It would certainly be Intellectually dishonest to contend that Packer fans who have observed their defense struggle year after year have been arguing that if only the players on those struggling defenses were replaced with "more athletic" players (irrespective of any intellectual deficiencies those more athletic players might possess) then the defense would automatically be just fine. Good thing no one on this board is proffering that intellectually dishonest argument, right dude? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing no one on this board is proffering that intellectually dishonest argument, right dude? I remember those conversations taking place. And yes people were calling for more athletic players. The intellectual dishonesty from you was adding the word "unproductive" to my statement, when in fact I said no such thing. Adding other qualifiers to another's statement in order to prove it wrong or unjustified is precisely the definition of intellectual dishonesty.

Ragnar Danneskjold Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 I am not sure the point of this thread. Ted Thompson drafted two guys in 2017 that haven't lived up to expectations. What should we do, replace him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 These two are coaching staff strikes to me rather than FO strikes. Absolutely no reason Josh Jones shouldn't be a useful defensive player from what I saw in TC in both seasons. Adams similarly gifted, hands are so heavy. No reason he shouldn't be a rotational DL by now. We've failed miserably in developing these two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched every team we played, which is the best way to do an eye test comparison. All the brains in the world aren't helping the defense now.

Actual starters as opposed to the backups you pulled? Also this feels like it's about to get racist.

There are stories every week about defenses getting faster and more athletic, but they are wrong and we are right by drafting guys perfect for the 70's because they are smart. Best of all - the track record of our defense proves you right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how's not having Jake Ryan in there at ILB working out for us so far this year? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
