Poor athlete, but good attitude it appears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheech Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Pipkins was kept over Gunter, and I'm starting to see why. A little more short area burst but he looks just as strong as Gunter. Maybe he can play in the slot with Randall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaitWhat Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Bengals signed Lewis to a two year extension so no worries about him coming here to be the new DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think we can cross Rollins off the list of 2018 contributors - early season for sure - so a confident - not on my watch kinda guy would be a nice addition.

cannondale Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 So the interviewing and hiring of a defensive coordinator is entirely on MM ? Why haven't we heard any rumblings yet ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When someones sister's cousin sees a plane land at Austin Straubel from Chicago and a car goes to 1265 Duh !! Just yesterday I thought I saw MM at the airport holding a sign that said FANGIO except that I didn't. Turned out to be a random fat guy with a bag of FRITOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like there are a 100 different ways a leak can happen when bringing in guys for interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what I read about the firm they hired, I don't think they've interviewed anyone. It's been one day officially. There's a bit of time to take a breath and look closely before you run people in I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats all on MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodjahs12 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Janoris Jenkins has had some rumors around him lately about being cut or traded. I wouldn't want to give up a high pick but if New York was willing to part with him for a 4th or so I'd gladly eat his salary for a season or 2.

squire12 Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 Interesting reading on how the turnovers for the GB defense really dropped off in the last several years. Not just related to the decline in talent in the secondary, but overall the number of INT's per game league wide are down from 5-7 years ago. https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/by-the-numbers/2017/11/2/16593328/dom-capers-packers-defense-interceptions-numbers-offensive-trend-conservative-short-passes NFL INTs per game Year INTs Picks/Game 2007 534 2.09 2008 465 1.82 2009 522 2.04 2010 511 2.00 2011 506 1.98 2012 468 1.83 2013 502 1.96 2014 450 1.76 2015 436 1.70 2016 415 1.62 2017 202 1.70 *** 2017 is thru 7 games per article Interesting to see if there is any change in defensive philosophy with a new DC....less reliant on the turnover as more QB's are getting better at protecting the football league wide.
