skibrett15 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 let me explain the proper way to tank (hint: it's what we did the last few weeks of last year) 1) Don't start or play all of your best players. 2) Anyone who is slightly injured stays out 3) Give 'young guys' extra burn 4) Run vanilla stuff and don't go crazy on the game plan. SO basically -play to feature Jamaal Williams. Guys who are out there, play hard! Try to win a job! But probably you will lose because you are inferior talents and these are NFL teams we are facing.

Tonyan is Colt Lyerlia or however you spelled his name and every other tight end that we had wild hopes for. He's nothing, he won't be anything. I don't have any wild hopes for him whatsoever. However we carried him on the roster all season so they must think he has potential so you might as well give it a go. If it works bingo, if it doesn't we get a better draft pick. I'm under no illusions that players like him Donnerson and co have maybe a 1% chance of turning into something really good. But 1% chances hit occasionally.

AlexGreen#20 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Start Kizer, You can easily claim Rodgers' knee is bothering him and with the season over, you shut him down. Spriggs-Taylor-Linsley-Bell-Light on the offensive line. Bakhtiari, Bulaga, McCray to IR. Everybody's hurting Adams-MVS-EQ-Moore with Adams only playing about 50% of snaps. Williams playing 75% of snaps. Graham to IR with his thumb. +++ Clark needs to be playing about 30% of snaps if you're going to be playing him at all, which we shouldn't be. No change needed at edge rusher (wow that's sad) Martinez needs to not be playing in the dime and should only be playing in about half the nickel snaps. Don't really care what we do in the secondary. Can't get any more broken than it already is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Don't they need to get the linebacker, Burks, on the field and see what he's got? I didn't like the pick, but the kid is an athlete with wheels. I hope he gets reps so he can progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played a lot of different positions in college and there are +/- to that But he definitely struggled with both the mental and physical components of playing NFL ILB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 You know, Shane, I was against him. But...he got a few consecutive snaps a few weeks ago. I saw him get absolutely destroyed in the running game. Like flat footed and decleated. The next play, I was watching to see if he gave up. He recognized the play, shot a gap faster than I've seen a GB linebacker shoot a gap in like, forever, and he made a good wrap up tackle. I came away knowing that the kid is not a quitter and that play recognition was going to be huge for him. I don't think he has the instincts, so he needs to study film and get live snaps. I'm all for giving him live snaps now and deal with the inconsistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't teach fast, but you can teach strong. When or if he learns to shed he could take a big leap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose out though... We could realistically end up with the third overall pick. That could be Bosa. No. No. Can't start thinking like that. We're still winning the Super Bowl. 32nd overall is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gopackgo247 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 that mock draft on Tankathon website has the Packers passing on Josh Allen and taking Deionte Thompson. thats insane. no knock on Thompson but if the Packers pass on Josh Allen, i give up. then they have us taking Damien Harris with the 30th pick. If that happen i might punch a hole through my TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman5252 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I wish there was a "tank light" option. I don't see the value culturally in young players growing in a dumpster fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their really only "winnable" games is against Washington whose on their 3rd string QB I believe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
