After reading this article, and his comments, I think I like this kid's attitude. http://www.channel3000.com/sports/pa...oster/35031842 I hope he makes the team. He seems more versatile than Lane Taylor, anyway.

McGinn reports that starting line for tomorrow will have Vujnovich at LT, Barclay at RT.
http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packe...323810601.htmlAll five starters are expected to sit Thursday night in the exhibition finale against New Orleans.
Expected to start, from left to right, are Jeremy Vujnovich, Lane Taylor, JC Tretter, Josh Walker and Don Barclay.
This might suggest that Barclay didn't win the LT backup job. Or maybe it was just the way to get their top 5 backups on the field.
I wonder if Vujnovich has outside shot at roster spot; his pass blocking at LT last week was reportedly pretty good. Probably not, 10 is too many. One or two starters from tonight are likely cut.
OK fine, ya bunch of jokesters. I'll look it up myself.
33 1/2" ARM LENGTH, 9" HANDS and NFL.com says he is 6' 6"
Either that means Guard or putting cotton in the top of pill bottles.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
So, are those arms long, or short?
If the arms are short, but at 6'6" he is certainly tall, does he have "length" as they use the term to describe OL? After all, short guys with long arms are said to lack desired "length".
I like tall and short, thin and fat, smart and dumb; terms I understand.
Walker, at NFL.com by Nolan Nawrocki
STRENGTHS Big-bodied, thickly built, power-based blocker with the sheer size to cover up defenders in the run game. Flashes shock in his punch and can drop his hips and anchor vs. massive wide bodies. Solid positional pro day workout. Plays with balance. Tough, smart and durable. Team captain.
WEAKNESSES Has tight ankles, and mechanics break down the farther he has to travel. Limited pulling and reaching a moving target. Gives up the edges too easily and could do a better job controlling defenders. Tends to bend at the waist too much.
a. I doubt Nolan has any idea what tight ankles would mean for a football player. Just describe the movement that he is limited by.
b. So he can sink his hips but he is a waist bender. Can we get the frequency of each?
These reports are the babbling of the nearly unemployed. If he could draw a paycheck by saying it, Nawrocki would write that Walker is possessed by the soul of Dan Fike.

Those arms are shorter than most tackles, but not T-Rex short.
He is big and tall, so he probably has an impressive wingspan which helps catch the pass rusher. But in a straight on bull rush charge, where arms are out front, his would be on the short side. Though not on the short side on the Packers.
Lang 32 3/4
Bach 34
Sitton 33 5/8
Bulaga 33 1/4"
Linsley 32"
Clifton 33"
Tauscher Did not possess arms that could be measured
Joe Thomas 32 1/2
