Kudos to the OLine

CS PackMember

Rodgers got hit a couple of times, and the Steelers looked to me got some coverage sacks when they took away the seam passes, but for the most part I thought the guys up front did well. I thought the protection calls for handling the Steelers blitz were outstanding, it seemed as if nothing the Steelers sent (I saw a Pscho package one time) surprised them.

And for as little as they ran, Starks had some holes to run. And Rodgers had times where his pocket was nice.

Big ups to the OLine. Loved seeing the shot of Staubach coming through and the big burly OLine guys touching it as well. They earned it.

Was Clifton's name mentioned at all? He was splendid? Harrisson got a sack after Clifton knocked him down and Arod ran into Harrison. AR gets that sack.

That was a very cool shot...

After the first few drives, Bulaga really played well, and without much help.

Ya gotta love it when all you hear about the Oline is, "...".

Bulaga played great on the big stage for a first-year guy, Clifton was awesome, and the interior guys just as good. But you can't forget the RBs as well. BJack picked up a blitzer on that third-down play to Jordy, and even Starks stuck it to Polomalu on one play and didn't even let him get a sniff of ARod. (Starks did whiff later, but the young man is learning that keeping his QB standing is his bread and butter.) For all we kept hearing about Pitt and how they were going to blitz us into mistakes, the Oline and RBs proved them wrong.

I remember Mark Chmura and some other schlub on ESPN Milwaukee bitch about drafting Bulaga and not taking a few other guys.

Without Bulaga this year I am not sure if they would have done it. He had some growing pains but man he was good when it mattered.

I was thinking that last night before the game...without Bulaga, I'm not sure the Packers get this far. And, he's only going to get better.

Cliff says he has NO plans to retire.

Great thread, because this was the one thing that could have negated the advantage our WR's had verses their secondary. The OL was absolutely huge.

Yes, the o-line was huge. Woodley pushed Bulaga around a bit in the first series, but I didn't really hear much from Woodley after that.

Pre-game, my big worry was how the tackles would hold up against Harrison and Woodley. We hardly heard their names mentioned all day.

Big props to Tauscher for sticking around the locker room and sidelines to help his young protege. I'm sure he even helped his old buddy/bookend Clifton with things he was seeing from the sidelines.

This entire team was simply awesome. I hope the chemistry stays at a high level going forward.
