Video at GBPG has Wes Hodkiewicz and Vandermause talking about the Bulaga situation and the gamble of starting Bahktieri there. Hodkiewicz said; "The last time the Packers went into a regular season with a rookie left tackle, it was Chad Clifton."
I assume he means as the starter, because there have been several backup rookie LTs. He is wrong about going into the season with a rookie starter at LT. Clifton was not the starter going into the season. Mike Wahle was. Clifton didn't start until a month or more into the season, although he had come in to several games before that to replace Wahle during the game.
As I recall, Tauscher actually became a starter before Clifton did.
