2021 Packers OL

[texaspackerbacker]

Jenkins has excelled pretty consistently at LG. He looked pretty ordinary at Tackle. I'd like to see Turner at LT until Bakhtiari gets back then move Turner to RT. Keep Jenkins at LG and put Lane Taylor at RG if he is healthy enough to handle it. I'd go with Runyan at RT until Bakhtiari is back. I'd throw Center into open competition between Hanson, Stepaniak, and Patrick.

There must be some hope for Nijman if they're keeping him around. Hopefully there is a preseason and he gets a lot of PT to show one way or the other.

They took the Fucking Center over DK Metcalf. Time to see if the Fucking Center has any Kung Fu at the “Oher.”

For uncool Pack fans who ain’t dig pop culture, the “Oher” is the blind side tackle position (which in the Fins’ case is Right Tackle; the Packers’, Left Tackle), so named after the Blind Side Michael Oher.

Wasn't he deaf, not blind? hahahaha

Now that they locked up Bak, I see no need to waste reps at LT for Jenkins. Whatever position they envision for him long term is where he should start. I would like to see it be RT, but if they are keeping him at LG, then leave him be and work around it.

Jenkins is an All-Pro guy at LG or C. Now, if you're convinced he can be that caliber a player at OT, then you move him there. But if you think he can be a good-but-not-great OT, then I say leave him at LG or C and draft the next great OT. The draft is loaded at OT this year.

I read this morning they're going to tender Nijman.

Tender as a verb. Wow.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Jenkins will play where he's needed. It's nice that he and Turner have that flexibility. If they draft an OT that's ready to start, Jenkins can stay on the interior. If the draft falls a different way, they can start him at OT.

The Iranian Stallion (Bak) likely ain’t gonna be ready for combat til December. If Jenkins is the superior “Oher” on the team with Bak MIA, well, play him at the Oher.

Turner ain’t no superior LT. Lest y’all forget, the fucking Pirates of the Caribbean ate him out alive in that infamous NFC title game.

I think they can get by with Turner at LT. He's not ideal, for sure, but he's average there. I remember when they signed him for such big money, many thought he'd fit well as a right tackle in LeFleur's scheme. What with the seeming plethora of inside talent (Stepaniak, Hansen, Runyan, maybe Lane Taylor, Patrick, Jenkins) I wonder if the long-term move is to play Turner at LT this season until Bakh gets Bakh, and in the meantime draft a RT. That would mean, ideally, you could cut Billy Turner after next season and save some cash.

We need some developmental luck inside. If runyan, stepaniak and Hanson somehow pan out, it will ease the pressure at tackle with Turner and Jenkins being able to slide.

An injury early could make for a dumpster fire at tackle.


I do not love the way our OL tentatively looks going into 2021. A first round OT would ease concerns.

If there is one position I trust on our team it is there ability to scout ol talent. If they don't look at ot in the 1st rd then they must think we have a somewhat adequate backup until bakh gets bakh!

I can only go by his size and tools and say he can be. He had limited snaps and practice at OT last year and looked decent. But I would have to see his punch and his footwork against edge speed to be sure. I see no reason he can't be Bulaga. Would you give up a top 3 guard in the NFL for a top 8-10 RT?

Yes, especially because I'm pretty high on Runyan. I know his sample size is pretty small at this point, but I think his bloodlines reduces the possibility that what he did last year is a fluke. However, if they have a chance at one of the top OT's in the 1st round, I'd still go for it.

Hell yes, keep that OL stocked! Some people hate the idea of drafting OTs high all the time, but also hate the idea of the Bacteria contract. It can't be both ways.
