So WHERE IS Lang, being Tauschers heir apparent he seems to have gone AWOL. WTF!

he is just not activated on gameday no one really knows but Mike McCarthy said that lang is considered the "46th" player on the team.

So, if he is not active on game day does that mean that they don't consider him good enough to play or is he still injured?

The team only keeps 7 OL active (like most teams do) on gameday, since most O-linemen play every snap of the game. Bulaga is a better tackle overall than Lang, and Spitz is better on the inside positions. That means Lang is the 8th OL and not active.

I do believe that Lang would be the best backup to Tauscher.

I guess the question begs to be asked, Is he still injured?
I don't hear anything about him other than that he had surgery.

He's not injured. They dress out 7 OL on game day - that has been the 5 starters with Bulaga as T depth and Spitz for interior line depth. Lang has been inactive because he's not as high as Bulaga (LT of the future) and Spitz, who's the interior jack-of-all-trades. Once someone like Tausch or any of the 7 that normally dress goes inactive, Lang gets activated.

Someone has to go back and look at that 1996 season.. I remember thinking during that season we were getting decimated by injury.. hmmm yeah.. gotta have faith.

None of these injuries affect the fact that if Rodgers plays like should no one can stop our offense. The thing is, he hasn't played like that yet. Except in the second half vs the Bills.

He also played like that in the entire game against the Bears, and I would say the entire game against the Lions too, although he did make one bad throw in the second half. I sure didn't see much to criticize about his performance in either of those games, and he made several really outstanding plays.

His TD throw to Finley was one of those wow throws.. I watched it again this week.. still made me go wow days later.

Well, anything that hurts the OL increases the odds that Rodgers won't have the opportunity to play like he should.

i beg to differ...Rodgers BEASTED while under pressure and getting sacked 50+ times...maybe thats what he needs to do good...

As far as Tauscher being out longer than this week, that has yet to be determined, according to sources. He still has swelling but the MRI didn't reveal anything of concern. Tauscher will probably need to be re-evaluated Friday and possibly next week.

I would guess we put Bulaga over there and put Lang at RT. But I would rather just keep Bulaga over on the left and start Lang at RT

If Bulaga goes in at RT and we win the Super Bowl can we necro the thread and say "BOOYAHH!"
