Title pretty much says it all. Bulaga has filled in well in his absence. The move to drop Harris in favor of stability/youth/if it ain't broke don't fix it have me wondering if they'll want to keep the same starting 5 on the line and the same to reserves on the gameday 45-man roster. What do you think?

---

He does. Bulaga's future is on the left side, I think tackle specifically. If Clifton goes down, then what?

Maybe they keep Bulaga at RT. If Clifton goes down, Bulaga to LT, Tauscher to RT?

I don't know their thinking, but that might be the choice so we get Bulaga experience. Tauscher would be a safety blanket.

---

I hope they just keep Tausch as back up once he is healthy. There isn't any real dropoff with Bulaga in there and I would hate for them to mess with the chemistry right after the offense finally puts together a solid game.

I will feel much better having Tauscher as the back up RT. That is some good depth in case either Clifton or Bulaga gets hurt for a bit.

---

Yea, I think Bulaga certainly deserves to keep his job. He struggled a bit vs. the Jets but he's been pretty damn good otherwise, pretty much shut down Ware.

---

Loving the play of Bulaga and as for now I say stick with him and let him just gain the playing experience. He is starting to look real good.

McCarthy said it's his job to lose.

Interesting question. Very interesting. I'm torn. Keeping Bulaga in there means more continuity in the short term, but then if Clifton gets hurt they'll have to do a double switch, with Bulaga moving to LT and Tauscher coming back in at RT.

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

---

Bulaga has earned the right to start at RT for the rest of the season. If something happens to Clifton, you can kick Bulaga outside to left tackle and then start Tauscher at RT.

I know Bulaga's future is at LT, but remember, Michael Oher played RT last season. He's playing LT this year and is doing just fine.

---

Excellent point about Oher. That makes me feel better about this situation.

There was one day in TT'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.
