Packers guard Lane Taylor is making a strong case to start in Week 1. Starting jobs on the right side of the offensive line are open this summer, but Green Bay Packers guard Lane Taylor is making a strong case for why he should be one of the starters. After missing most of the 2019

When Wagner was healthy, I believe Turner was in the starting lineup everyday, making the three player battle for two spots, seems like a two player (Taylor/Wagner) battle for the last spot and Turner taking the other. So the coaching staff seem to like Turner.

But as a few articles have pointed out, in pervious years Lane Taylor has seemed to have graded out better than Billy Turner past year, and Turner struggled in pass blocking at RG, that isn't expected to get better by moving to RT (though he'll have some chip block help, but generally going against even more athletic pass rushers).

So it's nice to hear Taylor is stepping it up, and making it a good competition and hopefully improving the OL. Seems like we should be alright at RG, but still questionable at RT.

So if Turner moves from RG to RT, his relative weakness in pass blocking could be more of an issue.

I hope this signifies depth vs. a lot of mediocrity.

I bet that practicing against the Smiths is extremely helpful for our tackles

Listening to practice reports the lower edge rushers are lighting it up and everyone (including me) gets excited... then I realize whom they're practicing against and figure out that MIGHT be why they're lighting it up.


Right now at OT we got Bak, Wagner, Turner, Light and a whole bunch of wishful potential that usually doesn't develop... (though Yosh Nijman has high potential that MIGHT (probably not) develop in 2 to 4 years but he got injured last year and still now medical cleared from it yet)


Bak is Bak, great in pass protection, I'll be interested in seeing if he's improved his run blocking now that he's finally in a second season of a scheme that emphasizes it equally to pass blocking.

Wagner can be pretty good if he stays healthy, he hasn't stayed healthy the last two years and got injured in camp, left arm, no rumors on where he might be back.

Turner struggled with pass blocking at RG, which might only get worse if he plays at RT, though some think he'll be much better run blocking edge rushers than DT and you can try to help him with TE/RB/FB chip blocking as Bak probably won't need it.

Light, last year, struggled very badly against NFL power, he's athletic enough to get in the way of the defender, but was weak enough that the defender then put him in the way of the offense player with the ball. On the bright side, in theory you should be able to improve that power, though it took Bak a little while too, and so far there are no rumors that Light has actually done this.

Zero2Cool (2h) : DL Coach DeMarcus Covington
dfosterf (4h) : from ft Belvoir, Quantico and points south. Somber reminder of this tragedy at Reagan Nat Airport

dfosterf (4h) : So eeri
Mucky Tundra (8h) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?
beast (9h) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.
beast (9h) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.
Mucky Tundra (9h) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired
beast (12h) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.
Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!
buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.
buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.
packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was
TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)
beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab
Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?
Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me
Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not
Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!
beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋
Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.
dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.
beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you
