Bulaga done for year?

For me, the hopeful part happened already a few weeks ago, when Van Roten was signed from the PS to the regular roster. There didn't seem to be any real reason to do that at the time, the Packers had everyone on the O-line they had started with, and no one was nursing a significant injury. Just seemed as if they felt he had earned it, and it was time to up their numbers at the position (which was unusually low to start).

Barclay had a stellar camp in their one on one drills, as I recall; and Van Roten came on very strong late in camp and must have kept it up while on the PS squad. Not an ideal situation with two untested rookies as the only backups, but these guys have at least shown something on the practice field that has given TT enough comfort that he isn't scouring the available street talent.

Maybe Bruce Wilkerson can come out of retirement and win his own award.

No loss -- over analyzed too much. Recall measuring stuff and trying to rationalize using "scientific" methods.

Yeah, he was heavy on the analysis, but at least for me, that was something I enjoyed. I didn't buy his stuff hook, line, and sinker, but I personally respected his opinion and research and enjoyed his posts.

Joe, don't post no more shit like that.

The one in the front row is warming up her yard stick to use on my poor young ass.

Getting you all excited is it?
