Cakeshoppe Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Fwiw Brice was IRed for that same ankle with a ligament tear last season. Had surgery to repair it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly even guard. If we sign a WR and a pass rusher, absolutely, sign an ILB. If signing an ILB doesn't keep us from adding a WR/Pass rusher, sure. Absolutely. Otherwise... We don't need a WR, we have tons of young guys making splashes. EDGE as long as Biegel, Fackrell, Gilbert keep looking good they are going to hold tight. The roster has no one to replace the role Ryan played. ILB is most important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sign a pass rusher, Clay Matthews can play more at ILB, Fackrell could try playing ILB. Signing a pass rusher fixes both positions. Signing an ILB fixes only one. I'm not sold on Rodgers trusting anybody other than Adams, Cobb and Graham. Maybe Allison. I think we have plenty at WR, but I don't think what we have past Adams/Cobb at WR are good enough for Rodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really only have 2 vets of Pettine's defense anyway, Wilkerson and Tramon. Doesn't even have to play it that well, just a guy that can stuff the holes and hold up well in traffic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Penske Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Brice is walking on it and not even in a boot/crutches. Dosent even look to swollen from the pic. Have to think he’ll be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want Burks in the hole trying to take on the guard to stop Jordan Howard and Dalvin Cook on 3rd and 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cakeshoppe Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 The LS we dropped a draft pick on has now had 3 bad snaps in like 8 attempts. 63% success rate is uhhhhh not good. Crosby still nailed 2 of the 3 though. Triner has reportedly been perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB's are going to be what TE's were 5 years ago IMO. Surprised it hasn't happened sooner when you really think about it. Wut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta point to him four years down the road and compare him to Quenton Nelson and lol at everybody who wanted Nelson. Guess I'll have to find five other interior offensive linemen drafted in the 2nd-7th rounds that have as good as or better career than Nelson will. I want him to retire so I can scream about gute drafting busts in round 5 daily for a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannondale Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 14 minutes ago, Norm said: Wut Almost every team in the playoffs used RB's in the passing game as not only check downs, but actual weapons to gain chunks of yardage. I think this trend will be hot, just like at the height of everyone trying to find the next TE weapon, which peaked about 5 years ago, and still continues, but much harder to find. RB's have been shown to stretch the field vertically, and can also stretch the field sideline to sideline. The Packers are way behind the league in this regard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a WR playing RB and we still target our running backs less than any other playoff team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
