Micheal Rodney, spreading the click bait bullshit every writer who needs followers.

45 of the 53 sacks last year came after 4.5 seconds.

Let's not let facts get in the way of your bullshit Micheal!

Hopefully Aaron decides he wants to run Lefleurs offense this year, that should take care of most of the problem.

Aaron got his hand picked coach, he probably doesn't want to embarrass him and get him fired
Packers will be fine.

The Packers were in the middle of the NFL both in terms of success rate of running on 1st and 10 (per attempt) and success in making it on 3rd and short when rushing.

I wasn't, thanks for posting these stats! I've been telling you the OL/rushing isn't as bad as you're saying.

Percentage/Average Stat
#2 in yards per carry
#1 in first down per carry
#18 in stuffs per carry
#13 on percentage 3rd and short conversion
#3 in TDs on runs percentage inside the 3 yard line
#32 in rushing percentage
#2 on yards per carry of the first 10 rushes in a game
#11 on yards per carry of the 11-20 rushes in a game
Other than the stuffs, the Packers are in the top 13 in all rushing percentage/average numbers

Total stats (which are strongly effected by the fact the Packers are #32 in rushing attempts)
#14 in rushing first downs
#6 in fumbles lost (negative stat), HORRIBLE considering the low rushing attempts... and looks like most were on QBs as the Aaron Jones and Williams totaled for 1 all year)
#15 in rushes over 10 yards
#27 in stuffed (negative stat) (being #32 in rushing attempts helps this stat)
#21 in rushing yards on 1st and 10 (not surprising considering low rushing attempts)

These numbers are telling as it concerns ability to run the ball when it counts , and it would seem the Packers were not horrible, just average.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, The need (at least) a very good, and I would prefer dominant right guard and adequate back up at right tackle.

Regardless, wouldn’t you rather Aaron approve of the coach & get along with him, as opposed to not liking the hire & butting heads with him the entire time? Only makes sense & I personally am glad that his opinion may have been part of the hire.

You're free to state it, of course, but yeah, to say he hand picked Matt LaFleur? No. Nothing even comes close to supporting that opinion, yet you keep throwing it down our throats as if it's fact.

Mainly because no one actually respects the run game when you always abandon it in critical situations and the fact that every defense respects Rodgers' ability quite a bit.

It's the same as with Coleman for the Falcons or Kamara for the Saints. Defenses, understandably, just don't respect the run. None of those runners got over 200 carries on the year, while posting 4.6, 4.8 en 5.5 ypc.

Again, I think our O-line is pretty good, though, and that the sensationalist headline used by Micheal Rodney is pure BS. Haven't read it any further, as I refuse to get him more ad revenue by posting bullshit clickbait.

That said, if you just look at the PFF numbers, it's pretty clear our guards can use an upgrade, much like the eye-test already proved to most. Bell, especially, is nowhere near a starting-caliber player.

LT - David Bakhtiari - 88.4 (Nr. 1 T)
LG - Lane Taylor - 64.3 (Nr. 25 G)
C - Corey Linsley - 73.7 (Nr. 7 C)
RG - Byron Bell - 47.4 (Nr. 72 G)
RT - Bryan Bulaga - 75.0 (Nr. 20 T)

I just don't agree with KRK about agressively pursuing guards, who hold very little positional value, early on in the draft or spending big in free agency. It's a hole you can fill with a day 2 selection or just a cheap guy in FA. I'd love to see us get a guy like Levitre in for a year and just draft two T/Gs on day 3.

Levitre should come relatively cheap at 33 years of age and having lost the 2018 season to injury and guards is pretty much the position to draft and develop.

I think you’re half right. Is my understanding that Lane Taylor was hurt a lot of the year. He was decent in previous years. So let’s assume that’s the case. But I fundamentally disagree that the position has a weak value such that you can scheme around a weak link at right guard and expect to be a top level offense. I’m not saying you’re wrong and I’m right, I’m saying we have a difference in philosophy.

I also believe that there’s something fundamentally to be improved about the way our line run blocks. Perhaps it’s scheme, and perhaps it’s coaching. If our general manager and the new head coach didn’t believe that, Campen would still be here.

However, IMO, if you want to have a Super Bowl caliber offense, you can’t keep patching has/beens and never-weres at the right guard position.

My preferred move would be to get Massey at right tackle from the Bears, weakening them and strengthening us. You slide Bulaga into right guard, thus strengthening two positions and giving yourself a back up at right tackle. Plan B is Saffold from the Rams.

KRK, I half agree with you. As great as Bulaga has been, time waits for no man. He also has become more injury troubled too. A ready starting OT from the draft is difficult to come by. The step up to the NFL level, to me, is like going from catching a 6 lb Bass to landing a 600 lb Tuna. The weight and endurance training alone requires from 1 to 2 seasons. Also the greater speed of the game requires an adjustment s well. That is why GB and other teams acquire good linemen from the top quality colleges and get them ready to replace a Bulaga or other in the near future.

If I were building a team from scratch, I'd begin with the BEEF on the O and D lines. They are the foundation of a team and all else grows from the strong roots that the lines must furnish. I'd cheer if GB were to choose a OT first in the April draft, but I suspect that an Edge Rusher will be GB's first choice. That is also a great way to go as well.

Perhaps the FA market will resolve this choice and make GB's first draft pick a more agreed upon one.

As for the Saints, I don't think we can say teams don't respect Kamara... he touched the ball 275 times, that's one touch short of doubling the next higher Saints weapon (which was another RB), so in some respects that Saints (Rams and Patriots) offenses is/are built around getting the RB going to opening up the passing game for Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara.

And less than 15 players in the NFL had 200 carries... less than 10 had 220 carries... again that's more a coaching decision of going with a single featured RB or multiple RBs and injuries. David Johnson, Jordan Howard and Peyton Barber all got over 230 carries and less than 4 yards per carry... I don't think defenses necessary respect them, heck I wasn't even sure what team Barber was on... and I was more concerned about a different Bears RB (Tarik Cohen) when we faced them.

As I believe KRK said, reportedly Taylor was banged up though out the year... but he seems to be an average NFL starting OG (we have just gotten used to above average OGs with Sitton/Lang), but I honestly believe simply running the ball more often and having short pass plays, would help the OL a hell of a lot... all these 3.5+ extending the play forever is putting max pressure on the OL... and the OGs (who are less talented) are at times failing to hold up.

But I fundamentally disagree that the position has a weak value such that you can scheme around a weak link at right guard and expect to be a top level offense. I’m not saying you’re wrong and I’m right, I’m saying we have a difference in philosophy.

When one is actually willing to scheme around (and not locked into a single philosophy, or unwilling to consider anything outside their philosophy), a single weak interior OL is easiest position to scheme around...

My preferred move would be to get Massey at right tackle from the Bears, weakening them and strengthening us. You slide Bulaga into right guard, thus strengthening two positions and giving yourself a back up at right tackle. Plan B is Saffold from the Rams.

In fairness, I don't think the Molder of Rocks was saying that guards don't have much value to the scheme or the offense. I think he was saying that they don't have much financial value and that therefore there's no point in wasting money chasing talent in the high rounds of the draft. Equivalent talent can be obtained more affordably in later rounds or in free agency.
