JD better be bringing in tackles after cuts. If he counts on Becton to make it through a single game without injury or without saying the grass is too green, then Rodgers is going to get killed.
He needs to do this no matter what. We are just too thin on the O-line

Some on here have expounded the theory that a franchise QB improves the quality of the offensive line. I guess we'll find out.

I kinda believe the opposite. A great line can make an average qb look great

that said, i Rodgers can throw those quick behind the line passes where he throws to a spot and the receive has to be there, and our receivers can be there? We will be really good. You know who, made a career out of throwing short quick passes and watching his receivers rack up YAC’s.

I always wondered why no one else did this. Rodgers can

I watched every play on Becton this morning. Guy had 2 shitty plays out of 27. IMO, I thought he looked pretty ok . Also watch every play on Tippman. He too had 2 shitty plays, but the rest were pretty good. The only combos I see are Becton at LT and AVT at RT, or Brown at LT and Becton at RT . The top 5 will play, and that may come down to Tippman vs Becton ( Brown LT, Tomilson, Tippman, McGovern AVT or Brown, Tomlinson McGovern, AVT Becton )

I'm assuming our next game against TB we will see more starters play (maybe for the first quarter). Game 3 is usually the tune up game, and Game 4 is for the bubble players to go make their last stand for a roster spot.

This week we have joint practices with TB, so this is the week the CS needs to make their decisions and get the units sewed up so they can build some chemistry together. We will really see this week, what Saleh is planning/feeling with the lineups. Honestly, the game yesterday made me feel a little better about the O-line (I was expecting a train wreck, and they performed better than expected).

We are getting there and decisions are coming really soon.

Becton went from second string to 4th string in the Panthers game. I don't think he is being counted on to start. Definitely not at LT.

Think the starters playing will come down to how much work they get in on Wed and Thursday in joint practice. Tampa will not be playing any starters in the game.

Both statements are true because it means the same just from opposite sides, the thing in common is one half of the partnership is great, let's hope that AR can make our line look great, maybe they will be inspired, but I have to say more draft picks like AVT were required before another Edge imo

The age old question, need vs value. It seems as though JD made the right call with the Iowa St edge vs a 2nd tier OT. The argument can also be made that a dominant defense is great protection for a QB, in that you aren’t constantly playing from behind and not forced to continually throw the ball. Just my humble opinion.

It is a fair comment, but we seem, if not stacked with A grade Edge talent, we have a healthy stable of them rotating in and out all game to good effect, yet we are still struggling on OL.

If I'm being honest this is the first draft in years that I was behind the curve with and hadn't done much studying of players, even for my own enjoyment.

fingers crossed we get it right, we are all well overdue some happiness lol

The edge situation seems like excessive indulgence! Our backups look like starters LOL. I get taking "best player available", but we seem to be over stacking the DL (we can't play all of these guys).

Maybe trades are coming (we can't keep them all). It's fun to watch and this defense may be scary good this year (fingers crossed). I'll reserve comment until we see how the season plays out. We may be overreacting to camp reports; the O-Line didn't look bad against Carolina.

True, but we weren’t planning on edge. Belicheck fucked us by trading the pick before ours to the Steelers who took our olineman. I guess they didn’t believe there was another lineman at that value and maybe no good trade down offers were on the table

I believe it was written earlier but it bears repeating that there are a number of issues plaguing the OL right now: new voices on offense in Hackett and Carter, and the all important lack of continuity. I suspect it’ll take awhile for these guys to gel and no first round pick or trade pickup would help at this point. I’m praying that AVT is completely ready to go, Brown comes back healthy, and Tomlinson bounces back from a down year. A lot is riding on these guys.

Funny thing is, this defense makes me wish brady were back on the cheatahs again. That would be fun

It's a beautiful thing when you can generate consistent pressure with your front four and NO blitzing!!!!

It opens up things tremendously.
