Shanedorf Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Here's McGinn's write up on Mo Wilkerson Muhammad Wilkerson (10.8%): It’s likely that defensive coordinator Mike Pettine lobbied to procure Wilkerson as a “street” free agent on the first day of the signing period in mid-March just as he pushed the Jets to draft him late in the first round in 2011. Pettine finished one for two, and there doesn’t seem to be any point trying with Wilkerson on another contract. From the start of training camp it was apparent the former Jet Pro Bowler would only go so far when it came to working hard. Wilkerson collected $37 million from the five-year, $86 million extension the Jets handed him in July 2016. After two desultory, post-money seasons New York cut ties and the Packers decided to try with a one-year, $4.7 million ($1.5M guaranteed) deal. Instead of leading the young defensive linemen, he often was last reaching drills in practice and then last going through the line. He had his money. His days as a hungry player were over. After a dud of a training camp Wilkerson started three games and lasted 115 snaps before suffering a season-ending ankle injury that required surgery. Among his six linemates, he ranked fourth in pressures per snap (one every 57.5) and sixth in tackles per snap (one every 19.3). He showed only a trace of pass rush. When he did make tackles against the run, it was less shedding at the point and more falling into or engulfing ball carriers. Now 29 and coming off a significant injury, there’s no reason to think he’d be any more motivated in 2019 here or anywhere else. Grade: D.

There's some days you read McGinn and think some kid must've walked across his lawn that morning, then there are other days where it seems like a kindergarten class took a field trip to it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he gets a notion in his head, its really hard to dislodge it I've shared some emails with the old curmudgeon over the years, he gets an A in stubborn-ness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isherwood Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 McGinn is a miserable old man who stubbornly let the world pass him by and is very angry about it. His last few podcasts with the journal sentinel feature the saddest lashing out about “the way things were” I may have ever heard in the world of sports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66fan Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Connor Barwin was just released by the Giants. Any interest by all that wanted us to draft him? (me included) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(me included) Nah, 32 and coming off an unproductive season. He's been trending down for a few years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Stocker over Lewis and Kendricks at tight end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
