Dubz41 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) This is tough for me to admit, but Anthony Barr. It has some kind of poetic justice to it. Definitely Pettine's kind of tool. Time for the Traitor Street to run the other way. It also opens up the draft completely. Edited November 1, 2018 by Dubz41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a whopping 10.5 sacks in 4 1/2 seasons. He has 0 sacks this year. Fackrell has 9 sacks in 2 1/2 seasons and people think he's the worst OLB in the league.

He played well before the season that led to his big payday, but was just never healthy for a long period of time. I'm not sure what the deal is this year. His best year by far was his contract year. He had 11 sacks. He may have played decently previously but never to his potential, and not nearly as productive as in his contract year. I believe he's one of those guys and am calling him out as such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the word I would use for Barr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Barr is misused so much in that defense its hard to watch. He drops back in coverage more times than rushes the quarterback it seems. When he does rush the qb hes blitzing, not coming off the edge. As much as it hurts me to say, I agree in bringing in Barr. I said it when he was drafted, he needs to be an edge 3-4 just like he was in college. Edited November 1, 2018 by MaryTsraining3s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

15412 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I think the Packers are more likely to sign veteran free agents who get cut for one reason or another. The few top defensive free agents will be too costly for the value. We need to add some depth and competition through free agency but the draft is king.

I am hoping this drops his value on the open market a bit. That Rams game he was roasted in coverage a few times, hopefully that narrative follows him and we can get him on a reasonable deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LacyIsGood Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Demarcus Lawrence would be great. I am buying the idea that a true EDGE is overrated in the era of quick passes. But a guy who would bring the ability to show different looks on the line is where it's at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 The bad blood between Rodgers and Barr, and probably other players on the Packers, makes me think this might not work. I can't think off the top of my head the last time GB signed a FA or made a trade for a player who was formerly a hated player - especially from a rival team or nemesis, but perhaps someone else here can dig that up (I don't think Martellus Bennett was ever a hated, bitter rival). Outside of douchiness, Barr could probably be better utilized here in GB, but he's not the ball-buster some folks make him out to be.

He played well before the season that led to his big payday, but was just never healthy for a long period of time. I'm not sure what the deal is this year. Other than the 2016 season, Perry has averaged 5.3 sacks per season over 5 seasons. He had 11 sacks in 2016 and subsequently got paid. With 1.5 sacks through 7 games so far this season, there is no reason to believe (short of an injury) that Perry cannot not come up with another 3.5-4 sacks to get to 5-5.5 on the year. Now, whether the $10.75M in 2018, $14.7M in 2019, $14.3M in 2020, and $14.1M in 2021 cap hits are worth that sort of production is an entirely different question.

Pettine will find a way. 47 minutes ago, MaryTsraining3s said: Do you watch many Vikings games? Anthony Barr is misused so much in that defense its hard to watch.

It opens up our draft to all possibilities. He's 26 and makes about the same as CMIII. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure the Packers don't subscribe to this theory. They really haven't added major assets at OLB in years. I think it was Collnsworth who was saying that interior pass rusher is where it's at because it take so many less steps to get home then it does for an outside guy. That in turn makes life miserable for QB's. Edited November 1, 2018 by {Family Ghost} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? Gute was allegedly in on Mack and had that trade gone through we'd have the highest-defensive player in the league at edge. As it is, Clay and Perry are two of the highest paid paid OLBs in the NFL. Now if no veteran is brought in to replace Clay and one of the top 2-3 picks does not go to EDGE in 2019 than perhaps I could buy into this notion.
