Packers O-Line woes

no_cloning · 12-18-2011, 05:52 PM

The Packers started the season with only eight O-Line players on their rosters: Starters (left to right) Clifton, Lang, Wells, Sitton, Bulaga plus backups Sherrod (T), Dietrich-Smith (C/T) and Newhouse (G).

After Clifton went down they plugged in Newhouse at LT. Today first Bulaga had to leave the game with renewed knee problems and then his replacement Sherrod was carted off.

So for the remainder of the game they had two 'natural' guards playing the tackle position (although Newhouse played LT in college so I don't really understand the guard label) and it showed with Rogers getting sacked four times today.

This will be a huge factor if they can't get their tackles healthy.
