    No idea. When they mentioned during the game that Brooks was being evaluated for a concussion, I couldn't remember hearing his name mentioned. He played 6 snaps on defense and 1 on special teams. He was credited with 1 tackle on a Lacy run midway through the 2nd quarter.

    He got hit on the head.

    Sorry, KY. Couldn't stop myself.

    Both tackles now on the injury list, Bulaga with his ankle and Bakhtiari with a hamstring. Explains swapping RJF for Pankey. Here comes the annual injury parade.

    Can Pankey play tackle? With Spriggs out (not a loss), Murphy is the only healthy tackle unless I'm missing someone. Atlanta may not have the line Seattle does, but if Bakhtiari and Bulaga are out, Rodgers is in big trouble.

    On the plus side, Atlanta has o-line troubles even without injury. Their new guard (replaced a guy who retired) had a terrible game against the Bears:

    The Atlanta coach is talking about cleaning things up... where have I heard that kind of coach speak before, and how well did it work out?
    Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!

    Pankey play both Guard and Tackle at West Virginia. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profil...key?id=2558143

    Most had him projected to Guard in the NFL.

    Seems like every year one position gets crushed by injury. Tackle wouldn't be a big deal if our QB was Joe Schmoe, but since its ARod....

    Have to hope Bakhtiari can go and that he doesn't make whatever he has worse.

    No worries about the O-line. Ted had it all figured out way before the season started.

    But you worship the John Schneider approach of active FA signings. Worked real well. Their OLine problems are great BEFORE anyone is injured amIright!

    He's made some real errors on the O-Line. Traded Max Unger, a Pro Bowl Center, for Jimmy Graham. Had Jahri Evans last year and cut him. Tried to make up for it this year by going after T.J. Lang, but lost out to Detroit.

    Who ever said I worship Schneider? I do find it odd that TT isn't good enough figure out that protecting Rodgers is job number 1.

    current o-line situation has the potential to become the rb fiasco of last year.

    That would be fine with me. But I don't want the CB fiasco again.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    So this doesn't appear good for Daniels (see photo) but is a protective wrap. Won't use in game and won't be on injury report.

    #98 converts to Left Tackle.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    @RobDemovsky

    David Bakhtiari practiced in pads. Limited yesterday but at least there's a chance Packers won't be without both starting tackles on Sunday.
    Is practicing in pads the same as full participation? If so I would think there is more than just "a chance" he plays on Sunday.
