He's a dude who was hyped to be a first round guy when he was a sophomore (undeservedly imo). Kinda played himself down to an UDFA, but still had the traits. He was starting to put it together, at least on the inside. Don't expect an all pro, but a solid enough bench depth guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampfgeist Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 From the Packerswire post regarding his trade: Van Lanen played 71 snaps (65 at left guard, six at right tackle) over two preseason games with the Packers this summer. He didn’t allow a pressure and has the team’s highest overall grade in pass protection, per Pro Football Focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While our two starting tackles were hurt. Or maybe that was off-season mini camps. Either way he was surpassed by draft picks pretty quickly. That being said...I think he has the talent to play in the league. He needed strength coming out. Our o-line coach is now our OC...and he is excellent at developing linemen. It says something that this trade happened. Hopefully he helps you out, but I'd be leery if you throw him out there as a starter this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Fun to have guys that another team wants. I'd assumed he'd be an easy PS stash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refugee Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, St Vince said: He wasn't making the 53. Best to get something for him instead of letting him end up in Chicago. Yep. Plus if things bust in Jax, he’s a hometown boy so he’ll probably be just down the street next July. Makes the hill for Hanson or Jones a bit easier to climb.

Gute just traded our highest rated pass protector on the OL for peanuts. Fool. Disclaimer: I can neither confirm nor deny that I think PFF OL grades are useless.

I feel like Robbie Gould is a cautionary tale for a lot of NFL franchises. He was a good kicker for the Bears for a lot of years, but they asked him to take a paycut because he was getting up there in age and might be falling off, Gould says "no thanks" becomes a free agent, finds another team where he's been great. Meanwhile the Bears have had kicking mishaps so severe that they literally ruined a head coach (as Matt Nagy *obsessed* about the double doink.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
