Short armed tackles like Riley Reiff’s former teammate Brian Bulaga have always found success on the left side of the line (sarcasm). Stafford better hope this guy stays on the right and they eventually get a real left tackle
—————————

Reiff’s arms are longer than both Joe Thomas and Jake Long. Also, wrestlers tend to do well at tackle cuz they stay low by bending their knees as opposed to the waist.

That sucks for you. Just chalk it up to another reason why California is the best, mainly So. Cal.

I’ve been to the sweltering jungles of Sumatra, but nothing was worse than the heat/humidity I felt in Boston in summer. What a nightmare! Then snow and miserable cold weather in the winter??

Nah, 72* and partly cloudy is how I like my weather. Some 9balls grandma used to say:” California is the land of fruits and nuts”, and she was right. But in terms of weather, nothing beats it.

Winter is for suckers. Sweltering summers is for those who don’t know any better.

I am very thankful for being a 4th generation (non-hispanic) Californian- I don’t have to deal with suspect weather, just a regular influx of transplants looking for the goods.

Bulaga never played or was considered to be a LT in the NFL. He will, however, be an All-Pro RT soon.

Starting Cherilus is bad, starting Reiff is good

But I guess that kind of thing happens every year: the bad teams screw things up reaching at the top of the draft while the playoff teams just sit there and wait for solid players to fall to them in the 20′s.
