Packers offensive lineman Elgton Jenkins started Thursday night's game at left guard. After injuries forced Green Bay to shuffle its offensive linemen, Jenkins moved over to left tackle. And for the last few snaps of the Packers' blowout win, Jenkins played center. Afterward, Packers coach Matt LaFleur praised Jenkins for having the versatility to play [more]

Now a stud DT might be a different story... still wish the Packers traded for DL Calais Campbell.

I think Jenkins, Patrick and Runyan make a pretty good interior for the future. Of course Jenkins might need to help out at OT, and we'll need another to step up inside, but we have a couple interior draft picks this last year other than Runyan. But also still think they should consider drafting another OT (and DT and CB).

I have to fess up....I was ragging on Turner all of last year.

Nevertheless, I know he has not been going against Bosa or all start talent, but he has done a fine job both at LT and RT. I think he is a better tackle than guard.

Jenkins versatility is great as well. Runyan looked good in his first meaningful action.

Overall an excellent night for the Oline albeit against a banged up (but still pretty good) dline.

Also, we were kinda right about Wagner. He's alright, but struggles.

Runyan has been in a number of games already this season. And looked fairly well in most (very good if you consider he's a late round rookie).

Guards are typically in power i.e. 'lower gear' positions. Turner seems a bit more nimble and better feet (and hands) relative to the typical "road grader" aspects of the guard position.

I am glad he can do both.
