More Banjo - Packers vs Bucs

[Fritz]

A Green Bay Packer, Pat O'Donnell, is NFC Special Teams Player Of The Week. This may take some getting used to.

I wonder if last year's punter is still in the league. What wuz his name, Porky Borckowitz?

I think his ideal situation would be to punt for a warm-weather team or a dome team, and not have to do any holding. I think a lot of Crosby's struggles last year were on that punter.

If the OL finds its groove and Rodgers builds some chemistry with the rookie receivers we might have a nice run.

We could use a nice health luck season too.

If the o-line can stay healthy, and if the coaches realize a right side of Jenkins at guard and Tom at tackle is better than the "I got rolled" Royce Newman and Jenkins show, then all will be well.

Bojorquez is punting for Cleveland. Not particularly well. 27th in net average. No idea if he's holding for kicks.

I bet they put Tom at guard. Jenkins is a tackle going forward and will demand to be paid as one IMO.

Bojo seems like he has really fallen off. He was a hot commodity the past couple years prior to his stint in GB.

Yeah, I believe JK Scott is with LAC and Bojo is with CLE.
I think people have figured out that Bojo is not a good holder, and that was one of many ST issues that hurt GB last year.

I think they'd like Sean Rhyan to beat Newman, but that's not happening this year and until that happens it will be Tom. I like Tom better at T than G but I think he'll be good anywhere you play him. Jenkins could probably play RG even though he only has like ONE pro snap of experience... he's played everywhere else on the line more. Agree he's going to want to play T and be paid as such next year. He's worth it, having guys like Tom and Jenkins is incredibly valuable; we're a little spoiled in having players who can play multiple positions with little/no dropoff. I know the coaches train them that way, but it's not common to do it with the success they have. It helps having an experienced QB with elite processing and quick release too.

Newman is ok, they can (and have) win with him at RG but you'll always be trying to find better and he's not a tackle. At worst he's solid, experienced depth and that has value.

I think it's been a shitfest with holds in Cleveland too.

Glad to see somebody else recognize that Jenkins should be at Guard instead of Tackle. Hopefully the coaching staff come to that conclusion too.

I guess I should have more patience with Newman. Sitton wasn't a full time starter until his 2nd year, and Lang his 3rd.
Newman needs some more strength and technique work if he's going to be a Guard. He's not a Tackle.
Thing with Sitton and Lang - they were 22 when drafted, Newman was like 24. I think Newman isn't a bad player, but I wonder how much more upside there will be with him.

As for Jenkins, I agree with most here that he's a better G than T, but he's good enough to play either.

Maybe it was the long snapper's fault.

Could be.
