If the packers trade for good defensive lineman, this will hep the run defense tremendously

[run pMc]

Bulaga is playing the best of the starting 5OL right now. He's outplayed Bahk, who will get Pro Bowl consideration just on reputation and playing for a winning team.
I think Rodgers has been sacked something like 7-8 times this year total -- much fewer than last season. You can choose how you like to spread credit to Rodgers, the scheme, coaching or OL for that.

Why, just because he is a former Packer? Does he have a more personal relationship with Bulaga than with the other linemen that would cause him to volunteer the comparative comment of Bulaga versus the others?

I take all talking heads comments with a grain of salt, but I have no reason at this point to be any more skeptical of Kuhn's opinions than others. Besides, Kuhn didn't say anything that others have not opined about Bulaga this year already.

I assumed GB wouldn't even make an offer to Bulaga. I'm not yet arguing that the should, but I am no longer so certain that they won't. I think quality OTs are very difficult to find, and rarely available in free agency. Heck, Marshall Newhouse is still a starting LT, and for the best team in the league at that.

I said MAY not be hahahahaha. I don't know, but there MAY well be something to his bias in favor of a former teammate - nothing wrong with that.

I thoroughly agree about the talking heads, though.

No question Bulaga has been better - I think it's a bit of exaggeration to say he's playing at Pro Bowl level or near it. I wouldn't mind having him back, but all things (including injuries) considered, I hope it is for a pretty low amount.

Just like i thought. Now its just a matter of whether the packers are interested, and who gives the best compensation.

I’m just curious why you thought he’d be available. I just would have never guessed so I’m curious what you’re looking at to notice that

The Jets record, contract year. Not watching as much tape as i used to, so cant comment on his play so far this year. The Jets have a habit of drafting really good defensive lineman with top picks and not giving them second contracts.

He's the type of guy who would perform a lot better for a different team. And his personality doesnt fit the Jets. Hes a good guy!

I've always been pretty good at judging talent, im not really exactly sure myself how i saw this coming, it just seemed like it would. It might not still.

Makes sense.

Lining up L. Williams next to Clark (with or instead of Lowry) would be pretty great. Given the money they gave Lowry and the money they will give Clark, I'm wondering about how they'd feel about having to sign Williams to keep him too.
This feels like a NE type of thing where they throw a R2 at the Jets and get him to replace Micheal Bennett. Although being in the same division probably nixes that.

It probably doesn't make sense financially for the Packers to go after a guy like Williams for a rental. If they gave up a second and got back a third for the compensatory pick, it's a pretty big loss plus the money they'd owe Williams for this season.

Yet, of all the moves the Packers could make, I think giving Kenny Clark some help is the one that would help this team the most. The defense is not as shut-down as they were the first couple of weeks of the season, and I attribute that in part to Kenny Clark's effectiveness. He was really moving the pocket and shutting down the run in the middle. Now he's gimpy and already seems a little worn out. Getting the defensive line back up to how it played earlier in the season would fix a lot of what ails this team.

I have figured Bulaga would follow the paths of Sitton, Lang and Matthews and not be offered a contract. Much was said in preseason about how Bulaga had significantly changed his off season program to try and get away from the nagging injuries he has had, which also resulted in him losing weight. Writers have stated he looks much different, more fit.

John Kuhn commented on it this week, while saying Bulaga has been hands down the Packers best lineman so far. Said he is not at a pro-bowl level, he is at an all-pro level. Said it is dramatic how well Bulaga is playing.

If Bulaga holds up for the season, I am beginning to think GB might try to keep him.

100% agree. He is looking awesome. He is run blocking. He is setting up a wall. If he finishes like he started a Jimmy Graham 3 year dealshould be offered. One that allows escape after 2 years. Give him a nice signing bonus, with a gameday active bonus each week. Ismael is right (i feel dirty), we don't have to lose anyone.

He is really good. I would welcome the addition, but do you want to sacrifice a top pick for a guy you have to pay right away.

A real shame we didnt get this guy, could have helped us tremendously.
