The only major question with his group is whether it can play up to last season's standard. The Packers allowed only 30 sacks, the fewest since Aaron Rodgers took over as quarterback in 2008. It also helped Eddie Lacy rush for 1,139 yards – his second straight 1,100-yard season. When general manager Ted Thompson signed Bulaga to a five-year, $33.75 million contract in March, it ensured that the same starting five would be together again this season. In fact, all five are signed through at least the 2016 season.

Three things I'd like to see.

1: Bakhtiari dominate in run blocking.

2: Another guy prove he can get it done at LT.

3: Everyone healthy, especially Bulaga and Barclay. Tretter too now that I think of it.

Aaron Rodgers' ability to escape the pass rush and still hit receivers downfield makes all of those O Linemen SEEM better than what they are. That's not a negative thing - it's just a fact, and a Good thing.

I don't expect any non-injury-related decline in Aaron Rodgers for a good many years. I HOPE he uses his influence that way hahahaha.

He hasn't been injury free in awhile. You think he still rolls out as well as he used to?

I recall him doing that pretty well even on one good leg last season. Something about being chased that makes you run faster hahahaha.
