Offensive Line

What does everyone think the best OL is? To me it’s Bak, Runyan, Myers, Jenkins, and Tom.

Where Tom is not as good an OT as Jenkins, obviously, I think the drop off from Jenkins to Newman at RG is considerably larger than that of Jenkins to Tom at RT. So far Tom has exceeded expectations.

Where I’m really disappointed is Rhyan. I think my expectations were high. He is switching positions and side so it will take time but when we took him I felt he was good enough to step right in at RG.

without much investigation I took it for Granted that Bahk and Jenkins would be our OT's, Myers at C, Runyan at LG and Toms and Newman would battle for RG??????

I can't get on board with Elgton settling in at RG. Just seems like the last place I'd want him even though that is where the greatest need is. I think I like Bak, Runyan, Myers, Newman, and Jenkins. Even though Newman has had a disappointing TC by most accounts, he has the year of experience and is a talented guy, himself. Plus this line up puts the weak link at RG where they can cycle through if it doesn't work without shaking up the whole line. Maybe Rhyan starts showing some signs later in the year or maybe they give Hanson a shot, but I like this line up because it puts the weak link at RG, which is arguably the least important position on the OL.

This is my 5, wouldn’t care if you swap Tom and Jenkins.

I think Hansen or Newman might be better today than Tom, but I’d rather just get through the growing pains now.

I agree with this post word for word, which doesn't make for interesting conversation, but is too emphatic for just giving a lombardi and moving on.

If you do put Jenkins back at OG, as much as I hate re-shuffling, I would put Jenkins back at LG and move Runyan over to RG.

I actually really like the idea of Jenkins next to the rookie instead of having our two best OL concentrated on the left side. But at this point I'm nitpicking a hypothetical, so no biggie.

Also, for what it's worth, Andy Herman has been on a "don't look now, but Hanson has been better than Newman and probably Myers" kick

Yeah, I was thinking I want Hanson in there somewhere. I'm thinking:

Bakh - JRJ - Myers - Hanson - Jenkins

The Bakh-JRJ-Myers-Hanson-Jenkins combination is a funny one. From left to right, it's like Tackle, Guard, Guard, Center, Guard... like everything is moved over 1.5 spaces to the right.

I think I like Tom at RT better than I like Hanson at RG. I usually defer to the judgment of the coaches because they know this stuff way better than I do, but I seem to recall them pulling Nijman to play Dennis Kelly and Billy Turner against Joey Bosa, and they wouldn't start rookie Jenkins over a washed-up Lane Taylor, so I'm not as inclined to do so as I normally would.

With that said, lots of people are confirming that Hanson does look really good, so that's something....

Maybe he’s showing it in practice, but Hansen was awful at family night and against the 49ers I thought.

Do you trust Adam Stenavich?



Also:
Against the San Francisco 49ers, Hanson allowed no pressures in 34 pass-blocking snaps, according to PFF

Sooooo….awful against SF?

Anything that gets Jenkins back at guard and Newman off the field is OK by me :lol:

I agree with everything in this post.

It's what I would do. But it's not what I think the Packers will do. I would be very surprised if Jenkins isn't at RT and they do either Hanson or Newman at RG.

Also, Aaron Rodgers recently went out of his way to highlight Hanson’s progress. From The Athletic:
“I’m really proud of a few of those guys up front, especially a guy like Jake, who came in here, had a pretty rough first training camp and the steps that he’s made to put himself in a conversation to be a starter in the National Football League is outstanding,” Rodgers said Monday. “And Jake Hanson has consistently gotten better. He’s improved his body. He’s improved his craft, his footwork and he’s one of those guys you’re really, really proud of.”

When I think O Line (best Packers) I fixate on:

Bakh, Gillingham, Ringo, Kramer and Gregg.

I still think about this guy quite a bit. Super, super interesting story I have never heard before around the 25:00 minute mark (maybe a little later).

Sitton was better than Kramer
