coachbuns Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Just about done with King. How in the heck can anybody be so frail/injury prone? He isn't worth a lick if he isn't available. Potential is great thing but nothing beats steady eddie on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacman5252 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I feel like King is going to pull a Nick Perry, stay healthy and ballout for the first time in his contract year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be a little more consistent than the last couple of seasons. I agree that we can't take much more loss before we are really scraping the bottom of the depth chart. It remains to be seen how badly King and Jackson are injured. On an optimistic note, I do like the physical profile of Tony Brown and Ka'Dar Hollman, they give us a lot of speed. I would like to see them in live action before making any trades. Jackson hopefully should be back soon. Heard he was sprinting on the field today. His foot must be pretty damn close.

boratt Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 It’s really disappointing because he’s such a unique talent. He’s gonna have to join up with Jaire and do yoga. Its his second year in the defense though. He’s got a month before games start and if he did miss the first couple, he does have a good feel for what pettine is doing so his year isn’t shot yet. I’m glad Hollman is doing so well, but damn, I had my hopes up for King this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfman Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Just hoping beyond hope that the King thing is a minor set back and he'll be ready by the second preseason game and for the opening bell, week 1. Need to get Josh Jackson back on the field too. It is (tongue in cheek) encouraging there are a few younger guys who appear taking advantage of the opportunity.

deltarich87 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 I don't blame King. For whatever reason(genetics, just bad luck, etc), some dudes bodies just can't seem to hold up to the rigors of whatever sport they play. That said, we've reached the point where we can stop relying on King contributing anything and if he does consider it a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodjahs12 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Just now, spilltray said: Or Casey Hayward? He spent most of his rookie deal with hamstring injuries Right. Similar deal. I just compare King to Kirkpatrick because theyre both huge corners with better than expected athletic ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He spent most of his rookie deal with hamstring injuries So if King leaves and signs elsewhere and becomes a Pro Bowler, we can expect Packers fans to be enraged that we didn’t re-sign King who they were mad at in the first place?

Not expecting a Hayward-type evolution by King but who knows. Hayward had 9 picks in his first 3 years at GB and always was a playmaker. King hasn't shown that through 2 years so far.

TransientTexan Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 1 hour ago, spilltray said: Or Casey Hayward? He spent most of his rookie deal with hamstring injuries Not really comparable. Hayward played more snaps his rookie year than King did in his first 2 years, and played in 79% of GB’s games. King hasn’t even played in 50%.
