Packers O-Line Shake-up Imminent After Week 1 Woes
16 Sep
Summary
- Offensive line struggles were Green Bay's biggest issue in Week 1.
- Coordinator Stenavich indicated rotation to find the best combination.
- Key players like Aaron Banks and Anthony Belton may see role changes.
The Green Bay Packers' offensive line emerged as a significant concern after their Week 1 defeat, prompting potential adjustments. Offensive Coordinator Adam Stenavich confirmed that the unit's struggles necessitate a change, signaling a rotation of players to identify the most effective combination.
Stenavich indicated that the offensive line seen in the initial game is unlikely to remain consistent throughout the season. The team is considering bringing back starting left guard Aaron Banks, who was sidelined due to tendinitis. Additionally, second-year lineman Anthony Belton is being considered for a role at right guard, a position he started the offseason preparing for.
The coaching staff is exploring options, including shifting Bako-Bewele back to tackle to accommodate Belton at guard. While rookie Jager Burton was seen as a strong prospect for left guard, the decision was made to start Donovan Jennings in Week 1 based on practice performance. Stenavich's comments suggest a proactive approach to resolving the offensive line's weaknesses.
