Lang been practicing though, hasn't he? I can't think of a better explanation than yours, though.

The Packers have gone with only seven active O-linemen these first two weeks, with Bulaga and Spitz as the backups. That leaves a weakness at RT, so you would think Lang would be activated.

So, Bulaga over Cliffy when Green Bay takes on the Bears and Peppers? Might be better to go with the healthy rookie over a banged up veteran. Peppers is a left end, correct?

Good questions on Lang. I too am curious why he is still inactive. I think there is more to this story then we are being told about Clifton. I am happy to see that Bulaga stepped up when we needed him. Like someone else has said it is the Bills but he still looked solid when clifton was a bit of a question mark.

Gotta go with Baluga. Clifton is not healthy or just not effective enough right now. Plus he's just a poor run blocker at this point in his career.

Baluga looked great in his limited action, but there's no doubt the Packers will give him help against a guy like Peppers. Go with the rookie.

I did not notice Bulaga for any negative reason.

Which, to me, implies that he was okay today.

If he fills in for Cliffy, he has to get at least one false start. He did good.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

You know, I didn't get to watch him snap for snap. Just not how I watch football games live. But when I did watch him, he looked solid. Buffalo doesn't have a good pass rush though, so we'll see how he does if he goes up against Julius Peppers next week.

I am not so sure Bulaga will play next week against Peppers.

The Bears game is on Monday night, so Clifton will have some extra time to heal up. I'd prefer a vet in Cliffy facing Peppers than a rookie in Bulaga, all things being equal.

Agreed. I'd like to see Clifton play. He's still probably better than Bulaga at this point, even if Bulaga is catching up fast. And it hurts our depth at LG to have Bulaga out there at LT.
