Like I've said, the first spot I think I'm putting Tom is at LT. His pass protection is his clear strength, his power game is his clearly weakness. LT is hugely graded in pass protection and hopefully he can learn about handling the power from a similar style player in Bakhtiari. They could boom or bust, Bakhtiari boomed.

That's at least if we don't have to work him as a backup Center. Though maybe we can work him at both LT and C.

I see Tom moving to the right side. More than likely RG. At least after Meyer returns to play RT. Since he has been on the left side in his college career, it will take him a little time to get his footwork down.

I am not worried about his strength. After a couple of months with Chris Gizzi and the rest of the S&C crew he will be ready to take on almost any DLinemen he faces.

"Meyer returns to play RT"? You mean Elgton? I see Elgton going back to LG. I think Yosh will win the starting RT job. They have said all 3 rookie tackles will get shot at winning that RT spot as well. I just think Yosh will be the one to win it.

If Elgton is healthy...the starting five week 1 will be:

LT- Bakh

LG- Elgton

C- Josh Myers

RG- Runyan

RT- Yosh

All the rooks provide more valuable depth. Royce Newman is depth as well. He needs to up his game before he can be starter again. Runyan twice the G at either spot that Newman is.

Nope. He's our best RT. Yosh is backup.

Yosh could start at either tackle spot, but obviously he won't beat out Bakh at LT. They like Yosh more than I think you realize. That is why when Bakh and Elgton were both out Yosh was the one that became the starter at LT. Not Dennis Kelly or Billy or anyone else. Yes, they made the mistake of not starting Yosh at tackle in the playoff game and the line was a absolute mess. LaFleur, Steno, and Butkus know not to make that mistake again. Yosh will get his shot to make RT his and I think he will seize it.

We will see how the 3 rooks look in camp. Gute said: "I would think the coaches will take a look at all 3 of those tackles at RT." Gute obviously views all 3 rooks as OTs more than anything else.

beast (10h) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (12h) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (13h) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (13h) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (13h) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : They have that whole 12th man thing so ...

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Of the times we've played there, I just can't recall hearing our fans.

wpr (16-Dec) : Well done jdlax. Well done.

wpr (16-Dec) : I think more likely to be Pack fans that live in the area.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : That was crazy to hear go pack go in Seattle of all plays. That 12 man thing an all

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, good man!

jdlax (16-Dec) : Mucky, there were too many of us there to credit any single one but for sure i was 60% responsible.
