Does MM and Ted Thompson fully know the plan? They are HOPING just like we have to now that SOMEONE can fill that void. ONE player on our roster has taken a snap at G this pre-season...ONE. Lane Taylor. We have Don Barclay and two freaking rooks as backups on our OL. One of them is ...Kyle Murphy. The depth is beyond terrible. It's frightening.

Our run game might improve and if MM was really serious about running it then this makes some sense to me because Sitton was far from an asset in the run game. Just curious to see if Aaron gets broken ribs from a 330lb DT because of the replacement who goes in for Sitton who was literally the Great Wall of China of pass blocking.

Can not stand this TRUST THE ORG mantra. Why trust it? Did you see it last year? Did it look very trustworthy all last season? How about 4th quarter in Seattle and OT? You call out things regardless if you love them or not. Blind faith is no faith at all. It's pure yuck.

Amazing how Eggels get a 1st for a proven loser glass QB.

Ted can't even get a 7th for an all-pro gaurd

Edit ...
QB average $5,583,390
G average $1,857,078

For fun, how about you check into the Salaries of Quarterbacks vs Guards in the NFL. 🤣

So, 7 million for Bradford the QB this year, and $6,074,224 million for Sitton last year.

We literally don't know who is starting where on the OL in Jax. Doesn't sound like a great plan to me.

I think the Packers have a long-term plan in place. It's not Lane Taylor or Don Barclay, so let's just try to chill.

Here are some options:

1. Move J.C. Tretter to guard and keep a healthy Corey Linsley at center. (Obviously, not happening in the short-term.)
2. Move Bryan Bulaga to guard and play Jason Spriggs at right tackle.
3. Kick David Bakhtiari inside to guard; Start Jason Spriggs at Left Tackle.

Frankly, I think the third option is where we are going with this. I thought they drafted Bakhtiari to play right tackle or guard. I never saw him as a left tackle. He doesn't have the quickness or the measurables. Spriggs does. If you draw up a left tackle on paper, then it'll look a lot like him. He has the size, quickness, and strength to man the position for a decade. Honestly, I think this is what's going to happen.

LT: Briggs
LG: Bakhtiari
C: Tretter
RG: Lang
RT: Bulaga

With that said, I'm not sure I'm comfortable seeing the Packers shuffle guys around their offensive line this late in the process. They could have easily trotted out the above lineup in 2017, and rolled with what they had in 2016. Perhaps Spriggs impressed them so much, that they can't keep him off the field. That's my theory. I just don't know how I feel about it, yet.

Chill? Shuffle the line a week before season to a guy who has taken zero snaps all pre season?

This is where road always forks and I get into trouble. So many blindly support the org and get pissed when you give them valid reasons not to. I'm not the bad guy. You want to come together as if consensus makes this a good move. It doesn't.

The move was stupid whether you love the Pack or hate them.

wpr (51m) : Slow posting in Fan shout.
wpr (51m) : Only 4
wpr (52m) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (3h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (4h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
