No worries about the O-line. Ted had it all figured out way before the season started.

[gbgary]

current o-line situation has the potential to become the rb fiasco of last year.

That would be fine with me. But I don't want the CB fiasco again.

Packer Report @PackerReport 8m8 minutes ago
So this doesn't appear good for Daniels (see photo) but is a protective wrap. Won't use in game and won't be on injury report.

^^^ Lowrys' fingers barely reach the top of his thigh pads.

^^^ Lowrys' fingers barely reach the top of his thigh pads.

He's headed into battle unarmed.

@RobDemovsky

David Bakhtiari practiced in pads. Limited yesterday but at least there's a chance Packers won't be without both starting tackles on Sunday.

Is practicing in pads the same as full participation? If so I would think there is more than just "a chance" he plays on Sunday.

Same three missing from #Packers practice: OT Bryan Bulaga, OLB Ahmad Brooks and OT Jason Spriggs.

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod 27m27 minutes ago
David Bakhtiari (hamstring) taking part in portion of practice open to media. No Bryan Bulaga or Spriggs. Ahmad Brooks watching #Packers

Andy Benoit @Andy_Benoit 23h23 hours ago
Film: #Packers a static formation offense. Rarely employ motion. They will shift presnap, though.

BACH HAS PACKERS HAMMY

Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky 1h1 hour ago
Ahmad Brooks remains in the concussion protocol although he's been watching practice the last two days, a sign he's made some progress.

[Teamcheez1]

Bulaga has been out for 22 days now.

#98 converts to Left Tackle.

^^^ Lowrys' fingers barely reach the top of his thigh pads.

He should be an O Lineman. Pretty hard to get a holding penalty that way. BTW, who is that with the white T-shirt over his big gut? His arms seem to be about the same length as Lowry.

[Patler]

^^^ Lowrys' fingers barely reach the top of his thigh pads.

Kind of interesting comparing Lowry and Clark for the positions of their hands relative to their waists. Clark's waist looks to be at his mid-forearm. Lowry's is at the base of his thumb.

[hoosier]

What's with the protective wrap? Does he have an injury or is just a prophylaxis? If prophylaxis shouldn't all Packer defenders be wearing them?

[Joemailman]

Can Pankey play tackle? With Spriggs out (not a loss), Murphy is the only healthy tackle unless I'm missing someone. Atlanta may not have the line Seattle does, but if Bakhtiari and Bulaga are out, Rodgers is in big trouble.

On the plus side, Atlanta has o-line troubles even without injury. Their new guard (replaced a guy who retired) had a terrible game against the Bears:

The Atlanta coach is talking about cleaning things up... where have I heard that kind of coach speak before, and how well did it work out?

Pankey play both Guard and Tackle at West Virginia. http://www.nfl.com/draft/2017/profil...key?id=2558143

Most had him projected to Guard in the NFL.

Bach is still limited participant.
