Our newly signed LG Aaron Banks has only played handful of snaps at RG during his (I think) rookie year. Yeah, that means it's more than likely Elgton Jenkins is moving to Center.

Guessing the OL gonna be like this.

LT - Walker/Morgan
LG - Banks
C - grumble grumble Jenkins grumble grumble
RG - Rhyan/Morgan
RT - Tom

I still don't know if either Walker or Rhyan is the answer, but most teams (other than our division, have worse. I would like to think we are slightly above average.

NEVERTHELESS, we should try to add a stud tackle and we would be ELITE

I'll also point out that Banks was LG almost his entire college career too, and that Jenkins was a full-time Center for majority of his college career.

But based on last year, Jenkins has to get better with wet ball situations, but maybe he just needs to knock off some rust and then he'll have no issues with that.

Also, until Myers is signed elsewhere, we don't fully know that he won't be back. Though quite unlikely at this point, but if Myers doesn't like his market, he might sign a one year deal so something.

I'd also point out that Rhyan was Center #3 last year, behind Myers and Jenkins.


Walker is elite pass blocker, it's just that he doesn't give you much in the run blocking department.

Also, based on the Packers brass comments, I think they'll still have a discussion (not saying they'll pull the trigger, but simply discuss) the option of moving Tom to LT and the Walker/Morgan to RT, which really would be Zero's nightmare. (Hey, the subject is your OL nightmare, so I'm staying on subject! šŸ˜‹)

Jenkins filled in for Corey Linsley at C early in his career (coming off playing C in college as beast pointed out) and there weren't many issues (save for Bakh false start penalties due to his jump being very predicated on Linsley's timing). Jenkins moves away from backing up C and focusing on Guard and LT and now his play at C looks suspect. Most of the time when Jenkins has played C the past few years it's been stuff hitting the fan situations. I think this is the crux of the matter: do you think Jenkins will do fine at C if given an offseason+TC to work on chemistry with Love? If so, you're alright with the move. If not, then you really don't like this.

We have this fun guessing game arrangement of the OL.

How many OL players do we draft?

I am guessing a C and an OT who can kick in.

We certainly are getting to the situation where we look to have some pretty solid back-ups which is nice after the OL fell apart in the Eagles playoff game after the injuries.

This would leave out Sean Rhyan.

LT - Walker
LG - Banks
C - Jenkins
RG - Morgan
RT - Tom

Also, Morgan has been pretty adamant about playing LT. Tough nugget kid!

Jenkins gets an "escalator" for post season awards (at least making the Pro-Bowl).

Pro-Bowl Escalators
  • 1M for LT
  • 750K for OT
  • 250K if another position

  • Though I'm curious, if for LT, if he gets just $1 Million, or if he would get 1.75 million, as why does it say OT, instead of simply RT.

    wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
    dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
    Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
    dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
    Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
    Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
    wpr (9-Apr) : yay
    Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
    Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
    Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
    Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
    Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
