Cliffy/Bulaga switcharoo?

I'm mainly posting this to spite Greg C. for trying to keep the Justin Harrell thread at the top of the list, but...

At the beginning of the broadcast Fox mentioned Bulaga and Clifton had switched at LT/RT at the beginning of the game.

I was watching a number of other things throughout the game, unfortunately NOT paying much attention to this. Did anyone else take note of this, or if they reverted back to their 'usual' positions later in the game?

I just watched it again. They switched ends for the second play of the game. Then they switched back on the third play. I have no idea why they did this for that one play.

very strange...did they get lost out coming out of the huddle? When Aikman mentioned that I was stunned because the playoffs seem like a curious time to be switching positions, espeically one as crucial as the tackles are.

I didn't get it either,I would rather see an unbalanced line but it seemed odd to do that.

Must have been something to do with blocking trent cole on the other side

It was just a mind game thing designed to confuse and get the other team's coaches thinking and wondering about something minor instead of paying attention to other things going on.

Maybe some mobster in Vegas made a weird bet that they would switch sides and then he paid off Clifton and Bulaga to do that.

When I participated (as a test subject) in a research project investigating the peculiar psychological condition known as syneesthesia, I was a bit bemused to note that the first question on the questionnaire was "Do you frequently confuse your left and your right?" -- to which I embarrassedly had to answer "yes."

Maybe Bulaga and Clifton are synaesthetes?

You guys are all idiots. This was a direct ploy by Mike McCarthy/Ted Thompson to reduce Clifton's value when it comes time to renegotiate his contract. Now they can say Bulaga has playoff experience at LT. 😉

Pretty sure it was a throw off to slide protection towards Cole. They did it for just the one play so it might of been to confuse the DC for one drive. Other then that it can't be a bad sign they trust BB for atleast one play on the left side in the playoffs.

We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.

packerfanoutwest (18h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

wpr (19h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (20h) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
