This should be a classic battle between a resistible force and a movable object.

Former Mekhi Becton and Philadelphia Eagles O line coach Jeff Stoutland, talking about blocking a TE stunt on the right side.

His demonstration about how to do it? Monk and Belton

Packers had Kevin Zeitler in for a visit today, not a workout. If he signs, it won't be for the PS or vet minimum.

Also, while looking for the Bruce Wilkerson Thanks For Saving Our Ass Award thread, I found this post.

Seems like the O Line-ophiles are getting to be in panic mode hahahaha.

The crap funk the Packers are in? This too shall pass, and it won't be because of anything to do with the O Line.

After shockingly falling apart, our D needs to snap back to decent or more - I think they are capable, although it's hard to figure how they fell so far last week.

I just called my pal Nutz, a futbol coach and Coldplay fan, and I asked him to explain: Nutz said Love’s only equal to the Yokozunas. Unless the Yokozunas improve, Nutz said, Love ain’t gonna turn our sorrow into song. Hence, time for the annual Hozier rhyme:

Love got humour
He’s the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
We should've worshipped Love sooner

If the heavens ever did speak
Love is the last true mouthpiece
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh poison each week

The Packers plan is to sign a completely new offensive line by next week.

[pbmax]

Parsons is about three weeks behind the ACL timeline for Kraft and Watson. Kraft and Parsons needed meniscus repairs but details are hard to come by.

Acme Packer:

Watson tore his ACL on January 5th, 2025 and was cleared by the Packers’ medical staff for practice on October 6th, 2025 — 275 days from his injury. Kraft tore his ACL on November 2nd, 2025 and was cleared by the Packers’ medical staff for practice on July 31st, 2026 — 272 days from his injury.

As of now, Parsons is 289 days removed from his injury date (December 15th, 2025) and counting.

Aren't rehab periods estimated from the date of surgery, not injury? Parsons didn't have his surgery until several weeks after the injury. I don't know about Kraft or Watson.

Could very well be more accurate that way, yes. But since the exact date of surgery is often unknown, the player usually confirms it if anyone does, most calculations seem to be from date of injury.

Williams is the modern day Wilkerson....if they are smart enough to admit it.

Because of course the packers gave up the farm for him and now his career is probably over. #Jaire #Bak

The early offensive line alignment: Jordan Morgan, Laken Tomlinson, Sean Rhyan, Donovan Jennings, Anthony Belton — with Kevin Zeitler simulating right guard snaps at the end of the line.

Could have two new starting guards in a matter of weeks. Why Jennings is out there is a mystery. Not Burton? Or did he only play left guard and center? In any case, Donovan "Liability" Jennings is not long for this team, I don't think.

[pbmax]

Yeah, I don't think Jennings is long term. There is a reason Burton replaced him. But they have to get Zeitler some practice reps. He was not in camp. Tomlinson had a camp in Dallas.
