I think Teamcheez was kidding about the depth chart of the injured OL.

However, your post gave me pause over one scenario. Barclay has played emergency tackle before. On the current roster, Taylor, McCray and Ulrick have (don't think Pankey made it into a game, did he?) been the emergency tackle. Taylor's play was sublime given he's always been a Guard.

However Taylor is hurt. He might be OK after the bye, but that's not certain. So they must have really like Ulrick is my guess, because MCCray at right tackle was a very big adventure.
