[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 963132, member: 9033"] Most football analysts have the Packers oline as one of the best in the NFL. Yes, that's assuming the Packers get one of the top-2 LTs in the league back from injury but the oline is absolutely one of the best in pass protection in the NFL (now how much of that has to do with Rodgers is debatable). The run blocking will probably be decent until Jenkins gets back but I could see it being above-average one Jenkins is back and healthy. Last season the Packers actually ran the fairly well, the Packers offense is just really slow so the total number of offensive plays is pretty low compared to other elite offenses. Packers were 15th in offensive plays (I'm just using pass attempts plus rush attempts from pro football reference), 17th in rush attempts, and league average in yards per run attempt (six teams, including Packers, average 4.3 yards per attempt). Certainly not elite but better than a hoot, imo. Saw some pretty good evidence that Packers run playcalling is actually pretty predictable and that could very well be one of the primary reasons the run game underperforms at times. I'll provide the link below but an analyst working on a paper posted the change in the distance between the LB/SS and the RB after two seconds (e.g., how quickly the linebackers/safeties are recognizing the play and flowing to the RB); best in the NFL was (no surprise) the 49ers at 1.02 yards while the worst in the NFL were the...Green Bay Packers! Linebackers/SS closed the gap by 1.99 yards after two seconds. Certainly not a comprehensive test but there's got to be a reason that run defenders move towards the running back more quickly against the Packers than they do against any other team in the league.
