The more I watch, the more I say the Packers coaches need to bench Newman and get Nijman on the field with Jenkins and Bakhtiari.


Okay, I get it, you believe in Bakhtiari and Jenkins as your best OTs, and that's fine... but plug Nijman into OG then...

I don't care if Nijman not the best fit at OG, Newman on the field isn't the best fit either...

Packers could have a truely elite pass blocking OL with Bakhtiari, Jenkins, Nijman, Runyan and Myers.

Yeah, their run blocking might just be slightly above average... but Aaron Jones has been absolutely excellent in making people miss, and when you get Dillon started he's hard to stop.

Based on what I read in the article linked below, Jenkins is not moving to Guard. And Yosh will aim to be a swing Tackle.

“I think mostly it’s just him getting out there and feeling comfortable and just going through it. There’s going to be some ups and downs. But one guy I’m not worried about is Elgton. Just the way he prepares every day and his mindset, I think he’s only going to get better every week.”
- OC Adam Stenavich

“Every week, we’re evaluating who’s our best five. Right now, I think Elgton’s the guy for the right tackle job. It’s just going to be this week by week watching him get better and going. But, yeah, there is a discussion of putting Yosh at right tackle. Then again, you’re moving Yosh to a new position and he’s going to go through some growing pains, too. It’s in the discussion, but that’s about all I’m going to say about it.”
- OC Adam Stenavich

Who should be the five OL for Packers now that we got Little David back?

Although, this might not be the "best five" individuals, I think it's the best group. And I believe the sum of the parts is more important than the individual parts.

LT - David Bakhtiari
LG - Elgton Jenkins
C - Josh Myers
RG - Jon Runyan Jr
RT - Yosh Nijman

Consider this. Among starters, only Kirk Cousins has faced a higher percentage of pressure because of his RG than Aaron Rodgers according to ProFootballFocus.

But I agree... they need someone better than Newman. And Nijman has (so far) been outplaying Bakhtiari at LT.

So I'm sure Bakhtiari would hate it, but I'd ask him to go to the right side...

LT: Nijman
LG: Runyan
OC: Myers
RG: Jenkins, Bakhtiari or Tom
RT: Jenkins, Bakhtiari or Tom

And just to be clear, Tom played worse than Newman in his one game, but at least maybe there is upside potential, and maybe it'll piss Newman off and he'll play better.

Runyan played better after being benched.

Our O-line is terrible. Can't run block, can't pass block.
And Aaron Rodgers can't hit the open guy.

That means you definitely need Yosh to be the dedicated back-up LT in case he has to step in or rotate with Bakh. Which means, you need a RT who can be committed to that position - which the Packers have chosen as Jenkins. The risk of playing Jenkins at LG (and, presumably, Yosh at RT) is if Bakh is out one series, few series or even an entire game, the cascading changes are: RT (Yosh) is moved to LT, LG (Jenkins) is move to RT, and a new player comes in at LG (or, you move Runyan to LG and have a new player at RG). Either way, that's at least three changes (if not counting moving Runyan to LG) to potentially make if Bakh isn't the LT.

So, the point being made was Jenkins at RT is pretty much out of necessity at least until Bakh can be trusted to play every series, but the Packers won't come out and say that exactly. I too am miffed that Jenkins, when returning from injury, has been shifted to a new position and persistently made to play there when he looks like an average RT at best (and a shell of a potential all-pro player that he was at LG). Maybe thinking there is something forcing Jenkins to be the RT makes me feel better that the coaches aren't clearly missing the obvious because there is a need forcing their hand to play Jenkins at RT. Maybe it also makes me feel better about the growing voice in my mind which keeps suggesting their is a serious disconnect between the Personnel group (Gutey and company) and the coaches.

All of which is to say, at least shift Jenkins back to LG until he knocks the rust off and gets into a rhythm. If the coaches refuse to do it, I am praying it is because of the concern of cascading changes and because Yosh has barely gotten any practice snaps at RT. God help us if the coaches are seeing the game tape and still think Jenkins at RT is fine without anything forcing their hand.

To me, that point makes absolutely zero sense whatsoever. If Jenkins goes back home, LG and for whatever reason Bakhtiari flounders at LT, you don't need to shuffle the entire OL. Also, Jenkins was Pro Bowl, not All-Pro, right?

I just think we need R's to stay on R and L's to stay on Left. Anyone every pay attention when players say switching from G to T and T to G isn't that big of a deal RELATIVELY speaking to switching the entire side? I'll use Josh Sitton since some of us know the name. He said he's like wiping your ass with the opposite hand. So we took a guy who played very well on left side, he tears ACL and we put him on the right side. I hated it when people opined about it in the offseason and I loathe it now watching it week in week out. Each position is different and when you just plug and play, you're showing zero respect to the intricacies of each position.

I don't know. I just do not like this constant crap about "best five" because the OL is about the UNIT working together, not the individual parts. You get five average Joe's working together, in unison, that's going to be better than five rogue individual "best 5" trotted out there. We saw it in 2014. They weren't insanely great one by one, but as a unit, they did damn well.

Consider yourself lucky.
It was no fun to watch another horrible showing.
It was about as much fun as falling down a flight of stairs

I agree with that they don't fully trust Bakhtiari, either I'm that maybe he's not ready for a full game, or based on PFF grades, Nijman is simply out playing him.

That being said, if Jenkins was at LG and Nijman was at RT, and Bakhtiari went down... one could simply keep the RT in place and move Jenkins to LT, where he actually looked good last season.

I think the real issue is that you got Bakhtiari, Nijman, Jenkins and Runyan, all whom all look good on the left side and struggle more on the right side... but someone has to play the right side...

They seem to believe Runyan is limited to OG and Bakhtiari and Nijman are limited to LT... and Myers at Center.

Based on those limitations/assumptions, there are basically three options (to save space Bakhtiari really means Bakhtiari/Nijman) also note where the hole is, in each one.

Bakhtiari, Jenkins, Myers, Runyan, RT hole
Or
Bakhtiari, Runyan, Myers, Jenkins, RT hole
Or
Bakhtiari, Runyan, Myers, RG hole, Jenkins

Of the three options, the Packers don't want that RT hole... so they go with the RG hole option.


Now, one could easily argue those assumptions are wrong... and I'm not saying those seemingly coaches assumptions are correct, but based on the coaches actions, it seems those are the assumptions they have made.

One could also argument it should be... Bakhtiari, LG hole, Myers, Runyan, Nijman with Jenkins working at both LT when Bakhtiari isn't in and LG when he is in.... but that moves a ton more lineman to the opposite side they're currently working on.

But I think Runyan is doing well at LG, and Jenkins is the best option at RT, as the options suck... at least until you feel comfortable moving Bakhtiari or Nijman.

But I'd like to see Tom get more opportunities, I mean, I don't think he's ready, but I'm tired of waiting as some of the current starters aren't ready to play either.

So I'm hoping for
Bakhtiari, Runyan, Myers, Tom, Jenkins
or
Bakhtiari, Runyan, Myers, Jenkins, Tom
