From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
Palmy - "Very few have the ability to truly excel regardless of system. For many the system is the difference between being just a guy or an NFL starter. Fact is, everyone is talented at this level."
Not to be the bearer of weird news, but our run D might actually be above average?
Not saying that only RB runs should count or anything. But we have yet to play a team whose QB runs are actually part of the run game; thus far QB runs have been scrambles. The 49ers also had runs by WRs (3) and a TE (1 by Kittle). And I'm not discounting that.

How exciting is it to have young guys like Jenkins, Myers, Newman, and Runyan locked in together for a couple more years, and another one considering Jenkins isn't leaving.
Like, look at the contract status of our OL after this season:
Turner: one more year
Jenkins: one more year
Bakhtiari: two more years
Runyan: two more years (including the ERFA year)
Newman: three more years (including the ERFA year)
Myers: three more years
