I lean slightly toward keeping things as is, considering that Tauscher was not playing well before he got hurt.

There was one day in Ted Thompson's career with the Green Bay Packers, where I was near to jump on the Ted Thompson hater bandwagon. He traded up to 23 and I was sure he did it to draft Oher, but he took a guy named Clay Matthews. 1,5 years ago this raised a "WTF, trade up for an overrated LB" question and I was really pissed, but as from today ... THANK GOD Ted Thompson was picking and not me. Oher is a pretty good LT, but having the Claymaker is priceless.

Bulaga did a pretty good job to keep his job, so does Peprah. I would keep the OL as it is, I'd prefer 2 changes if Cliffy goes down over giving the job back to Tausch and keep Bulaga off the field.

Funny, because I was the opposite. I was on the I hate Ted Thompson bandwagon up until that moment. Now I'm a Ted Thompson supporter.

I am of the mindset that there are few things more important than team chemistry. I think you keep things as they are because it's working out well. The line is playing at a maybe their highest level in the last three or four years. Bulaga is gaining valuable experience. I don't see how you can mess with this lineup. If Clinton gets hurt, you make the move and deal with it. And it's not worth worrying about now. It's been quite a while since I've been this happy with the Packers' line play.

The Packers need 3 good tackles. They have them.
Be glad they don't need 4.

Does it really matter which 3 are starting?

Bulaga is only a 21 year old rookie. He will get better in a few years.

If Lang gets a a full offseason workout and can develop or Ted gets another good one Clifton or Tauscher could be a cap casualty depending on if and how the new cap is structured.

No Mark doesn't get back in, the line is playing at too high of a level at this point to do so.

In mop up time, notice whom was shifted to left tackle, the guy with the "short" arms drafted last season.

Point is.. and Cheez mentions above, we now have 3 game tested tackles when Mark returns, with two more in reserve, Lang and Newhouse. Don't forget, the Packers played Newhouse at left tackle much of the preseason.

Additionally, I don't see it as a bad thing that guys are being developed off the field for a season or two in place of the trial by fire method of the past couple of seasons. Unless they can play out of the box like Bulaga has shown.. what a steal that late in the draft.

Bulaga is playing too well to go back to sitting behind Clifton--who is arguably playing the best football of his career--and Tausch, who IMO did nothing to really impress me this year. Tauscher is getting old and torn up, and I think that as far as talent and chemistry go, we NEED to keep Bulaga in.

Completely agree. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

It's nice to have a contingency plan in preparation for people getting hurt (taush at right, bulaga wait for his more natural position on left side), but it's also not worth jeopardizing great chemistry in anticipation of something that may not even happen (injury).

Knock on wood, but I think whoever was poking the packer voodoo doll has moved onto the colts anyway.

Tauscher, at this stage of his career with his inconsistent play this season, is going to get paid pretty good money to be a reserve at RT and veteran leader in that locker room for the rest of the year. He'll get ample time to recover his shoulder injury to boot with how well Bulaga is playing. You've got to go with the 5 best guys you have no matter what position you'd ideally like them to play.

Tauscher's contract for the remainder of the year is guaranteed and it's very doubtful you'll find a street free agent or practice squad guy who will play as good as he can when healthy (and know our offense) despite his play being down.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
