Randall, Rollins, Clinton-Dix, Ryan, Martinez, Clark, Lowry, Elliott, Banjo, Evans, Whitehead, Fackrell, Hawkins Yes, but this time we have some legitimate talent already established in the Smiths, Clark, and Amos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Mike Daniels, Clay Matthews, Morgan Burnett, Sam Shields were not legitimate talent? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played 1 game in 2016 Which was several of those guys first year. Morgan Burnett was up and down but yeah, Matthews and Daniels were studs.

MacReady Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Best reason for optimism is Savage and Alexander. @Packerraymond 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOnlyThing Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 19.5 ppg in 2019 compared to 25.0 in 2018. Pettine and Gute deserve a lot of credit. A LOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packerraymond Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 That was the most dominating Packers defensive performance that my intoxicated mind can remember right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just proves what a tool you are! How did Cousins play action work without Cook today? Should I act as childish as you and pump your reply for relevance?

Sasquatch Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 4 minutes ago, AlexGreen#20 said: Bumping this for relevance Safe to say the scheme change in the middle of the season made them look like jags at times. I’ve never thought they were jags like some, but I sure has heck didn’t think the soft scheme did them any favors either. Tonight’s game plan and execution was fantastic.

Golfman Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 On 12/22/2019 at 11:00 AM, Golfman said: Here are my reasons for optimism on defense: young, developing talent. WE have a lot of guys who are in years 1-3 who are still learning. Some will never get there but there is a chance 3-5 of these guys can become exceptional football players. Some may even become dominant at their position. Then you throw in the vets who will be around a while who are solid to exceptional and the talent is there. Just need to put the pieces together in a cohesive unit.

If you were honest you'd have done the same and by the way, King and Gary played like JAGs up until this game. Let's hope it continues because it makes our defense special, like tonight if they do!

nickel Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Got some cats at end, a boss in the middle, a few young dudes in the secondary. Not sure what you are gonna get from week to week but a core group of 3-5 will get better every week. If they get hot and they keep getting to the QB it gets weird in a good way very quickly.
