The Packer Offensive Line I think could be one of the best! Stay healthy & gain more experience - LOOK OUT!!!
Here are the 2013 Packer Offensive Linemen
Player & Years Experience
David Bahktiari - R
Don Barclay - 2
Josh Sitton - 6
TJ Lang - 5
Evan Dietrich-Smith - 4
Derrick Sherrod - 3
Brian Bulaga - 4
JC Tretter - R
Aaron Adams - R
Jeremy Vujnovich - 1
Marshall Newhouse - 4
Greg VanRoten - 2
Lane Taylor - R
Lance Coleman - R
Garth Gehart - 1
Andrew Tiller - R
That is a BIG list! Let's look at this years starters first:
David Bahktiari & Don Barclay at Tackles, Josh Sitton & TJ Lang at Guards & Evan Dietrich-Smith at Center. Overall, a good season! Especially, considering we lost our starting Left Tackle before the first pre-season game!! And replaced him with rookie David Bahktiari! For a rookie, a great job!! And considering not have Aaron Rogers for almost half the year! And the running game! What an improvement! Rushing stats, Packers were 7th best in the NFL & I think could be better! The offense line proved they could run block & pass block!!! Rushing TD's, 5th in the league with 17 TD's!
Here is a great website for offensive line stats!
Some other results, The Pack was 5th in Sacks given up!! THAT"s improvement!!
Packers - 5th in Sack given up - 30 sacks!!
In a stat called "Power Success" the Pack was 1st!!!
Back-up linemen this year Marshall Newhouse & Derrick Sherrod filled in adequately! I think Sherrod can be a starter & Newhouse will stay a back up. Now, when Bulaga comes back. WOW! I see an incredible competition next year! I think that battle & good health will make the Packer Offensive line one of the top f in the NFL!!!
The only free agent of consequence is Evan Dietrich-Smith. I again think, if he asked for too much, he is gone! Lang filled in at center when Dietrich-Smith was hurt! And, with Sherrod & Bulaga coming back, the Pack has plenty of depth!
Final Grade - Offensive Line - Strong (And next year could be excellent!)
My system is four levels 1 - Excellent, 2 - Strong, 3 - Needs Help, & 4 - Scary
