Top notch athlete. Poor man's Jason Spriggs but at guard?

Love this pick. Probably needs a year in the weight room and practice squad but he just might be the future at guard. He's got the athletic ability for sure.

When asked about what other positions he has played (other than LT), Kofi said he played Center as a college freshmen, before moving to RT and the LT.

So I'm thinking Kofi is (at worse) the future back-up Center. At best, he might be able to earn a starting spot in the middle somewhere.

He'll be groomed to play guard, probably eventually switch Lane Taylor over to right guard and let this guy play left. I guess we have to see if he is better than Lucas Patrick first. Signing Jahri Evans to play right guard while Campen figures out his young players was a good move.

I really hated losing Tretter. The reason I thought he was better than Lindsley was his ability to snap the ball, pull out and the lead the stretch play.

Kofi Amichia is the same height as Tretter and they're both shorter than Barclay, who are the guys we had working center last year.

And some remember that maybe the Packers best OL in the early 2000s had Center Mike Flanagan, who was taller than any of these guys at 6'5"

Zero2Cool (15h) : Tomorrow high 32° and low 19°

beast (21h) : Thanks Mucky!

Mucky Tundra (27-Nov) : beast, forecast is looking like 27-28 degrees at kickoff, slight chance of snow flurries

Zero2Cool (27-Nov) : Oh? It wasn't on the injury report. That sucks, but it's what is best.

packerfanoutwest (26-Nov) : Doubs is out due to concussion

beast (26-Nov) : What does the weather look like?

Martha Careful (26-Nov) : You can wear long-johns mittens and a hat. We want Hill and their other skill guys FROZEN

Zero2Cool (26-Nov) : I'm not sure I hope for that. I'll be at the game.

Martha Careful (25-Nov) : I hope it is colder than a well-diggers ass on Thanksgiving night.

Zero2Cool (25-Nov) : doubt he wants to face the speedsters

beast (25-Nov) : Dolphins offense can be explosive... I wonder if we'll have Alexander back

Zero2Cool (25-Nov) : No Doubs could be issue Thursday

Mucky Tundra (25-Nov) : Bears. Santos. Blocked FG

Zero2Cool (24-Nov) : Bears. Vikings. OT

Mucky Tundra (24-Nov) : Thems the breaks I guess

Mucky Tundra (24-Nov) : Two players out and Williams had an injury designation this week but Oladapo is a healthy scratch

Zero2Cool (24-Nov) : Packers inactives vs 49ers: • CB Jaire Alexander • S Kitan Oladapo • LB Edgerrin Cooper • OL Jacob Monk

TheKanataThrilla (24-Nov) : Aaron Jones with a costly red zone fumble

Zero2Cool (24-Nov) : When we trade Malik for a 1st rounder, we'll need a new QB2.

packerfanoutwest (23-Nov) : Report: Aaron Rodgers wants to play in 2025, but not for the Jets

beast (23-Nov) : That's what I told the Police officer about my speed when he pulled me over

packerfanoutwest (23-Nov) : NFL told Bears that Packers’ blocked field goal was legal

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (22-Nov) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.
