GREEN BAY — David Bakhtiari wasn't worried about his NFL preseason debut, and no one else should have been worried either.

The Green Bay Packers rookie fourth-round pick, who assumed the starting left tackle job after Bryan Bulaga was lost for the season to a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee suffered last Saturday in the annual Family Night Scrimmage, held up well and was one of the few bright spots in the Packers' 17-0 shutout loss to the Arizona Cardinals Friday night at Lambeau Field.

"I didn't feel overwhelmed. That's probably the best way to put it," Bakhtiari said. "I didn't feel overwhelmed at all."

Bakhtiari started with left guard Josh Sitton, center Evan Dietrich-Smith, right guard T.J. Lang and right tackle Marshall Newhouse. The other four went out after the opening, Aaron Rodgers-led series, while Bakhtiari stayed in the game. Newhouse came back later and rotated at right tackle with Don Barclay.

"He's been playing well all camp, and he played well tonight," Sitton said. Asked if he could tell that Bakhtiari played well without watching film, Sitton replied, "You know. You don't know 100 percent, but Aaron didn't get hit, and we have a couple fits on runs that I was pleased with."

Said Bakhtiari: "They didn't call anything, didn't show anything that was alarming where I was, 'Josh, what are we doing? What are we doing?' It was a nice, smooth transition, so I didn't feel too many jitters or brain farts."

Bakhtiari played roughly 35 snaps. The one sack on Graham Harrell that was the line's fault — a sack/fumble by John Abraham — came against Newhouse. Bakhtiari may have had one or two poor run blocks but was solid throughout.

During the snaps I watched him. Dude seems nasty man. He kept attacking his defender like they stole his last condom and Jessica Alba was in his room waiting.

I was really encouraged by his play. If he continues to build on this game, we are set at left tackle.

Now we just need to figure out what to do at right tackle.

These kids heads are spinning repping at all this different positions. I think Barclay is the season solution at RT though. Newhouse backs up the others.

I thought Bakhtiari looked pretty clumsy on at least a few plays, honestly, at least early on. I'm sure that was mostly a result of technique and footwork, which he should be able to improve upon. However, I expect some nasty road bumps throughout the season with him. Fortunately for Packer fans, we're used to that when it comes to the offensive line.

As a said, the few I'm thinking about weren't pretty, that's for sure. I was trying to take in the whole game, so I wasn't only focused on him, so hopefully it was only a few plays. Probably nothing to stress about, but I saw enough to make me believe there are going to be some very bad moments at times this season.

Well than expect a true test next week. The team that made Brian Bulaga a fool last season will be lining up against him in 7 days. I will pray for him and "the franchise".

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire
