Several others think this as well. I think it was an obvious mistake by the coaching staff, in not giving Lang a chance to compete at RT, when Barbre was an absolute disaster.

But yeah, more than a few people, whos opinions I respect, because of their football knowledge, have said Lang would fit better as a RT.

The intriguing thing about Giacomini is that he was on target for the starting RT job last TC but his injury flaring up again handed the job to Barbre.

The coaches must like him to keep him on the roster for 2 seasons as an inactive who can only play RT and is no use on Special Teams.

It reminds me of when Sitton won the RG job his rookie year, got injured and they didn't want to mess around with the line up so they didnt put him back in mid season.

I have a feeling Giacomini might come out of the traps flying in TC and at least match Tauscher. If so that frees the more versatile Lang up to play elsewhere.

Giacomini has the size, the mean streak and was a TE in college so should be atheltic enough.

The reason "they" say Lang fits better at RT is because his body type isn't in line with your prototypical LT. Nothing more than that. He has shown that he can play LT against good competition, though, so fitting the mold isn't worth much, in my opinion. I'm not seeing he'd be more natural at LT than RT. What I'm saying is that it don't mean shit that his body type doesn't fit the LT mold.

I think Mr. executive of the year candidate has his work cut out for him regarding the offensive line.

I really don't see how you don't keep Tauscher. I mean, the provides stability on his side of the line and he obviously wants to be in Green Bay.

I think even if they are hoping someone else wins the job, you have to keep him on this team, at least for another year. Now Clifton on the other hand, is a different story. I wouldn't blame him at all for taking one more "big" pay day. I'm sure he'll get an offer.

I guess I just don't see why everyone is so high on Spitz.

He has played how many games for us. he won the position over Wells who is not a slouch.

LT - Lang
LG - Mike Iupati - 1st round draft pick (6'5" 330 lbs)
C - Spitz
RG - Sitton
RT - Tauscher - Signs two year deal to finish career in GB

Wells backs up Center, if either guard gets injured, Spitz moves over.

Giacommini is backup RT, we draft project LT in 3rd or 4th round.

Clifton and College walk. I am sick to death of watching this two get beat on the pass rush, and also piss poor run blocking.

After the first two tackles go off the board, the rest are all projects. I wouldn't normally condone taking a guard in the first round, but that big boy Iupati makes our Oline a mauling force. Grant shouldn't be caught behind the line of scrimmage too often any more.

Why have colledge walk? he would be great backup. He has played everything except C for us at someoint

I see a couple scenarios with the offensive line next season.

1. If they keep Tauscher, drop Colledge/Clifton, and draft a blue-chipper.
LT- Bryan Bulaga
LG- T.J. Lang
C- Scott Wells
RG- Josh Sitton
RT- Mark Tauscher

2. Another possibility.
LT- Bryan Bulaga (rookie OT)
LG- Darren Colledge
C- Scott Wells
RG- Josh Sitton
RT- T.J. Lang

3. If they don't draft a blue-chip offensive lineman (would be dumb).
LT- T.J. Lang
LG- Jason Spitz
C- Scott Wells
RG- Josh Sitton
RT- Mark Tauscher.

I bolded the best option,in my opinion. I seriously believe the Packers NEED to draft a blue-chip offensive lineman, most preferably, who I have listed. In all three cases, I do not see Clifton in any. I wouldn't mind keeping Tauscher in the end I guess, especially if he has an entire off-season to prepare. The #1 scenario would be absolutely sick though!
