I hope Amari Rodgers looks like an NFL player tomorrow.

His only hope is to slim up this offseason, get quicker and build confidence going into camp next year. He needs that "transformation"

No you are not getting too old to sit out in the cold for 3+ hours. I can't wait to get back there for a playoff game.Pugger wrote: ↑08 Jan 2022 17:21I'm getting too old to sit out in the cold for 3+ hours.RingoCStarrQB wrote: ↑08 Jan 2022 14:09Sorry Packers fans.

I froze my keister off more than a few times at Lambeau over the years. Why do you think we retired to Florida?RingoCStarrQB wrote: ↑09 Jan 2022 08:24No you are not getting too old to sit out in the cold for 3+ hours.

Yes, and now lets hope for no setbacks, no soreness, and that he can play a full game in 2 weeks.
I wonder where Nijman will play in the playoffs. He clearly is a much better LT than any Packer not named Bakh (Jenkins does not count, he is on IR). Would he be the best RT going forward? In any event, Nijman is going to be tough to keep. Maybe it is time to find out if he will be the starting RT next year.
Turner is our starting RT next year; he is playing well and iirc it's more costly to cut him than keep him. That said, Nijman has definitely earned the opportunity to be the guy there once Turner's contract expires.

Yeah Nijman will be a Packer. He won't be expensive. He will be our backup LT which will allow Jenkins to concentrate fully on the right side when he returns.TheSkeptic wrote: ↑09 Jan 2022 10:26Yes, and now lets hope for no setbacks, no soreness, and that he can play a full game in 2 weeks.

I view the line next year as the following
LT: Bakh, Nijman
LG: Runyan
C: Meyers
RG: Jenkins/Turner
RT: Jenkins/Turner
Backup Guard: Newman
We will have 7 quality Olinemen next year. I expect to see us draft a Tackle/Guard as that backup on the right side. Center I have no idea but wouldn't be surprised if we draft a 3rd day center either. As a rule, we don't sign guys like Lucas Patrick back, but I wouldn't be suprised if we do that on a cheap deal since he is so versatile. Unless Hanson has really made a leap.
The player who has really impressed me this year is Jon Runyan. He performed far better than I dreamed and I am confident to say we have a long term starter at him at LG moving forward.

He hits every athletic benchmark, he has the smarts, the attitude, the toughness. He grew up around the game.
This position is tough with the massive lack of agility drills conducted this year. A startlingly low number of lineman hit the Packers' traditional thresholds, though I'm not sure how strictly we're sticking to those anymore.
Jon Runyan, ranked as a 5th-7th rounder, is one of those.
Oh yeah I loved him when we picked him too. I was super excited about him but this guy has outperfomed that excitement. He hasn't gotten enough love.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑09 Jan 2022 10:53YoHoChecko wrote: ↑21 Apr 2020 12:20Jon Runyan, Jr. is the safest Day Three pick in the draft.

He is turning into a top end starter in the league. Not the fake top end starters some like to label Nijman or Patrick. Runyan was overstated in effectiveness his rookie season. But through the entirety of the year, I would put Jon Runyan as the best performing offensive lineman we have had in 2021. Maybe even ahead of Elgton Jenkins (keep in mind Jenkins had to be multiple positions again so that is amazing in its own right)
Man; where are you guys?

Enjoy the game all!!

Jones and Campbell are just injury-prevention, not them being injured, right?

I see Newman is the odd man out on the OL
