C: T.J. Lang
RG: David Bakhtiari
RT: Bryan Bulaga

I really don't see the fascination with Bakhtiari. He did NOT play well, and being undersized, he probably doesn't have a very high ceiling, potential-wise. And everybody seems to forget how bad Bulaga played even before his injury - was he somehow playing hurt and will come back like his old self? I hope so. Sherrod better make a giant step forward in the off-season. Otherwise, we are probably stuck with Bakhtiari - another season of perpetual pressure on Rodgers and no ability to run other than up the middle.

You should start a topic explaining how to properly rate players so the rest of us have a clue as to how you do it. Currently, I don't think you even watch the games and you just spitball your analysis.

I wonder how much film study Sherrod's done during his time off (for what it's worth)?

I would definitely like to see the line improve with both former 1st round picks finally healthy.
I would like to see the middle of the line stay intact meaning resigning EDS. From there, IF Bulaga is clearly the best option at LT then certainly put him there. If Bakhtiari makes that 2nd year jump you look for then by all means keep him there. If Sherrod shows up like they originally thought he could be GREAT!

I think it's safe to be optimistic with the three in the middle and with both young/improving and healthier/talented players I can see a hell of a competitive camp coming up.

Like I say, keep the middle intact, and let the war on the outside begin. Not a bad place to be IMO. I think it results in a better Oline with more depth then in the past which allows Ted Thompson to do what he needs elsewhere.

As I recall, Bulaga did not play a regular season down this season. Granted he did great in camp and what little he played in preseason, but he did NOT do all that great last season - a step downward with no injury that I can recall as a reason. I HOPE as much as anybody he comes back healthy and good, because it is very unlikely we get O-Line help in the draft. I'm just saying, it ain't a sure thing. I HOPE Sherrod plays like a first rounder too, because Bakhtiari sure wasn't all that impressive - and I wonder what you guys were watching if you think he was.

He only played better than the top overall pick and the other top 5 Olineman who were taken in that same draft.

With a full offseason to practice I think Bakthiari can gel the LT position and Bulaga can then play RT while Sherrod gets some kind of injury or battles with Newhouse to backup Barclay at backup tackle.

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”
