I have been a staunch Bulger supporter for quite some time, but I must admit I am getting a bit worried. I was throwing last season out the window, but if he doesn't start looking better he might be benched. Linehan knows his job is on the line and if Bulger is atrocious he will be taken out. I'm not sure what the issue is. There is still the chance that this is just a minor funk, but if it is something bigger I think it be that he has become tenative and nervous because of the thrashings he has been taking for years. Warner's play also dropped noticably after some injuries due to repeated big hits. In particular concussions. I don't remember Bulger having a concussion, but I could be wrong. His arm also might not be what he is used to it being after all of the damage it has taken and he may be having some difficulty adjusting to it. I'm definitely not jumping on the "Start Trent Green Train" yet, but I will admit it has become more a possibility now than I ever thought it would.
