Bryan Bulaga Bulked Up in Rehab

[pbmax]

Purposefully, under supervision. But it that the best idea when coming back from a knee injury?

If he'll be on the rigt side, it's probably a good thing. We'll see if he gets hurt, yet again, in this, his contract year.

I heard Bryon stopped Julius cold twice during one on ones today while in pads.

Let's see if he can make it through family night and a preseason game before we declare him back.

Hadn't read that Bulaga had been on the left. Where did you see it?

Either GBPG or JSO. They mentioned that he beat Peppers twice at his regular RT position, and Matthews once while lining up as a LT. I read a bunch of different articles, but I will see if I can find it. I found it especially noteworthy that Bulaga was taking reps there this early, which indicates that Sherrod might not be solidly in their plans so that Bulaga would have to be the backup on the left, or that they want to do everything to be better than Bakhtiari was last year, either with an improved Bakhtiari or with the 2013 plan of Bulaga on the left.

GBPG:

■ Bulaga had a strong day in one-on-one drills, winning a battle against Clay Matthews while lining up at left tackle and then holding his own against Julius Peppers twice from his usual post at right tackle.

I can certainly see Bulaga ending up at LT - remember that he was handed that position and supposed to be the Pack's week 1 starter there last season.

Remember these are just 1-on-1s and I thought I read that they wanted him to go against Clay in the first matchup. Clay rushes from that side so he probably just adjusted his stance and footwork and they went at it. Then back to the right side. Maybe there's more to it, but I personally wouldn't read anything about Sherrod into it at this point.

I would find it odd because Barclay is the one who has to be replaced first and that means Bach or Sherrod have to move right as well. Bach spent next to no time on the right last year and Sherrod hasn't since his injury.

And RE: the blurb Patler had, I don't know how you can actually be the left tackle in a one on one drill. Maybe as mission said, it was about the angle and footwork.

[Patler]

They simulate a line of scrimmage, and the O-lineman takes his stance, which is obviously different for an LT than an RT. I have to assume they instructed Bulaga to line up as an LT, otherwise it is a wasted rep for him as to footwork and everything.

Sherrod filled in for Barclay at the end of a game last year. Several articles have said his off season has been as Bulaga's backup, while others have said at LT. I'm not sure what they are doing with Sherrod.

Outlook: Offensive line coach James Campen kept Sherrod at right tackle behind starter Bryan Bulaga the entire offseason. Most backup offensive linemen must play multiple positions, but the Packers want Sherrod to concentrate on a single position given all the time that he has missed because of the broken leg.

Quotable: "The kid looks terrific," Campen said. "The next step for him is to get him into the daily grind, put the pads on and go pound it. That's his next step, but we've been very pleased with where he's come from."

Do they simulate a LOS? It always looks like one guy versus another guy when I've seen video.
With Clay lining up on his outside shoulder he would have to be a LT to accommodate that.
I just don't think there's much to that at all besides it not hurting to get a few reps at a position you were previously a starter at. At least not enough to be an indictment against Sherrod. That's a huge reach there IMO.
