Bring a couple of posts over here to talk about the job the line did today. The backups really did the job.

I really wasn't expecting a win with how banged up the OL is. Wow. How did Aaron Donald not kill us?

dfosterf (22h) : Thats a major prop to Gute. I was wondering about his point of emphasis regarding the o line. I don't wonder anymore



He really threw curveball drafting 3 lineman in this draft after drafting 3 the previous year. C was a need for sure but I don't think anyone was really worried about the starting oline and the depth. Nailing your oline picks is a gonna go a long way in helping your other picks on offense.

I'm not sure if it's Gutey valuing guards more than Thompson did. I think he just wanted depth for now and to have some guys for the future. Plus he went about about it in such a wide net approach. Drafted Runyan, Hanson and Stepaniak with late picks with the idea of "want a starting NFL offensive lineman? Draft 3 guys from college and hope one pans out." With Myers it's paying a high pick for a premium player. Newman is the classic "mid round guy who needs an offseason of workouts." Van Lanen is another late round project. Yosh was an UDFA with all the measurables but no technique. It's possible that all the starters for the 2023 line already on the roster even if they let Turner and Bakh go between now and then.

Oh I was worried about OL especially because I didn't know when Bakh might be healthy and I didn't trust Nijman. So I thought the Packers had no depth at OT and C.

As for curve ball of drafting 3 OL after drafting 3 OL... to a certain degree I disagree. Because while they did draft 6 OL in the last two years, they only drafted two of those in the top 5 rounds.

So 4 OL we're selected in the 6th round... if those late selection develop you're lucky... and honestly I wasn't excited about Hanson's or Stepaniak potential from the start...

That being said, the Newman selection did surprise me, but that's because I thought the Packers really needed better depth at DT, CB and S and I thought there were good options at those positions (in fact 4 of the next 12 selections after Newman were Safeties) and the Packers next two selections were DT and CB.

Zero2Cool (21h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (21h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (21h) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.

Zero2Cool (21h) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???

dfosterf (22h) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (22h) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (22h) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
