What would Defenses do?

Assuming Bakhtiari is back and healthy, how do you think a defense would handle Tretter reporting as eligible and lining up as an extra lineman/TE. With Rodgers under Center, Lacy/Starks in the backfield, Jones and Cobb split out and R.Rodgers able to line up tight our Wide.

Tretter was a TE so he should be able to catch. Do they bring in another Dlineman who could be exposed in trying to cover in the passing game. Or do they try to line a LBer on him which should give us an advantage in run blocking.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

We get some pass protection we get some yards simple as that. I liked tretters play after the safety. He was pretty solid

Tretter is a pretty valuable player. He can back up all 5 positions. Anything we can do to get more should be tried.

Well the defense would be able to just take the play off because you would have 12 men on the field lol. 😝 But if its one or the other Starks or Lacy in the backfield i don't see the defense doing anything different then their regular defense. It's your basic goalline play. But if they got creative and put say Clay in as the option qb (aka Houston and JJ) then I might give them a thumbs up even though it wouldn't gain any yards and probably fumble lol.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
