From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
In the American-English language we would call this an indoor stadium. But it's still a stadium.
Sorry Packers fans. I've never been a fan of indoor stadiums......the disdain began at the Kingdome. Way too sterile for both baseball and football. Sometimes amazingly loud.....but always too sterile. Suites with no open windows .... been there done that twice at Lambeau ..... no more no more.
I'm getting too old to sit out in the cold for 3+ hours.

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.

I froze my keister off more than a few times at Lambeau over the years. Why do you think we retired to Florida?
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.
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.

Jon Runyan, Jr. is the safest Day Three pick in the draft.
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.
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)
