Lang played tackle in college and plays tackle in the pros. He's a tackle.
Check Packers.com it says it there too.

He damn sure didn't play tackle when it counted, now did he?
He has been listed at 316.
He weighs 307.
Go look at every other LT in this league.
The time thing?
Most scouts PROJECTED him as a guard in THIS league, not college.
Of course I know what he played in college.
Fred is Fred Flintstone. That is what everyone else calls Mike McCarthy. If no one sees why, then you scare the shit out of me.
Here is one of those projections:
Sports Illustrated
BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter awarded all-Conference honors as a senior. Experienced at both the left and right tackle positions.
POSITIVES: Underrated blocking prospect who displays a good amount of skill in his overall game. Quickly gets into blocks, bends his knees, and fluid moving about the field. Keeps his feet moving throughout the action, shows the ability to slide laterally in pass protection, and covers a good amount of area on the field. Makes terrific use of angles, correctly places his hands into defenders and fights with them until the whistle blows. Flashes a nasty streak and really gets after opponents. Displays the ability to block in motion.
NEGATIVES: Must improve his strength as he struggles to get any movement at the point of attack as a run blocker. Lacks the classic size for an offensive tackle.
ANALYSIS: Lang is a prospect who's fallen under the radar screen in scouting circles, yet he is a lineman with the skills and work ethic to play at the next level. He may not have the size to stay offensive tackle, yet has enough ability to be pushed inside to guard or center, and he should get looks from a zone-blocking team.
PROJECTION: Second/Third Round

My point being...
I'm not trying to get into a pissing contest with my fellow members, (even you, Kev, lol)
I like Lang. HELL I LOVE Lang
He has been left hanging out to dry by my head coach in this football game that I just witnesed
Where the FUCK was his help???!!!
This is a 307 lb rookie that just got left hanging by MM and co.
That is inexcusable, to me.
In maybe THREE YEARS, we can do that...AFTER he has hit the weight room and put on 18-22 lbs. (I'm picky, lol)
Unreal, to me.
