Chili Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 I hope the Packers management take notice of the reactions across Packerdom and be forced to change their minds about Barry if he was indeed the guy they are looking at. It's a legit tactic by the way for teams to leak out a name to gauge the reaction. I wonder if this is what happened here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat&Beer Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 What they should be more concerned with is what the Packers returning veteran players think of the hire. Can this guy sell his vision of what this defense will be like to the players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players had to go to him mid-season and basically tell him to quit doing certain things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds to me like there are 23 opportunities to be worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the individual talent they have on that side of the ball, I was fully on board with moving on from Pettine since I didn't think he brought out the best that this defense could have offered With the benefit of hindsight now though, there's no reason to believe that Joe Barry is the guy to do what Pettine couldn't. Pettine already had/has a far better resume than Barry ever did prior to coming to GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrILL! Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 1 hour ago, squire12 said: can you explain why GB was a perfect jumpoff for him? Do we/you know what he envisions as a proper pieces to run the system he feels would be most successful at the NFL level? What’s to explain? Local kid who the local fans already adore who has shown tremendous promise as a DC. If he wants to go the NFL, it’s going to be at a position coach or as a DC. With us he had a shot at the latter. He’s familiar with Pettine’s system and thus what changes or adaptations are needed to either improve it or transition away from it. Sure he could get an NFL offer from elsewhere (and may have previously) but this one sure lined up perfectly for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packerraymond Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Rodgers 1 SB win confirmed. Matt LaFleur turned from a prince to a toad after the Rams game. Awful job coaching the NFCCG, uninspiring hires. Meh. Completely pissed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannondale Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 After a decade of record setting collapses at every turn, just give me somebody that can put out a stable defense. DVOA, points per game, yards per game. Great stuff. You know what I remember ? Giving up 51 points in the desert. Giving up 200 yards rushing to a QB. Blown coverages in OT. Blown coverages in regulation. Giving up 150 yards rushing before contact. Getting torched by a team who didn't need to throw the ball 10 times. Hearing Troy Aikman say "wide open" more times than I can count. I have playoff PTSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 LaFleur probably thinking, "hey I was near dead last as an OC before the Packers hired me so I'll bring in the guy who was nearly dead last as a DC." Only problem is, Barry doesn't have Rodgers on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltarich87 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) "went for the experience" ugh. The retread route except this retread doesn't even have prior success to fall back on. Edited February 6, 2021 by deltarich87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Well at least now I have no expectations. Getting to 3 straight NFCCGs was a pipe dream anyways. Maybe Rodgers will have another MVP season. We'll remember for a long time that we blew our best opportunity in 2020 to be special. Can't miss on those.
