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.

Watch his individual play against the Cardinals. I was impressed. He had the defenders name everytime he blocked. Granted it was probably against backups, but he looked pretty damn good to me. Definitely not a receiver, but he is a excellent blocker.

Also I've been wanting to hear more about the back-up TE battle. It really seems like none of the back-ups have set themselves apart this year (unless Mulligan now has). I've been waiting for Williams and Taylor to break out but it hasn't happened (yet).

I thought Williams was going to be like TE Tory Humphrey but live up to the hype... where Humphrey could never stay healthy enough to get to his potential.

And I thought Taylor had the potential to become the jack of all trades and very well could be replacing Kuhn if they tried him at FB and TE...

But they seem to not be stepping up. Anyways thanks for the detail of Mulligan against the Cards.
