Because that is usually the weaker of the two pass blockers. That in no way shape or form means good pass blocking RT's don't exist, like your claiming. They do exist & we don't have one.Quote:

If the TE lined up on the left side then the QB has to throw across his body and across the defense more often to make a completion to them. Having the TE there makes more sense, plus the TE also helps with the LB's on that side when they are rolling out.Quote:

Bulaga has been on IR since early Nov with a dislocated hip
Quote:
According to Pro Football Focus, Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga has allowed 18 quarterback hurries, three sacks and three hits through the first five games.
In 12 games last season, Bulaga allowed 21 hurries, one sack and two hits.
I’m no math whiz, but after crunching those numbers, Bulaga has already allowed the same number of hurries, sacks and hits through five games in 2012 that he allowed in 12 games in 2011.

Now its not like I wouldn't like an upgrade but I also would like to keep some cohesion with the line but improve protection calls and really start looking to make the bigger commentments to the WR position for the offense and upgrade the DT and MLB to help shore up the defense.
Just saying there are lots of other needs not sure I want to create another need or over pay to bring in a free agent there and tie up cap space that could be used elsewhere.....Carlson part deux
I don't get why I need the fork. Seems like I'm correct. They tried him at OLB... he was terrible and they moved him back to DE where he is excelling! I don't get where you are seeing. He does have impressive straight line speed but he does not have the lateral quickness to play LB. Will we occasionally get dropped back? Sure... teams do it with DL all the time, Hell Phat Pat was back in coverage a few times. However, this teams is best served with Griffen's hands in the ground and nose on the QB.... No crow!!!!Quote:

Since there are more right handed players than left....its pretty easy to understand.Quote:

Simpson won't be back in 2013. Frazier hates him, or I should say... Frazier hates his lack of commitment and lazy attitude. Remember Frazier didn't let him even suit up for the game against the Redskins because Frazier didn't like how Simpson practiced that week? Frazier is calm, but it clearly his way or the highway.Quote:
