Continuity is a key element to effective offensive line play. However, the Green Bay Packers have had very little of that this season.
Through eight games, the Packers have already had seven different offensive line configurations that they’ve had to utilize to varying degrees –and recently, these adjustments have had to be made on game day. Mostly this is due to injuries, but also because of poor play, specifically Royce Newman at right guard.
Below is a look at each combination used at various points this season:
Yosh Nijman – Jon Runyan – Josh Myers – Jake Hanson – Royce Newman
Nijman – Zach Tom – Myers – Hanson – Newman
Nijman – Runyan – Myers – Newman – Jenkins
David Bakhtiari – Runyan – Myers – Newman – Jenkins
Bakhtiari – Runyan – Myers – Hanson – Jenkins
Tom – Jenkins – Myers – Runyan – Nijman
Bakhtiari – Tom – Myers – Runyan – Nijman
While, naturally, all eyes are on Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay receivers, and Matt LaFleur’s playcalling, the movement that the Packers have experienced along the offensive has been a major contributor to the offense’s struggles as well.
