I think a lot of our issues with the backups are based solely on a lack of experience. We're getting young very fast and that's something TT and his staff have built into their philosophy. I'm concerned, yet I'm not. The good news is that we'll finally get to see some holes filled in the next...
I too wish we could've drafted Barrett Jones. We could've gotten Bakh later in that round. JC Tretter was a MASSIVE reach on TT's part and he's hurt now. I said it was a wasted pick when we picked him because he probably could've been had in the 6th. Coaching has been an issue for the past 6...
Oooorrrrr, it could be possible that Newman heads to AndrettiAutosport and they get their start with Newman as it's premier driver and someone like Aric Almirola as the 2nd driver.
I really REALLY hate this. I'm a HUGE Harris fan and though he and Lacy would've been a DEADLY 1-2 punch this year.
However, this is a mixed blessing because we'll probably carry 4 backs and Green and Starks will get ONE last shot now that a fire has been lit under their asses with the Lacy...
Yeah, there was another guy I thought we should've drafted with that spot too though it wasn't Burfict. It was quite evident Coleman was going to be a UDFA. I'm taking a major assumption here that the team thought they wouldn't be able to snag him in UDFA so they liked him enough to draft him. I...
I as well unfortunately. Just our luck with that...
I'd like to hope that our play-calling would be diverse enough that once the regular season starts, it might not matter how well the O-line is doing as long as we can keep the defense on its heels. I'm confident the first team will quickly...
:10:Couldn't've said it any better myself. There were a few times where it appeared that they barely handed the ball off to Lacy. I think the coaches will instruct him to drive forward instead of dancing to the sides the next time that happens...
I'm very concerned as well, which I stated in my post in the other thread. When I saw our O-line in the second half just STRUGGLE, I couldn't help but think it was a coaching thing, however, I tried to focus on the O-line on the replays and I have to question whether it was a coaching issue, a...
Yup, bust...
I'm very frustrated with this. I was incredibly optimistic when we drafted him and thought he was incredibly underrated despite being a first round pick.
:agree:
Couldn't agree more. The way he overthrew Finley on that fade route was inexcusable. Frankly, I could've made that throw. Idk what it is with Harrell but he's clearly hit his ceiling.
Last night's game was very sloppy by both teams. The fact that we had to punt three or four times...
But that's my point. Just because the guy looks like he'll be the starter doesn't necessarily mean he'll be the starter. I think they're grooming Bakh to be the LT for the future. If anything is clear, it's that Bulaga is injury-prone and Sherrod probably won't be back anytime soon.
Or I remember Bulaga playing nothing but LG during his rookie season only to get moved to RT once the season started. IIRC, Lang was inserted as the starting LG over Bulaga that year. This is preseason and while I, like many Packer fans, hope Bakh is the starter, I'm not holding my breath. We've...
This has been our Achilles heal for the last 2 seasons. We cannot control the clock. When the Giants beat us, they beat us not by exposing our secondary or lack of effective pass rush. They beat us by controlling the clock. McCarthy can't seem to figure this out. Plus, as stated, the defense...
I don't think he'll supplant Newhouse until Newhouse has a bad game. A lot of Packer fans seem to be down on Newhouse, but it's pretty clear that he's still the starter, at least for now.
Bakh has a cool, laid-back attitude coming into the league which will serve him well as a player. Go read...
Datko is a bigger body. Again, this is how things have gone so far. Datko is a pure potential guy and I think he'll play better in the last two games, otherwise, he's back on the practice squad. As for the other G's: Lane Taylor is going to have to beat out Van Roten for the last G spot. I...
Ketchman brought that up in his mailbag article this week. He compared Lacy to Jerome Bettis because Bettis had "quick and light feet." You didn't really see much of that with Lacy at 'Bama because of how 'Bama's run game is structured.
I was also a big fan of the Stoneburner signing, but I...
Here's what I've got so far including practice squad
QB: Rodgers, Young
RB: Lacy, Harris, Franklin, Green
FB: Kuhn
TE: Finley, Mulligan, Stoneburner, Williams
WR: Nelson, Cobb, Jones, Ross(RS), Boykin, Walker
T: Barclay, Bakhtiari, Newhouse
G: Sitton, Lang, Datko(swingman)
C: EDS
DE: Neal...
That's what I was going off of before. Hyde's not a 4.4 guy sure, but it's not like he was as far off as Williams is. What I meant by Woodson's role is the idea of a rover type DB that is tough enough to blitz fairly regularly. We've already established that one of Hyde's strengths is that he is...
