So today we're going to continue on. Looking at the offensive line, I think we're just going to skip tackle.

You know, I mean, look, we have without any question whatsoever, a starting left tackle and a starting right tackle,

and I don't see any scenario in which somebody takes that job.

There's also a question of, will the Packers draft a tackle and move them to guard?

Entirely possible.

If I happen to see something, we'll address it.

But I want to focus on the guys that are considered to be interior offensive linemen.

The other thing I wanted to address, because it's a weird thing. The Packers for a long time

have had a certain kind of offensive linemen that they've used and that they've worked with and whatnot.

To some degree, that's where the tackle converting to interior comes from, because tackles, generally speaking, not always, but they tend to be a little bit more athletic.

And so that works for the Packers because they like, you know,

sort of the lean athletic interior guys, which is not necessarily the case anymore. It's not to say

that you can't take some 330 pound tackle and kick them inside, like Belton, for example.

But anywho, I'm interested in this shift that the Packers have taken in regard to their offensive line and everything that comes with that, their run game and everything that needs to evolve with this.

I don't want to get too far down the rabbit hole of has this completely screwed us over because ever since we made this shift, everything has gone horribly, um, as far as the offensive line. But leaving all that aside, the bigger question that I had is,

is this a real actual shift in philosophy? Or is it just kind of a coincidence? Because as I've said,

there are always outliers. There's always the possibility.

There's always the possibility that they could draft a bigger guy that just end up being outliers.
