O-line shuffles during week 1

[Guiness]

Did anyone keep up with the o-line shuffles on Sunday?

Jenkins started at RT, did he play the whole game there? He isn't even listed at that position on the depth chart. I think Wagner came in after Taylor and Patrick went down. I saw Runyan out there too, where did he play?

Jenkins switched back to LG early on when Patrick got hurt - thankfully IMO (not Patrick getting hurt, but Jenkins back at Guard). Runyon played RG after Taylor got hurt, and he seemed to do a good job. Wagner did ok at RT too, it seemed to me anyway.

Supposedly there's a good chance Patrick can play against the Lions. I HOPE they don't go back to Jenkins at Tackle. Either Patrick or Runyon at RG.

If we get way ahead, I'd like to see what Nijman can do too.

If runyon is a solidish and he can keep it up it will dramatically help after loosing Taylor.

[run pMc]

Bahk - Patrick - Linsley - Taylor - Jenkins

then

Bahk - Jenkins - Linsley - Taylor - Wagner

then

Bahk - Jenkins - Linsley - Funyun - Wagner

Thank goodness they didn't have to play Njiman.

I thought Runyan played well for being thrown in there. Wagner held up too. Rodgers barely got touched, partly because of the OL and partly because he got the ball out quick.

I read where Billy Turner will likely go back to RG where he was last season when he's healthy enough.

That makes sense if they like how Wagner played. The other option would be to put Lucas Patrick at RG and Turner (or Wagner) at RT.
They have to be encouraged by what they saw from Wagner and Runyan yesterday. Ngawoe (or whatever) was shutout.

Rodgers was supposedly pressured four times yesterday (https://www.dailynorseman.com/214363...changing-plays)

pretty incredible for 40+ passing attempts.

That's a combination of very good OL blocking, QB and receiver play, and poor CB coverage. Still, you gotta give the GB OL depth some credit.

Seems I remember fans ranting about LaFleurs choice of Stenavich as OLine coach. Looking like he knows what he is doing and getting guys ready to play.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Runyan is listed as 6-4 307 but he looked smaller than that in the huddle.

[RashanGary]

Good second game for a banged up OL. Lions aren’t incredibly potent up front.

[HarveyWallbangers]

OL of the future:

LT Bakh
LG Runyan
OC Hanson (unless they somehow resign Linsley to a reasonable deal, unlikely)
RG Patrick/Stepaniak/Taylor/Turner - may the best man win
RT Jenkins

Probably....

Bakh
Runyan
Patrick
Turner
Jenkins

Is a real possibility too.

[RashanGary]

If Bakh is ridiculously expensive, might have to cut Turner

Bakh
Runyan
Hanson
Patrick
Jenkins

In that case

[RashanGary]

Regardless of how it shakes out, Jenkins playing RT like he belonged and Runyan being serviceable as a rookie make the future look bright.

It REALLY rubs me the wrong way whenever I see somebody's stupid projection of an O Line next year WITH Bakhtiari and WITHOUT Linsley. Don't ya'all have eyes? Can't you see Bakhtiari getting beat way too often, and Linsley being extremely solid? Can't ya'all see the lack of decent off tackle runs on Bakhtiari's side because of lack of blocking, while most of the good runs come up the middle through the C-G hole?

I certainly could see cutting Turner to retain Bakhtiari, although I wouldn't be very enthusiastic about that. No way in hell, though, should they let Linsley go to retain a clearly lesser player, Bakhtiari.
