CWood21 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 2 minutes ago, TheOnlyThing said: I'm vocal about acquiring a quality ILB. I know you've been conditioned to only consider the draft as the sole means of filling gaping roster holes, but with Gute as GM the possibility exists that we might sign a FA or two or even make a trade for a player. I would be more than happy to sign a FA or to make a trade to improve the consistently wretched ILB play. I suspect and certainly hope that Gute will be active in filling the holes at WR, OT, DL, and ILB through a combination of the draft and FA/trades. Despite your preconceived notions about my opinions, the draft isn't the only way to improve the the Packers' roster. As someone who has asked you MULTIPLE times for such scenarios where you manage to "fix" our issues, I instead get sidestepping. Find me a SINGLE NFL roster who doesn't have a significant hole on their roster. You won't find one. Your gold standard in the Patriots has averaged less than 17 PPG over the last four games. There's going to be issues on your roster. That's just the reality that we live in with the salary cap. All I'm asking is do me a solid and put together a little mock offseason. Nothing crazy. Throw some draft picks and some FA contracts out there and let's see where we go from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexGreen#20 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 17 minutes ago, TheOnlyThing said: Yes, by all means do so. And then given that, in addition to getting "roasted alive" by Graham on one play, Kuechly also has 10 Passes Defensed and 2 INTs this season, go ahead and post JUST 1 of Blake's 2019 PDs or INTs. That would be a fun watch. Why on Earth are we using PBUs and INTs to evaluate pass coverage as a whole? This isn't Madden. Despite all your consternation about Martinez in coverage, he's still only allowed 56 fewer yards on the year. Kuechly has actually been targeted more on the year than Martinez has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FA pool is littered with older players and others who we despise like Darron Lee for example. The draft isn't all that great in the first two rounds either unless you really like Malik Harrison or Kenneth Murray. Murray would be a huge upgrade and give the ILB corps something it hasn’t had in forever- moxie. It just depends on how the draft board falls.

hitnhope Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Dylan Moses would look good as well. Not sure where he will go coming off injury. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadyToThump Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 5 hours ago, AlexGreen#20 said: Totally on board with the first paragraph. The second paragraph is just not making any sense to me. A rookie would die having to make the reads that Martinez is regularly being asked to make. I meant Summers is most likely able to match what Martinez does physically, obviously I doubt he'd be on BM's level mentally. I think Blake's best attribute is his cerebral game at this point, knows the playcalls and how to set the defense. His ability to stay healthy has to be up there too.

Packerraymond Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Going to be tough to do better than Blake unless you pay for Schobert or Trevathan. Draft looks bad this year at ILB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
