Dont worry about the #1 WR. With the haul of draft picks we'll be picking up from trading Rodgers.....we'll have the pick of the litter  :)

That would be great but doesn't do any good without a legit QB.  Shame about Jameson Williams. He might be within our reach now.  Have to redshirt him for a season tho.   Wonder how far the kid will fall.  Still think some team may end up taking him in the first round.

Rob Demovsky -   Packers run block win rates, via ESPNStatsInfo:

T: Y. Nijman: 78.7% - 6th among Ts
T: E. Jenkins: 78.2% - 9th
T: B. Turner: 76% - 18th

Centers: L. Patrick: 72.3% - 9th among Cs
Centers: J. Myers: 69.2% - T17th

G: J. Runyan: 70.9% - 33rd among Gs
G: R. Newman: 70% - 41st

  • Peter Bukowski -   Good stats here from Rob Demovsky. ESPN's numbers have traditionally overrated Billy Turner a touch (he's still been a very good RT) and are underrating Jon Runyan Jr. Unfortunately, they nailed Royce Newman, which is why he's probably not starting in the playoffs.

^do you know if that stat is combining right and left guards?  Because the worst starter in that case would be 64th.  Making Newman our weak link, but serviceable. Just a thought.

Has Runyan ever played RG? I thought Newman's held that position until last week.

This season Runyan has been LG all 17.  I want to say that Runyan played some RG last season, but I could be wrong.  I know both Patrick and Jenkins played center, so I think that Runyan would have been the RG when Patrick moved over, but I am not positive about that.

Well thank you for that clarity....come back again soon :)

Peter Bukowski -    Rasul Douglas is 6th in Points Saved among CBs in only 11 games with 9 starts.

He's saved 3.36 points per game played.

The No. 1 CB A.J. Terrell saved 3 points per game.

So on a per-game basis, Rasul Douglas was basically the most valuable CB in the league.

Not sure how they came up with these stats......but there, you have it.

Mercilus's return is a genuine surprise.  Has anybody checked to see if Jenkins grew a new ACL?

Who would be the bigger asset for the playoffs if you could magically heal one ACL, Jenkins or Tonyan? Jenkins is the better player but I also think we're better equipped on the OL to absorb his loss over Tonyan...

Total surprise .. Keke also returned to practice today.  Healthy times in GB!  Doubtful on Jenkins, but they do reportedly have a new ACL procedure which can cut the time in half.
