I agree Tonyan has quicker feet than Bakh, which I would expect. Relative to other OTs though, Bakh's footwork is amazingly quick.
I don't remember reading it, but someone posted here that MLF said he was holding Bakh out until TC begins. Sure doesn't look like it.
I think if we can get Bak in the lineup we will be so much better. Teams can hide at OG a little better than that Blindside OT role. I don’t think that’s some big secret, but especially here in GB, it seems we’ve got a bunch of guys that could play inside without too much concern. LT though is such an important position and the fact we’ve been able to function as well as we have without #69 is commendable.
It was in one of those threads, because this is where i read it. Anyway, I asked then, if it meant he wasn't doing anything, or if he just wasn't doing team drills. I expect guys like him to be doing individual stuff and OTA's are a good time to do it when all the staff is there to observe and treat and then make adjustments to his program and send him back home for a while. Never really got an answer, but that video answers it, and i'm good with it.
Agreed. No reason to take unnecessary chances. OTAs gave him a chance to continue his rehab.
That’s about as simple but accurate a summary as I’ve read. If he got injured with a T shirt on?
No kidding. We all better hope Bakh stays healthy this season, and beyond. None of us is getting younger.......
Speak for yourself! I’m as young as I feel and I feel… well.. oh crapola!
Got it, thanks. Sounds like he got somewhere around $12 mil last year. I think I could get by on that.... I just got my knee replaced and I got, well, never mind. It was a little short of $12 mil. Hey, I just want him back playing.
Fool me once...... Didn't DeGuarra tear his ACL in his rookie year? I'm not sure.
Yeah that video is posted 02 June 2021
Thanks. So we haven't seen Bakh working out at all. MLF wants to hold him out of mini camp. I wanna be positive, but damn!
I agree. It doesn't look like he's doing anything, or if he is, it's not in front of the press. And we know we won't see him doing anything at mini camp. Well, we gotta wait until TC. Don't mean to be a downer, but this isn't good news IMO.
It’s funny and maybe not you specifically. But you come in here to simply inform people someone is progressing fine to basically say relax. They fight you and go victim on you like it’s their Mom you’re talking about.
OK Oldschool, I certainly believe what you say. I'm glad to hear all of those guys are doing something (and those step drills are not easy, especially for guys that big). I'm hoping Bakh is ready to go on opening day. As for Tonyan and Jenkins, week 8 would be great. I'm guessing Tonyan may be ready a little earlier.no no no. You guys are worry warts. How did you make it through Covid???!!! My Lord forgive me
I’m telling you I saw David Bakhtiari, Khylin Hill, Robert Tonyan and Elgton Jenkins several days ago in a step drill going full throttle. I saw him with my own eyes and he looks fine. Khylin Hill and Tonyan and Elgton wouldn’t have been in a rehab group last year
Someone may have posted an old video, but not that group last week I witnessed it I think on the Packers app?? I watch lots of stuff and I’m not going Back to hunt my time is too valuable. I’ve got people to see places to go, kids pull-ups to help change.
That said he still needs to suit up, by why rush Bak coming back in June? Matt said this was their plan from go, he’s not lying and if someone was that bad they can’t chop through that floor drill at that full speed. Hill did also and so did Big Bob. Elgton did too. I bet then entire group is back before week 8 and I’m being conservative. We all got shell shucked by Z’s week 2 surgery and a setback with David last season and living in pins n needles. Nothing more.
I'm glad you said this. In the case of Bakhtiari working out NOW, I got pretty jazzed. He's a big part of that OL, the best T in the NFL IMO, and so news about him is BIG.
