It’s Time To Worry About Bakhtiari

It wasn't shocking to find out David Bakhtiari will be sitting out offseason workouts, but it was still troubling. After resting his bothersome left knee for five months, it would've been nice to see the perennial All-Pro taking snaps with the starters rather than rehabbing with players who were injured many months after he suffered [...]

Will worrying help? If he is ready to play, great. If not go with plan B. Not much to worry about.

I also believe one of those rookies will step up, become a competent LT.

If you want to want to worry, worry. If you don't, don't.

However DB69's participation, or lack thereof, in these OTA should not be the reason. The guy knows the offense inside out....what is the point of his participation?!?!? Seriously?

What if he tweaked his knee in these OTA's? Everyone would be bitching about his participation in meaningless reps to be stupid (and they are.) He should participate to show US he is ok? So we can feel warm and fuzzy? Grow up.

Give the reps to the young guys.

I think it was Ken Ruttgers who always sat out the July August two a days, with a lame excuse or contract dispute, then 2 weeks before the season came to terms. By his 5th or 6th year, he didn't need the reps and 2-a-days, were, and are, a giant pain in the ass, especially for an experienced tackle.

I would rather see the reps go to the kids.

Go Packers!!!!

My biggest worry is all the money pissed away in his contract extension. His injury occured before the ink was dry. Sucks for everyone if he cant get back on the field this year.

Late in Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's career he needed some minor surgery. I forget the details let's pretend he needed to have his knee scoped to clean up some debris. He waited until practice started again before he had the work done. When the media complained and asked him why he waited so long. He could have had it done right after the last season ended. If he had it done sooner he wouldn't miss any games. His response was that he was on vacation. He didn't want to be hobbled and going through the recovery process while on vacation when he could do that in training camp and the first part of the season. He pointed out that he would still be there when the playoffs rolled around and that was the important part of the season.

beast (3h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (3h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (4h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (4h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (5h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (5h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (5h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (5h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (5h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (5h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (6h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (6h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (6h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (6h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (6h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (6h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (6h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (6h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (6h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (6h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (6h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (6h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (6h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (6h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (7h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (7h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (7h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night

Mucky Tundra (7h) : ok scratch that

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Game feels like last years Super Bowl: 49ers started off in control, moved the ball well but didn't have much of a lead to show for it

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : KC jumped and they call it on Eagles. WTF refs

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : If he was offside why did you let him pop the QB?

TheKanataThrilla (7h) : I like that Eagles are controlling time of possession so far.

Mucky Tundra (7h) : If the Eagles are going to win, this is how they do it: jump all over the Chiefs and don't let it turn into a close one

TheKanataThrilla (8h) : Bad throw created that penalty.

TheKanataThrilla (8h) : Amazed Philly got that hit to the helmet call.
