  • Tauscher to IR


  • #2
    Puts an end to the speculation between Bulaga and Tauscher.

    Spencer playing tackle?
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

            Is that the last of Tauscher then? Coming off the last injury - you got to think he'd hang them up. Amazing career for a guy that the UW coaches didn't know he had a year of eligibility left...

              I think he has another year on his contract, and the shoulder should be healed by spring. Maybe he will end his career as his predecessor (Earl Dotson) did, serving as a backup to his replacement. Kind of nice have Dotson there when Tauscher got hurt in 2002, even though Dotson hadn't played much in the previous two years.

                  Sure hope so. Not sure if Meredith is ready to start if needed.

                    Apparently, because Lang and Spitz have been the active O-line backups the last few weeks. I imagine Spitz goes in for injuries at guard or center, and Lang does at tackle.

                      These IR moves always make me look for what might influence it, especially when they have held the guy on the roster for 6 weeks with the same injury before sending him to IR. There are only 7 games left, but with playoffs hopefully they could be playing 3 months from now. So, either

                      - the injure is very severe, and Tauscher won't be ready for a long time, maybe requiring surgery or at least extensive rehab; and/or

                      - the coaches have an increased comfort level with Lang/Newhouse/McDonald.

                      To have hung on to Tauscher all these weeks when he couldn't have played if he had to, and now move him to IR after all that time means they didn't know the severity of his injury, and/or they were hoping against hope to get him back because they weren't content with those behind him until now.

                      I hope it is because Lang is playing like he did last year and Newhouse and McDonald have taken steps forward.

                            Do the Packers normally have four tackles on the 53?

                            Clifton, Bulaga, Lang and Newhouse on the 53. And one of them may be a game day inactive. Seems thin to me.
                            Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                              Normally I wouldn't be real eager to take on someone just cut by the Lions, but in this case I'll make an exception.
                              Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.
