That was definitely Patrick.  Jenkins had all of one hurry in that game.  He was outstanding.  It was the middle of the line that completely melted on a regular basis.

They need to re-evaluate Newman at this point.  I don't care how good he was in camp, having two rookies side by side is just asking for trouble.  It also leads me to wonder just how good the competition was in the first place.  What happened to Runyon?

C over a LT?  Not in a million years.

Bak at LT, Jenkins at RT for now, Turner in at guard simply for vet presence next to Meyers and a complete re-evaluation of second guard spot.  Patrick would probably default into it but at least Runyon has a year under his belt.  Not sure why he wasn't in the running as a starter, he did a decent job last year.

I'm not a fan of Turner on the inside but he can't be worse than that train wreck on Sunday.  Really starting to see some serious boner rookie coaching staff bullshit popping up.

The most relevant discussion point is Jones vs. Linsley. As Henry says, it's LT over almost everything else outside of QB.

If you strip away the funny-money out years from the two contracts, it comes down to this.

Linsley, 2 years, 26 million, 13 million signing bonus, 7.8 dead million dead cap to cut after 2 years.

Jones, 2 years, 20 million, 13 million signing bonus, 6.5 million dead cap to cut after 2 years.

I'd have kept Linsley instead of Jones especially after Bakh got hurt. You could have then prioritized other positions instead of drafting a center in the second round (ILB perhaps?) and then felt better about moving Jenkins to LT for 6-8 weeks.

The Packers felt that having Jones and an extra 3 million a year was a better choice.

Not picking C over LT...proposing Jenkins playing there at what he is paid over what we have to pay Bak, along with rest of "no resigns" to spend $ on the defense.
