I don't mind Romo anywhere near some of the other guys .. named Troy A. There are a few that one would rather listen to the radio broadcast but can't due to time lapse between the plays and the announcing. Norm could be broadcasting and I'd like it if the Packers win next Sunday! Sorry Norm .. couldn't help myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was pretty disappointed with MLF’s handling of the Barry situation - I didn’t want him fired, his positives far outweigh his negatives and I’m hoping this will be a learning opportunity for him, but I did feel there was a very real chance he was losing the team. Whatever he did this week - the suspensions, the talks, etc - it clearly worked. Beyond Barry calling better plays, the defense played with a passion that clearly wasn’t there last week. That feels like good leadership to me. Too late .. Barry can't process in game changes fast enough. Even worse, his soft zone game planning doesn't fit his players until the heat gets really hot and forces him to get aggressive. Every game he gets aggressive with blitzes/stunts the defense looks decent. He just can't help himself and reverts to the soft zone crap. Sorry dude, Barry's positives DO NOT outweigh his negatives regardless how the season ends. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove JA / Stokes Insert Valentine / Ballentine Defense passivity problem is largely solved. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rodgers misses that first play deep throw to Reed like Love did, that would be game over for Rodgers, he would have a terrible game. Love is so cool and poised he isn't the mental midget that Rodgers is. Apologies wanted to start 2024 with a shot to Rodgers!!! That's alright. Get it off your chest, and then let it go! He's no longer on the team! You will feel much better once you do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Toure's season has been a legit disaster. He was high on my list of players I thought would take a big step up this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little did I anticipate that Reed, Wicks, Heath, and Melton would all fly way past him. I wonder if Doubs and Heath are competing for the Lazard-blocking role? They were 1st and 3rd in snaps yesterday (56, 46), but got only 6 and 2 targets out of 34. Will be interesting to see whether Doubs will retain a main role, or whether by next year with another full camp, the younger guys will move past him?

Guess which one is going to happen? Guess whose post is in jeopardy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When GB actually has a healthy WR room, Watson and Reed are the clear top guys, while Doubs/Wicks share the WR3 snaps. If GB does look to grab another WR on day 2 (I don't think they will) Doubs could be pushed to WR5 sooner rather than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets into the play, says something about it and gets out. I think Romo believes it's his job to talk incessantly and fill time from snap to snap. Turns into white noise for me.

There is a place on this team with a lot of snaps for Romeo Doubs. Having said that, it feels like Wicks and Reed have sort of already passed him. That is one heck of a #4 WR though.

Between everybody being injured, hard to guess whether his relative snaps might supercede his relative targets by a fair bit, for blocking-role purposes? But yeah, whether a draftee, Heath, or Melton, Doubs getting pushed to WR5 or even less is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed is such a stud. Wicks and Doubs can share #3. Melton has earned a spot on the roster. Like I said in the draft section we do not need anymore WR's. Watson, Reed, Wicks, Doubs, Heath and Melton. Still have Dubose lurking on the PS. Toure will need to get stronger in the offseason. Expect he'll be put on the PS this week with Melton being elevated to the 53. Melton sure did a nice job filing in for Wicks. Dude saved our season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
