[QUOTE="TJV, post: 560843, member: 4300"] The good news is even with last season’s OL, “according to Pro Football Focus, Lacy finished the year with 647 rushing yards after contact, which ranked sixth in the league. He forced 56 missed tackles, the NFL's fourth-highest figure.” [url]http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/eddie-lacy-hardens-run-attack-b99191226z1-242525201.html[/url] And that was with defenses not respecting the Packers’ passing game as they’ll have to if Rodgers is healthy all season. The big question mark on the OL is Tretter – and my guess is that in time he’ll be better than EDS. He’s better physically but obviously is missing experience. How long will it take him to get up to speed? If he is a quick study – and the coaches seem to love every aspect of his game – he should be OK and improve as the season progresses. I expect Bakhtiari to be better because he seems smart and dedicated with a bit of a mean streak (which I really like). Bulaga will upgrade Barclay at RT in both the run and passing games if he can stay healthy. So what I’m saying is the OL doesn’t have to be that much better than last season to finish out games running the ball because Rodgers’ presence should prevent them from completely loading up to stop the run.
