We already know their plan with Bak this season and it's that he simply will not practice at all during the week but will then be good to go for the game. He wasn't on the final injury report ahead of last weeks game which was on grass, but was put on it for this week with them playing on turf. We already know his thoughts on turf and he made it very clear again after the Rodgers injury. Ok fair enough I didn’t know that had been the plan all season.

Our other Thursday night game is on the road in DET....in which case, it's probably gonna be a turf issue. The NOLA game is at home next Sunday. The issue is the Detroit game is 4 days later at home vs. Detroit. Can he turn around and play in 4 days, 3 days rest? If he can, then why is he out today. TURF!

{Family Ghost} Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 The only positive is that Bak never practices, so Rasheed or Yosh should be getting plenty of work leading up to games. Still sucks though that Bak has got to a point where he dictates when he plays or practices. Packers should look to move him if one of these young guys steps up.

If Walker or Nijman plays well today, trading Bak may be a option at the deadline, although his value is going down sitting tuft games. The number of teams we can trade him do went down significantly because of the turf situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no chance of that happening. I don't think his health is the issue, he can play. I think this is totally about him not wanting to play on turf and the Packers kissing his ***. Basically he's replaced 12 in that department. Edited September 17, 2023 by packfanfb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes...I understood what you meant and replied "yes" - I think he can do it. Do I know he can? Nope. The field surface plays to our favor.....so it simply becomes a knee-health thing. I'm not taking the fact that he's not practicing on Thursdays as evidence he cant play in any Thursday games....but no GB doctors are actually telling me the condition of his knee.

Gives us a bit of hope trading Bak won't be a disaster. His value is going down because of this bull**** in any potential trade. I know, trading him is highly unlikely.

I would think the team and Bak would have to be on page with this to some degree. My question to Bak would be, so if your team makes it to the Super Bowl and it’s on turf you’re sitting out?… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Falcons don't have a top EDGE rusher. Walker will be fine at LT today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isherwood Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 DB69 would be the first guy to post about how soft kids are these days, but he won’t play on turf. Get bent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they light up the scoreboard today you can pencil in LaFleur as leading candidate for coach of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
