A poll on Bulaga's role

[rbaloha1]

Voted BB as a guard. More comfortable if TT took a pure lt prospect.

He should be groomed at tackle exclusively. He's got tackle feet, so no reason to turn him into a guard. Left or right side, it doesn't really matter right now, so long as he eventually ends up on the left.

We drafted Bryan Bulaga not Mike Iupati...

Not sure where all this guard talk is coming from besides talk about maybe getting him on the field earlier. He's not a guard at all. How could he be? Cracking me up man come on

I think people are standing on their heads and mistaking his floor (starting caliber left guard) for his ceiling (pro bowl left tackle).

We need him on the left side right now. Playing him on the right side, with the attitude that "IF" we need him on the left, he can just switch. I don't like that at all. Not for that position.

I agree that LT only is the best case, but I think Bulaga will be a better RT next year, if needed, than Lang. .

You really don't want a rookie to play. Whatever the configuration, you need good backups at both LT and RT to be ready when the very old guys go down. Best bet is to keep working Bulaga at LT and play him only if and when Clifton gets an owie.

I agree with the majority that we don't want guys being swapped all over the place but I have hard time believing Buluga is not one of our top 5 best offensive lineman right now.

I agree that he may be one of our top 5 linemen. But I don't know if playing him at guard would make up our best alignment up front. It's about having the best offensive line, not having the best offensive linemen.

After the LT/LG fiasco with Colledge (built a body type for LG play then asked to sub at LT), LT for Bulaga. Hopefully Colldge can get back up to snuff at LG.

Get him ready at tackle and if it's clear he should be starting start him at Guard

And turn him into the next Daryn Colledge...

He's a tackle. He needs practice as a tackle. He needs to learn as a tackle. A tackle is not a guard, so no matter how good an offensive lineman is he should not be coached at 2 entirely different OL positions. If he's a future long term tackle it makes no sense to confuse him by teaching him something entirely different. Even if our interior line suffers this season because of it, it makes absolutely no sense to me.
