic, very curious to see that Green is now the #2 back. Maybe he's just taking the #2's snaps to get him more practice.... ?

I was thinking about starting a thread on this but this fits just right.
What a great time to have Clifton, Tauscher and Green. Who would have EVER thought they would all be starting out over on the sidelines. But what a great way to cover the teams back in a big game like this.
Green is huge because he can come in and be that dump off go-to guy when Rodgers is pressured and he can pick up a blitz and actually knows what a real chip block is. With all the pressure the Vikes bring Green has that knack of actually making a screen pass work.
Taush and Cliffy can be right there if either young guy shows they can't hold up. I don't know many teams with backup tackles like that.
All of a sudden we have gone from one of the youngest teams in the NFl to this young/old team and having veterans like this waiting in the wings if needed is perfect going into the biggest game of the year.
If none of the three see the field that's ok because it probably means we just kicked the crap out of the Vikings.
