I know that Jeff Linkenbach came so cheaply that they could possibly have brought him aboard as competition for Johnson at the backup, while the high pick G takes the starter spot, but I just can't buy that Dorsey is as thick-headed as Andy Reid is when it comes to the offensive line.
Dorsey has tried to fix the Packers' tackle situation with first rounders in Bulaga and Sherrod in consecutive years. He's rotated in veterans that were long ago acquired by the team (TJ Lang, Jason Spitz, Josh Sitton) with young players acquired through the middle rounds of the draft (Evan Dietrich-Smith, Marshall Newhouse). Two of those depth players (Lang, Dietrich-Smith) were promoted to starter after Dorsey left and played phenomenally.
Dorsey has final say. I have a hard time thinking he'll go guard. I don't think he will.
