Bacteria looked good. He's not the biggest and strongest LT, but he has great feet and good leverage. No one seems to get by him, even if they crunch the pocket a little from time to time.

But if he goes down they are screwed.

How many teams have multiple all-pro LTs on their squads?

Who said they needed that? It's just that the drop off from Bac ain't good.

The Packers are in better shape at tackle than in 2015 when Bach was hurt. Bulaga and Murphy could man the position there as well as Spriggs.

'could' - yes they could. The reason I and others think they are screwed is because Spriggs looks like a turnstile. Now, if Murphy is competent, they could survive, but we don't know. He's a question mark. Do people really think at this point Bulaga can step in at LT? He's solid, but RT is his position. I don't think he has that flexibility to go LT. Sure they're better off than having to plug Sitton in there, but so what? Better enough that they can afford to let whomever is in there go one on one? We know Stubby loves 'next man up' and will watch Rogers get killed for at least a half or so rather than change his offense (se at AZ, regular season 2015 if you don't believe me).

I will admit that it's kind of banal to say "If Bac goes down we're screwed" because yeah, most teams will struggle if they have a solid to dominant LT go down (P.S. Seattle: Ha Ha!). As TD so smartly points out, teams can't stockpile all-pro LTs.
