Packers Offensive Line - Now and Going Forward

[RashanGary]

Bahktiari - He looked damn good today. Strong, consistent, reliable. Lock him up.
Taylor - He looked alright. I miss Sitton a little, but Taylor looked alright!
Tretter - Looked good. OL played well overall and he was a part of that
Lang - Didn't notice him. The cliche OL compliment
Bulaga - Same as Lang

Lock up Bahktiari and Tretter. That's the next new wave of lineman in their prime for the Packers. Stick Lindsley back at center next year, move Tretter out to guard and we have a solid starting 5, and they're just affordable!

If you're going to pay guys a lot of money, might as well be young ones with good knees, shoulders and backs. The Packers made kind of a luxury move releasing a really good player, but something tells me they just have a good young group that they're ready to play with and that's all it was. Time to move on. Lang is next.

Tretter and Lang missed cutoff blocks that stymied wide runs. Taylor whiffed on that toss they ran to Lacy late. It wasn't clean but it wasn't a disaster.

Tretter is too skinny to play guard. He is a tackle or a center. I have a strange feeling this may be the whale's last season on the team so could Tretter be the starting RT next year? I do have to ask why he hasn't put on much weight since he entered the league. I would have thought he would have added 20+ pounds by now.

2016 - Player(salary) - Bahk(2M)/Taylor(2M)/Tretter(1M)/Lang(5M)/Bulaga(7M) TOTAL 17M
2017 - Player(salary) - Bahk(10M)/Taylor(2M)/Lindsley(1M)/Tretter(5M)/Bulaga(7M) TOTAL 25M

We'll see what happens after that. It's gonna be hard to pay full wage for the whole line. At least one or two of your OL need to be underpaid or you'll struggle paying for the rest of your team.

So who stays? Who goes?

It will be interesting to see play out. I'll bet Lang is gone after this year. Which young guys stay long term though? Can they afford Tretter, Lindsley, Bahk and Bulaga? I just don't know........ And with that, the Taylor piece makes so much more sense. He's a servicable, cheap, reliable player to supplement your higher paid tackles.

Ya I don't see tretter as a guard. Linsley is probably more of a guard but even he isn't your standard guard. They very well might lock up bakh and tretter, let Lang walk and move Bulaga to guard. Bakh-Taylor-tretter-bulaga-spriggs. Linsley is locked up through 2017.

Bulaga would ne an expensive guard, but its possible. A lot of things are posible. We have a lot of young OL. I guess we'll see who they decide to keep.

Our O Line looked good because of low expectations. Maybe we'll get lucky with Spriggs, and undoubtedly Linsley factors in going forward, but I expect things to continue about like they are now - good enough to win with a superstar QB, but nothing spectacular.

Ya, but not by an outlandish amount. If he is part of a line that includes some cheap players like Spriggs and Murohy, it would be handled easily under the cap.

It will be interesting to see how this unfolds. Spriggs wasn't drafted to be a reserve for the next 4 years. I expect they will try to find a place for him next year. Bulaga is under contract for as long as Spriggs and Murphy, through the 2019 season.

Don't overlook LUCAS PATRICK. Proven winner. http://www.packers.com/team/roster/L...9-7af6dd7844c8

It will be interesting to see Fightin' Bob McGinn's analysis this week. I'm sure the pitchforks will be out from part of the fan base.

I'm interested in see if the Australian rules football guy on the PS moves up the ladder.

Hopefully, he won't be this year's version of Matt Rotheram. Rotheram supposedly was one of the undrafted prizes throughout the league. Had 15 offers. Was the top rated run blocker of all draft eligible guards. GB paid extra to keep him on PS last year. Disappeared this year.

Bacteria has always been the weak link on this line. I don't see him improving, and one game proves nothing.

and i say theres still a good chance we lose both bahk and lang because of the way the sitton deal went down

they seem to be the closest to him. and bahk might be the guy the "cancer" already started to spread to

they can make just as much, if not more in free agency as they would in green bay. so if they are pissed at management and/or coaches talking shit about their friend after he's cut, then maybe they decide to look elsewhere

what he sitton tells them about how well he's treated and how much he made in FIBland?
