If both tackles play well to close the year, I don't see how we can let either Turner or Wagner go honestly.

Tackle may not end up being the "huge need" we thought it could be for this year's draft. Still probably good to nab one though in the 3rd to 5th round.

true, I think both will be back, heck for years running we'd take a T in round 4 or 5, I can't remember the last time we picked a interior OL, in college T's tend to be the best OL players, and most end up playing inside, with the chance that we don't resign Linsley, who knows, that could change, but hopefully we can resign our all pro center.

We get the best OT in the game Bak next year. I think you have to let one of them go and get younger/cheaper at OG and possibly OC.

Not sure where you got that 1,099 from, but so hard to not like that guy. What a damn find. Just to come in, can play every where, well, been durable, awesome, pro-bowl already. Just doesn't happen. And to get him for 4 years at that quality at his price.

Been waiting all week for someone to share some tweets with Elgton taking mulitple rib shots there on Donald. No way that was just a jerk reaction from Donald to draw that penatly, that had to be several plays building up where Elgton is just giving him body blows.

What a stud.

Jenkins asked Donald if his momma knew he was playing with the big boys.

Absolutely nothing happened, I didn't see any shots to the ribs by Patrick, Linsley, or Jenkins. They were just beating him every play and he was frustrated.

Tramon Williams is in the building per Lafleur. If he passes all the tests, he'll be on the practice squad. Could certainly see him as a PS call-up for the game.

Had Bak not gotten hurt I would have thought they cut Wagner. Now I don’t think they can do that considering we probably don’t have Bak for the first few games. Probably need to maintain continuity at OT for another year.

Linsley is absolutely gone though. Not a chance he is resigned. They drafted 3 interior lineman last offseason for a reason.

Love the avatar, @paco.

Glad I still had it saved somewhere.

Kenny Clark talking about how he got hurt 14-15 plays into the first game of the season and that set him back this year. Obviously never missed a game, but interesting to hear why he started off so slow.

Honestly, I don't dislike Veldheer by any means, and I root for him as long as he plays with us, but Tramon moreso deserves to go in the history books as the first player to play for 2 separate teams in the playoffs

I don't care who does what as long as we win!

Hes on a tear now. I think hes going to be the biggest xfactor in this game. The defense goes as he goes in this one. Brady doesnt even try to extend plays. He turtles up under pressure.

We speculated about this early- and mid-season. I thought he didn't look right then, didn't have the usual explosiveness. But it could've been injury-related or big contract hangover, glad it was the former. I didn't think Clark was the kinda man to cash in and slack off.

Now he's beasting, and it's sweet.

In a very unexpected / surprising /unnecessary way the Packers mailed their season ticket holders a letter and some mementos. The letter started out saying We hope this letter finds you safe and most importantly, healthy. As we begin to transition in the NFL's postseason and a new calendar year, we want to thank you, our Season Ticket Holder, for your unwavering support of the Green Bay Packers.

The letter ended saying Stay safe, be well and Go Pack!

Enclosed were my unused 2020 season tickets, a photo from the Sept 20th home opener vs. the Lions (empty stadium view reminding us all of COVID-19), a photo from the December 6th game versus the Eagles (Rodgers, Adams and Jones celebrating), and also a couple of masks.

What a classy organization. It is clear that the Packers really missed having their fans in the stands.

GET LOUD LAMBEAU and GO PACK GO!!

I wonder what it would be from the end of the 1st half to the end of the 2nd half. I would think Savage would lead that list. He was awful the first half of the year and turned it up after the Colts game. Im betting coaches got in his ass about wasting potential.

[TheGreenMan]

Wonder where Savage is in the ranking.

[Waldo]

I'm surprised Tonyan isn't higher on that list. He's definitely my #1 for most improved.

Tonyan/Sternberger is the only clear miss. Barnes too, but he was a rookie so not eligible to be on the most improved list.

[Acrobat]

Crosby at #26!!???!?!

from Andy Herman

Rashan Gary's game on Saturday continues to impress me. His 7 pressures is impressive enough, but Goff only dropped back to pass 28 times, meaning Gary pressured Goff 1 out of every 4 times he dropped back to pass. Oh and Gary was only in on 22 of those 28 drop backs

Mr. Gary would like to introduce himself to a fellow Michigan alum on Sunday afternoon.
I hope they can spend some quality time together in the pocket.
