Chad Clifton. Hang em up buddy, it's over.

Cliffy is playing well. BB was overpowered on bull rush moves. Its correctable.

MM needed to help with BB with a te or fb (Quinn Johnson.) This performance reminded of Odom from the Bengals dominating the Packers last season.

i just could not for the life of me understand why they were not giving baluga any help at all after it looked like lang was having an all world day.

i kept waiting to see a TE or a FB over there to help, but nothing, ever

that seems like football 101 to me

Re: Chad Clifton. Hang em up buddy, it's over.

Thanks for your years of service Cliffy, but you're a liability out there. Might as well just stay on the sidelines in pass coverage, you'd save us the holding calls and Rodgers will still get maimed just the same. Discuss.

Bump. Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Bulaga is a LT and he played RT. Now, I'm no expert, but I expect there's a difference?

There is a difference. Its something he should be past by now after several weeks. A tackle uses an almost reggie white club like move to ride a speed rusher upfield (to force his momentum so he can't turn the corner). A left tackle uses his right arm and leg. Opposite for RT. Same with a bull rush you try to leverage him inside to the help and its opposite from the hips. A guy with a great base like Bulaga should struggle with it for about 2 weeks before he is comfortable....I didn't watch him that close last night. Did he look comfortable??

[Cheesehead Craig]

Bulaga did a nice job against Edwards. He still looks like a rookie at times, but that's expected.

[Joemailman]

Considering Bulaga has played 3 positions as a rookie, he's been pretty impressive. You put him somewhere for a couple of weeks, and he gets better. That's all you can ask from a rookie.

Whoops.....

greensled needs to send a memo to Cris Collinsworth who was singing CC's praises last night.

Hopefully Clifton will remain healthy and do the same thing again in four weeks when they play in the Metrodome.

No problem. Some of the points brought up were pretty valid, and I got owned pretty good. I did have a few cocktails in me posting that and was just generally pissed. He did very well last nite.

CC is proving many of us wrong -- played exceedingly well against a premier pass rusher. Appears healthier.

[Joemailman]

Actually, it was nothing new. Allen has 1.5 sacks against Clifton in 4 games. Allen did his damage against Colledge and Lang last year.

A nice fluffy Cliffy piece from Lori, whom I like, actually.

It's quite debatable if JA is a premiere pass rusher this year. His falloff has been quite steep. Ray Edwards is probably the bigger threat at DE there now.

(this takes nothing away from the job Clifton did)

I've got to eat crow for calling the old Volunteer out like I have. I just hope his play against the Vikings wasn't a one game apparition caused by JA's declined play, or any number of other factors.

Didn't Allen get most of his sacks LAST season against Barbre and Colledge?

A lot of us called him out, and he proved us all wrong. This came out of nowhere. Cliffy was amazing, and hopefully he can continue that level of play.
