Arguably guys who are better players than Brice like Reid Vaccaro and Mike Mitchell Forgot about Mitchell. Wouldn't mind him at all. He's not the athlete anymore like Reid or Vaccaro but he's smart and a solid leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed But great solutions are pretty hard to come by in August after all of the installs and OTAs under a new DC Maybe there's an ILB with previous experience in Pettine-world and maybe the 3 DL nickel only uses one ILB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexGreen#20 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Vaccaro is a name if you can get the buy in. Who knows where his head is at right now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware he was available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any acceptable vet safeties out there? This is why Greer Martini was playing snaps. They knew all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Ryan had an ACL injury in college before if I remember correctly so he should know what an ACL injury feels like so based on his reaction you just know it's serious. Other than Bowman I can't see any free agent worth kicking the tyres on,. There are former Packers still on the market such as David Talley, Cody Heiman and Derrick Mathews. But unfortunately like our in-house options none of them comes close to Ryan's size and/or athleticism. Martini is probably the closest like-for-like replacement we currently have on the roster. Another option is a trade, throw away a 6th or 7th rounder for some prospect languishing on some team's depth chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JQ1 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Just a darn shame for Ryan and Brice, although I guess we’ll have to wait and see on Kentrell. Maybe Milwaukee’s own Marwin Edwards can get some footing and become a viable stop gap option at safety. That written, the Packers are MIGHTY green at safety beyond HHCD. So I’d be surprised if Gute doesn’t bring in a veteran (or two) to stabilize that position ala Jahri Evans a couple years ago. Meantime, Pettine will be challenged as to how to deploy the guys he got. Film at 11... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
