Bulaga moved to Lg already- arms too short?..lol

that didn't last long as the 'great hope" of LT..lol


On the other hand, I am going to get a little worked up about the Bulaga move. But first, let's get McCarthy's full explanation:

We felt to this point that he has earned an opportunity to compete for a starting position. Our intent throughout the spring and going into training camp was to work him exclusively at left tackle. I have been very impressed with his body of work to this point, and we're going to give him an opportunity to compete with Daryn Colledge and Allen Barbre at the left guard position.

At this point, I can't tell you if this move is more about Bulaga's good work or a reflection on the job that Colledge, Barbre and Jason Spitz have done at left guard. But as we've discussed before, the Packers have been unable to resist the siren of shuffling young offensive linemen based on short-term need. In some cases -- Colledge chief among them -- the constant change has limited overall development.

I understand the argument of getting your best five offensive linemen on the field, but we all know Bulaga is the Packers' left tackle of the future. It's by far the most difficult offensive line position to fill, and everything we can see about Bulaga suggests he can handle it. So why oversaturate him with a temporary move to left guard? I don't have an answer to that question -- unless his arms really are too short.

It was expecting too much for this rookie to start at LT.

Bulaga's arm length is fine. It's longer than Joe Thomas and Chris Williams, to name a few. It's his footwork and quickness that needs help.

YOu know what else? The Packers suck.

When I read your post about the Packers, I farted in agreement.

wasnt Chris Williams arms a concern to Broncos and the reason they passes(other then the back problem)

I dunno but Williams is playing and Clady is out.

Bulaga was moved to LG because he's performing better than any of the other players at that position. He will most likely be our starting LG and playing backup tackle behind Clifton. It's called putting all of your best players on the field.

Man, stop trying to explain football to a Bear fan. They think it's a great idea to look for starting wide receivers from wash out college cornerbacks. Like always, it will be the Bears watching the Packers and Favres play in the playoffs. Just smile and shake your head at them and point and laugh after every loss.
