So, it'll be 12s fault if offense struggles today while getting no help from his RT? Let's be sane and realize our lack of OL depth will be to blame here.

---

True, but I'm also thinking a lot of chip blocking, block for a second or two and then get out in the route... Basically make sure they can't speed around (I assume) Murphy, but have to go through him, which is what they did with Barclay starting at RT that one season.


I'm wondering if their OL is still crappy, they attempted to reload it. But their TE, looked like he might of finally adjusted to the system.

---

Their OL is bad. Lost LT Fant. It's awful so don't get too excited if we have success against them.

---

I would caution getting excited or disappointed because it is just one game.

---

If you must be concerned about something , pray for GB's CB's vs Seattle . [whead]

Hopefully Spriggs' horrible preaseason play was a smokescreen...😁

What does “no help” mean? RT steps aside and lets the DE through? I don't think that'll happen.

And “Blame” is for little whiny bitches.

It is not a video game! The goal is WINNING the Game, not "blaming" or winning individual statistical battles. Here’s a NE phrase: “everybody do their [effing] job.”

Here’s some FACTS:

Joe Thomas has led or been at top of league several years according to PFF stat of Pass Blocking efficiency [PBE]. His grade is in the low 90’s/high 80’s. This is an all-Pro, I’d say HOF, Tackle.

Here’s top 10 2014 tackles in PBE when QB gets rid of ball by 2 seconds.

Joe Thomas-99.88
Jordan Gross 99.67
Tyler Polumbus 99.26
Terron Armstead 99.24
Michael Oher 99.23
Jason Peters 99.22
Byron Bell 99.17
Zach Strief 99.13
Demar Dotson 99.13
Trent Williams 99.01


Here’s top 10 at 2.5 seconds:

Jordan Gross 97.65
Joe Thomas96.44
Tyler Polumbus 95.33
Joe Staley 95.13
Demar Dotson 95.10
Zach Strief 95.06
Sebastian Vollmer 95.05
Tyron Smith 94.44
Russell Okung 94.44
Jason Peters 94.13

If Rodgers gets rid of ball in 2 seconds, our RT will have a PBE grade of 98-99, which will make him the greatest T of all time.

At 2.5 seconds; our RT will probably have a PBE in high 80’s/low 90’s. So it will be as if our RT a HOFer or Joe Thomas.

If Rodgers takes sacks instead of getting rid of ball; he will be the one that ends that drive, not the RT. If he holds on the ball TOO EFFING LONG…Yes, our offense will look like crap.

If the RT cant give Rodgers more than 2.5-2.75 seconds to throw and the offense stinks and you want to "blame” the RT, that’s okay; as long as the next words out of your mouth are, “why are we paying Rodgers $22M, god dammit, if we need 10 all pros surrounding our QB, we’d be just as good with Mark Sanchez.”

To “blame” RT and then say Rodgers is GOAT, is like saying, “I support the alt-right; but I’m not a racist.”

Rodgers does hold the ball but not all sacks are the same. A lot of his come on 3rd down which I'm ok with since throwing the ball away = a turnover anyways. As long as we aren't in FG range go ahead and try to make that play on 3rd down. 1st and 2nd yeah with Murphy at RT he's gotta get rid of it quick today.

Bulaga officially out.

I remember Barclay's first start. No one had ever heard of him. He had been on that fake FG where Havner (?) went in for a 37 yard TD against Chicago, but no one had ever really seen him PLAY.

EVERYONE thought the season was gonna be OVER. I mean this dude was a scrub, right?

Turned out he did great. Saved the season for us that year. Granted dude hasn't been the same since the knee injury, and he never was exactly all pro before that, but the FACT is, everyone thought we were doomed. We weren't.

Let's wait and see what Murphy looks like. The natural grass should slow things down for him.
