Can the Packers rely on Cullen Jenkins?

The White cut was an area where TT's hang-ups got us. We lost Haynos to Miami, & then they came sniffing around after Lasagna. TT didn't want to lose two good looking kids to the same team. So White got the ax. Our kick rush team went to hell soon after. White was the vet bull goose of that bunch and they were lost w/out their leader.

Long term, it was no big deal, they can get or grow another White. But for the season, it really screwed us up.

If White's leaving had as much effect as you and others are saying, I honestly wonder if cutting him cost us the playoffs?

I'm not kidding. A couple less big returns in these past few games might've been the difference between a win and a loss, and one more win right now gives us a very different outlook.

This year our D line play suffered because Jolly and Pickett, for whatever reason, are not playing at the level they did last year

I believe Pickett is playing hurt. He's also playing a ton of snaps. Bad combo.

I have no idea what Jolly's problem is. He's played a lot of snaps, too. Maybe he just doesn't have the endurance to play full time. Whatever it is, he failed to step up and it was a problem.

too much lean.

I'm reading a lot of bad words about Montgomery in here. From what I've seen, he's been almost as good as Kampman in pass rushing and a helluva lot better than Kampman against the run.

There would seem to be a strong chance Jenkins will be good as new for next season, and with LUCK, he won't get hurt again. Between him and Kampman and Montgomery and Thompson and possibly some help from Hunter, I think the Packers are well-stocked at DE.

He's not nearly as good as Kampman rushing the passer, but he's a helluva lot better than KGB against the run. I think the need at DT is greater than the one at DE, because stopping the run should be the #1 priority of any defense, but that being said I'd like to see a much better pass rush from our DE's than I've seen this year. And I don't think Monty is going to get that done.
