Pugger Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 1 hour ago, packfanfb said: This is my nightmare scenario Week 1 against the Bears except we are down 1 at the time. After the game, when LaFleur is asked about Carlson, he responds with "it takes all 11." LaFleur isn't going to throw a player under the bus to the press. That would be counterproductive.

Lodestar Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 1 hour ago, craig said: Thanks! That makes sense. Glad it's intentional and reasoned, rather than a reflection of arm strength. Dumb thought, but I think Brees and Brady were sometimes good at being both accurate but also throwing it with enough air that guys could adjust. Sometimes Rodgers and Favre threw such rockets that guys didn't have time. Not just deep throws. Sometimes guys had to work so hard to just catch imperfect-but-catchable throws that adjusting their feet and catching in stride for YAC was hard. I think Rodgers improved on some of that in recent years. Got a lot better on screen passes, for example, that were softer-and-more-catchable than back in the Starks era. He sucked last year, but Russell Wilson in Seattle is the first guy who comes to mind for me. Throw it up there and let your guy go get it. I wonder if it's being emphasized this year because we have so much more speed at WR and TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm too concerned with Love week 1 to care that much about him. If Love looks good and the defense improved Gb would smoke Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know why he dropped so far? Cuz he's looking like the steal of our draft class right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read some reports he was a press corner who was a liability in zone. Also that he had a tendency to bite on double moves. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/carrington-valentine/32005641-4c32-6982-299a-6d8af31b45ab Edited August 16, 2023 by Brat&Beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think there were issues between Barry and Jerry Gray that affected what happened on the football field. There seems to be no lack of aggression by the secondary with Greg Williams at PGC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
