DAVID BACKTIARI----MORE DRAMA------IS IT REAL ????

[Bretsky]

As many of you know Bach has been over the top outspoken that every stadium should be natural grass. When AROD went down he used social media to pound that table again

LAST WEEK when interviewed he asked if he was going to play the games on regular turf and he basically stated.....he doesn't feel like that is an appropriate question to address

IN OTHER WORDS, he dodged the question.... which creates warning signals.

Honestly, he played pretty great last week (after not practicing at all the previous week). To our knowledge he didn't aggravate anything last week in the game

He didn't practice at all this week so nothing was aggravated; who as Vince would say, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON ?

This is the topic on Packer Pregame. Most feel like he's not playing cause the game is on turf

IF true, that is NOT GOOD.

Bahk really fucked his knee up. Tough rehab to get back. I think what we are seeing is the best we will get from him.

The Pack will be extremely careful with his playing time.

should have traded him to our east coast team for a first

he's an NBA player at this point, plays sometime when he wants

Do you think this was the Packers call ?

[ThunderDan]

Do you think this was the Packers call ?

I do. They know the knee is never going to be “good” again. They aren’t going to risk it.

Bakh should be sent packing.
Get the most out of him you can this year and then tell him goodbye
Should have got rid of him before this year.

You’ve had almost three years to recover and you can’t play one game on turf?
Bakh can go f*** off. I would be happy to tell him to his face.

The front office screwed up on this one.

Bro, you need to relax. Bakh was never an elite athlete but always found a way to be one of the best. Even with a permanently damaged knee, he’s still playing well. It’s a long year and he’s our best LT. A game off was a good move. He’ll be ready next week.

[Rutnstrut]

They should have traded him before the season started. Now he's just filling the drama queen spot the AR left.

[bobblehead]

I do. They know the knee is never going to be “good” again. They aren’t going to risk it.

I think for a sharp guy you are ignoring all the evidence.

[bobblehead]

Oh.....and I said he is done with football and just earning every dollar he can off this contract. I stand by that call.

[Fosco33]

The Aaron injury hurts his chances of going to NY for draft picks.

I didn’t want to resign him before…

[Bretsky]

While we don't know 100%, the evidence sure seems to be with you.

Matty Floor was very evasive with the question when he was asked about it right after the game.

Normally he has prepped pretty politically correct answers. Not today

It is a long year; but I question this as well. He didn't practice once the week before the last game. He didn't practice this week leading up to the game. Maybe he's just not going to play on turf at all this year.

If he was medically cleared to play, and decided not to on his own, should he really get paid for the week ? None of us know for sure and I'm guessing GB will try to cover it up if this is the case. We're probably not going to know.

[RashanGary]

I’m good if he never plays on turf this year. His knee is shot. They’re getting the last drops out of an elite player who’s knee is shot. It is what it is. And it’s smart.

[Joemailman]

I expect Bakhtiari to hang it up after this year. His knee is obviously wrecked. He needs to start thinking about what his life at 50, or maybe even 40 will be like.

[call_me_ishmael]

It'll be interesting to hear what the man himself has to say about this. I doubt he hangs 'em up personally unless he's cut and can't find another big contract.

[Fritz]

Bretsky, you're being overly dramatic. The guy is clearly damaged goods at this point. My guess is he'll play when he can, and mostly not on turf - he seems to have a passionate hatred of it - and when he does play, he'll play well. Tex is full of shit that there was no drop off with Bakh not out there. Rasheed Wallace got his ass handed to him many, many times, and it couldn't have helped the play book that they needed to keep a tight end on the left side to help block.

He's probably done after this year, if he doesn't re-hurt his knee before. But it is what it is, and I don't think he's as big a dick as you make him out to be.

[Teamcheez1]

4 out of our last 7 games are on turf.
If there is still playoff hope, will he step up?

[Joemailman]

His issues might not have anything to do with turf. His knee might not be able to take the pounding of 2 games in a row. If so, not a great situation. You'd like to have some continuity in your OL lineup. Walker might be okay there yet. It was his 1st start. I think his most natural position might be RT though.

[Fritz]

Yosh Nijman could be making himself some real coin if he'd step up and get out of the doghouse.
