News today - David Bakhtiari out for the season - an ACL practice injury. Now what?
First, Aaron Rodgers. The left tackle is a QB's BEST friend! Bakhtiari is THE highest paid left tackle in the league! So, if ANY team loses their left tackle it is a critical loss! So, do the Packers have the depth to overcome this?????
Never, easy, but the Packers are in a good place! Why?
Reason 1 - Elgton Jenkins - this second year player has turned heads in the NFL! All Pro already! Playing 3 positions - center, guard, & tackle! So, this player is special with a capital S!
Reason 2 - Corey Linsley - he is back! Missed a few games. Again, the NFL players have recognized him as maybe the BEST center in the league! So, this is GOOD!
Reason 3 - Billy Turner - this pro, in year 7, has also proved VERY versatile! He may be moved around the offensive line where needed! He is solid!
Reason 4 - Lucas Patrick - the Underdog! An un-drafted free agent, spent 2016 on the practice squad! He has played like he has something to prove! He will give his VERY BEST!
Reason 5 - Rick Wagner - remember, he came over from the Lions to replace Bulaga. He has done a good job, but is nicked up. Is adequate when healthy!
Reason 6 - Jon Runyan has great genes, but still needs to do it on his own! At least at guard, he can hold his own. Playoff time, we do not know! Josh Nijman & Simon Stepaniak in a pinch, but not long term this year!
So, The Packers can survive, BUT Bakhtiari WILL be missed!!!
Time for...........................................
Next Man Up!
