Even more important to focus on the running game now...
This talk of Baktiari taking the reigns at LT..... its craziness. He is a project player. Will be a sad situation if he is starting at any point of the season. Its going to take a few years to grow into a starter. Just like it did with Bulaga... We will be starting Newhouse, and Barclay again unless we go get a legit LT in free agency.
Bulaga started his rookie season starting Week 5 until end of season and through Super Bowl run. He came in after Tauscher was injured... or are you referring to another Bulaga on the Packers?
Tauscher was 7th round pick that started 14 games his rookie season... how crazy is that. I am not going to rule out Baktiari... following all the comments of TC thus far, he has impressed.
You talk about Bakhtiari starting as madness but you suggest putting Clifton in as a starter?
Yea Bulaga was 16th overall pick, and a blue chip prospect.
No doubt......This is the worst division in football to have O line issues, between Peppers, the kid from the Vikings and Detroit having a lot of young high draft pick D lineman, I feel for you guys. Edit: Atleast you don't have to face Clay Matthews twice a year...
. Bakhtiari may end up being average but there is a reason all of those tackles you listed are free agents. They are below average and you want the team to run out and sign an average to below average player because of a knee jerk reaction. I sure thank the Lord that you aren't running the showand I remember Clifton and Tauscher being very average or below average for a while when they started.
