Gotta give a HUGE edge to Aaron Rodgers since this will be Tom Brady's first ever NFC Championship Game -

For what it’s worth..... Back in the day, coming out of college, Robert was 6’4” and 295 and was listed as both a DE and DT. Looks like he’s now put on nearly 20 pounds. He’s now about 312. So he’s a DT all the way. If he’s matured and eliminated all the “distractions” in his life, then I wish him well. I’d like to see him turn his life around. -
Any Tightends in the mix? I feel we need another TE, a real tall one that can block too! -

I’ve spent my adult life in the word business. Either writing them or speaking them. Words matter. While I wouldn’t rule out a left tackle with sub-33 inch arms, I’d simply say it’s very rare. Joe Thomas, who I looked up to confirm, had 32 1/2 inch arms. He was a Hall of Fame talent. He had exceptional talent and skills. I suspect he succeeded not because of his arms, but in spite of them. He was that good. Typically, if you’re a quality OL with short arms, you’ll be moved inside to guard. Ballard had to be convinced that Smith could play the less demanding RT because his arms were only 32 1/2. It’s hard to see Ballard even considering trying him on the left side, but I shouldn’t say never. I’m reminded of the old saying... “necessity is the mother of invention”. So it’s possible. But I’d call it the longest of long shots. -
