Spartacus Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Packers are deep at guard/RT. If they can just find one guy to play "average" LT they will be alright but I just don't know if there is a guy on the roster..... huge blow but with the rest of the lin intact hopefully they can scheme around it to an extent.

And they looked fine without him this year. David is the better player, Adams would be the bigger loss though easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you guys will be able to field at least a capable replacement. Looks like your likeliest 1st round matchup is the Bucs... and I certainly will be rooting for you guys in that game, for sure. Hopefully you guys can pull it through. Gotcha. Like I said, all three have been excellent, but Linsley has been 'I'm a FA after this year' excellent. Linsley just got back from a sprained MCL, so at least we won't be down both guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll give you extra time to compensate for the loss of Bakhtiari. I say this as somebody who has nothing to gain from your victory over the Bears. *whistles innocently* 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 (edited) Let me preface this by saying this sucks, is a loss, and a huge morale gut punch... HOWEVA I don't think this will have as big an impact as one would think given DB is the consensus best LT in all of football. OL is always about the sum of its' parts, and the weakest link rather than the strongest link is what determines how well an OL ultimately functions. So the big concern isn't so much the loss of an all-pro level tackle, rather it's do you have anyone behind him that is just good enough to get by? Based on what we've seen, I'd say that answer is a resounding yes. Whether it's Wagner or Turner at the LT and the other at RT, you've got a solid LT. I guess Jenkins is a possibility too, and you just slide everyone. Now the timing is definitely brutal. There is no time for tune-ups games or low stakes chemistry building, you're entering a game with the 1 seed on the line and then it's the postseason, but all things considered this makes me knock the Packers SB odds by maybe 1%.

Wagner would be back at full strength and could at least shore up RT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnarok Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 We lose Bakh and they get Akiem back this week. No fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChazStandard Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 With the DLs potentially in the NFC field - Tampa, LAR and NO especially - that could be a big loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 They are still going to win the Superbowl. 2020 may be over but its still the 2020 season. Its destiny and a kick in the nuts. Feel bad for the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
