He might have the best, quickest feet on that entire line, even over Jenkins. It's sick, in a good way. I think he was a plus in pass protection. And a neutral in the run game. He can get beat across his face pretty easily. He also tries to get low, but can't get low enough on some plays. He's got some room to grow in the run game is what I'm saying. But if you want a big guy with long arms and good feet as a blindside protector, he's passing that test. I'm not sure that he won't compete for a starting tackle spot next season. No offense to Turner. Yosh just looks that good. I guess this is what I was looking to get at, with Elgton out this year, which combo is our best line if/when we get healthy. MLF has always said the best 5 will play, Bak, JRJ, Myers, Newman, Turner or Bak, JRJ, Myers, Patrick, Turner or Bak, JRJ, Myers, Turner, Yosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Personally I prefer the third option. But that isn't what we will do. Newman is our starting RG. So #1 is probably the one we will roll with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTwoSixFive Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) For next year I rather like Bakh, E.J. (when he returns), Myers, Runyan, Nijman. This is no disrespect to Turner who has played very nicely at RT, but he might be a loss to ease the cap situation, as 2022 is the final year of his contract. He costs $8.9m in 2022 after a restructure, and would save about $4m and cost just under $5m in dead cap, if cut. I would be perfectly happy if Turner stayed through his final year (he'll be 31 next year) and Nijman became the top backup OT for a year (this assumes Nijman will not outplay Turner next year, which is no certainty). I like Runyan over Newman at RG after he has filled in at LG for E.J's recovery, but I need to bear in mind that Newman is just a rookie. I wasn't enthusiastic about him being drafted, but I'll root for him if he turns out well. Edited November 29, 2021 by OneTwoSixFive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't enthusiastic about him being drafted, but I'll root for him if he turns out well. Nijman has really developed his game to go with his natural born talent, it’s great to see and he probably deserves a chance to take the next step. I have no idea what the next year brings for him but he’s shown he can run with the ones. Turner has been the only consistent vet presence this year and I think it’s been very important in these games we’ve had to scrape through with the young guys. For the money, saving 4mil to eat 5, and the drain in talent, I would hope we keep him. He has some limitations but has just gone to work and created stability at RT in a year that has been anything but stable on the line. He has also shown great versatility at G and LT. In the end, next year’s cap will be all about what happens with 12 and to a lesser but still important extent with 17. Once those two are final, the rest of the decisions will be made.

On the deep pass to Davante where the commenting duo gushed about M4's ability to creatively take Davante away from Ramsey, Yosh blocked two edge rushers on the same play. He didn't stonewall them, but he got enough of both of them to keep Rodgers clean for the throw. That was some impressive stuff to me.

And Turner's played well - in both pass/run games per this chart https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FFjAkLdXwAkgbiH?format=jpg&name=900x900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonKarman Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 No way we cut Turner with the deal he has. You don't cut a starting level OT who's gonna make less than 6M. You might wanna extend him though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if can beat out Turner, then Nijman is even better than I think he is. Turner is a really good football player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoremore Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Yosh is an UFA. He just made himself some money. Absolutely keep Turner that's a no brainer. Let him finish his contract wouldn't extend him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
