"There are two things you can count on with the Green Bay Packers as long as Ted Thompson is the general manager and Mike McCarthy the head coach.

They will always build from within.

They will always demand versatility from their offensive linemen.

The Packers are three days removed from losing their starting left tackle, Chad Clifton, to a career-threatening hamstring injury, and 2½ weeks from losing starting right tackle Bryan Bulaga to a sprained knee, and how many veteran players did they have in this week for tryouts?

Zero.

Instead of inviting available veterans like Reggie Wells, Max Jean-Gilles, Shawn Andrews, Rich Seubert and Mark Tauscher in for a look-see, they went immediately to practice-squad rookie Ray Dominguez to fill a hole."
