Madden always rates him as like a 72, and he was young so that was kind of awesome....I try to make sure bulaga & Sherrod stay healthy.

Says he played in the UFL w/ the 2010 UFL Champion Las Vegas Locomotives last year.

So he knows how to win games.

If hes a 72 rating in Madden then this is a great pickup by TT.

That's funny but yeah... 72 ain't bad for a backup.

The pickings I'm sure are pretty thin right about now so it is a good thing they got someone who has actually played on another team in the NFL. What does this say about the tackle on our PS - Campbell?

If Clifton and Bulaga can't go, which seems likely, this guy is going to have to be activated on Sunday. He hasn't played in the NFL since 2009? This situation sucks and I can't believe there isn't someone out there that might be better.

The pickings are getting slim

Two weeks ago I made a joke about some of us being called up to be backup lb's. I think it is more probable for OL. Anyone here on the large side? I'm like a fat weak Scott Wells.

Newhouse and Taylor were offensive tackles during some overlapping years at TCU. I wonder if that connection has something to do with picking him up. If nothing else, the packer scout had his eye on both guys. I assume that scout is no longer with us.:lol: Just kidding, newhouse has shown potential, especially for low round pick.

I have a feeling Bulaga will be back for the playoffs at least, but Cliffy? Who can tell? I sure hope so!

Cliffy is supposedly going to attempt to practice today.

I just hope Herb brings the Tijuana Brass with him. It's been a while since the Pack's had a decent horn line.

With CJ on the 88's, they should really be able to get down.

It says Campbell is probably more of a guard or center and that the Packers didn't expect to need another tackle with Clifton, Bulaga, Newhouse, and Sherrod on the roster...

I guess they said Cliffy was moving around pretty good today. I don't know if he'll play on Sunday, however. But if his back doesn't act up he could be good to go in the playoffs.

I admit, I have never heard of the guy, but that means ZERO in the cosmos of professional football. M3 alluded to the fact that they'd been in touch with Tauscher; I suggest alluded, because he was very coy about it.

Taylor was drafted in 2007, so there is a chance TT had him on his draft board at the time. Just because he doesn't draft 'em doesn't mean he forgets about 'em.

I don't think he'll start. I've been wondering, though, if he continues to feel ok through the week, does he suit up as a "break glass in case of emergency" guy?

i'd save him for the playoffs.

I wouldn't be surprised if Clifton played. He's definitely shown in the past he doesn't need a lot of practice to get ready to play in a game.

If Cliffy can't suit up, Taylor most certainly will.

I too will be surprised if he plays against the bares but probably shooting for the playoffs.
