GREEN BAY — Lane Taylor is no dummy. He knows when your new coach says you’re competing with a second-round draft pick to keep the starting job you’ve held for three years, your spot on the Green Bay Packers offensive line is no longer secure.
So while the seventh-year left guard is in no way ceding his starting spot to rookie Elgton Jenkins, he’s also realistic enough to know he could outplay Jenkins and still wind up out of a job — since the 6-foot-6, 312-pound Jenkins was drafted in part because his athleticism fits Matt LaFleur’s outside zone running scheme better than the 6-foot-3, 324-pound Taylor.
