I think McCarthy is trying to be respectful to Chad Clifton who has battled through painful injuries his whole career.

How big is that draft pick looking now?
Not only has Clifton been injured, his play has declined over the last couple years. He struggled against Philly and was pushed back against the Bills as well.
Personally, what better way to start Bulaga off than against Peppers? If he starts to struggle, you put Crabtree on his side to help him out.
The list of good DEs the Packers will have to face this year is long. A match up against Peppers is a great introduction to the NFC North and the left tackle position in the NFL. If Clifton is hurt at all, you start Bulaga.
