Hell yeah brother, I'm always pulling for those 7th round receivers!

If Bakhtiari and Jenkins both come back strong, what O-line combo would you like to see? I have a hankering for this:
LT Bakh LG Jenkins C Myers RG Runyan RT Nijman
Why not Jenkins at RT? He certainly would excel there. But for me it’s how great he is in the run game. IMO the Packers’ interior last season wasn’t strong in the run game and had some glaring weaknesses in pass blocking too (I’m looking at you Royce Newman). Getting Elgton on the interior could cure many ills plus I’d enjoy watching him bitch-slap Aaron Donald once again. I’m bullish on Nijman and think he could do well at RT. Don’t know enough to understand whether moving JRJ to RG is challenging but I’d take him there over Newman in a flash.
Any others’ thoughts?
This is a great post/question and I wanted to add a couple of comments
You're are correct on the Packers interior being suspect last year - if you look at the snap counts, there might be some insight.
https://www.pro-football-refer...2021-snap-counts.htm
Starting OC Myers got hurt, he missed 75 % of the season. Lucas Patrick took his spot and while he's a scrapper, he's not good enough to start in GB. With back-ups at OT, Packers can't help everybody and so Patricks' limitations are on display.
Royce Newman struggled as you noted - so the question is can he overcome those struggles in 2022 ? Think back to how he got beat: he played like an undersized rookie.
After a year in the S/C program he won't be so under powered. Rodgers even commented on his improved 2022 physique. The other challenge for Newman
( college OT converted to OG) is that everything happens a tick faster inside and another tick faster in the pros.
Out wide at OT, there's more space in general and more space between the OT and the DE. Making the shift to guard just takes a little time - but the rookies' head is swimming while Rodgers is doing the maestro thing at the LOS.
Hopefully the game slows down for Newman
So 2/3 of your interior was either a back-up or a rookie; that probably won't be the case in 2022.
In general OGs are easier to find and the Packers have more depth there
If Elgton can play RT - positional value nudges him out there.
On the Nijman front, he's a colossal man - but he's all length - which is great for an LT vs DEs and speed rushers. But did you notice how Nick Bosa and others bullrushed Nijman ? He gets walked back because he's tall and not girthy.
For an RT, having girth & power in the run game is more important than at LT. Offenses are right-handed and having powerful run blocker there seems important across the league.
I have immense faith in Stenovich, so it'll be interesting to see how he deploys his charges come September. You made some excellent points above, I just think there are a few nuances that push Elgton toward RT.
Go Packers

Buried at the 18th hole. Simple headstone marker.
Fitting. Henry always wanted to be the 19th hole.
Don't forget to pay your respects before you head to the clubhouse.
#Packers CB Eric Stokes said Jarvis Landry "tried to big boy" him after whistle, "and I wasn't going for that." Hence, the fight.

I can't find the Jaire gif, but him trotting around behind the big WR with his hands behind his back... seems like he's the perfect mentor for Stokes.
Another WR in the mix. Travis Fulgham.
If this is the point where you people (TM) think that I’m going to say, “I can’t quit Fedya”…well, maybe I can’t.
@PackerHawk posted:Another WR in the mix. Travis Fulgham.
Packers are a little thin at WR for the Saints game on Friday, Travis knows the offense and can play in an emergency. Packers starters will sit and Danny Davis got hurt
Its possible MLF and Hackett communicated on this one, cause he was just released from Denver.

The screamed about Favre too.
Bob Harlan was Team Prez for 29 years and said the most vitriol he got from Packer Nation was trading for Favre and drafting Rodgers. By a huge margin.
Packer fans are idots, but at least they are consistent across decades

Yep, for many Packer fans is was Majik Man or bust.
The good news is if Love fails in the next 2 outings Brett Hundley is available. 
I was always more of a Deshone Kizer guy.
Here's some blooming blooms in our favorite colors
I wonder if Gute likes the look of flowers in green & gold ?

I spoke with Henry.
Sends his best and says if he sees another fucking flower picture he’s coming back to end this shit for once and for all.
Herman on yesterday's joint practice, including a (rave) review of Love's performance.
@Dr._Bob posted:
Is that the 19th hole that was being discussed earlier in the thread?
Not a surprise...Herman has been a Love fanboy since the jump. And maybe it was the greatest practice performance in the history of practice performances. Great for him. I'm more interested in seeing what he looks like when the bullets are real.
But at this point, all we know is his shortcomings are never his fault.
One good practice and the fellatio begins:

I've heard nothing from, or about him, in camp, so far. Now, he has been waived.
