Old Guy Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 43 minutes ago, Mazrimiv said: Are Heath or DuBose going to show up on special teams? I honestly don't know, but I would think they would need to if they are going to stick on the 53. I'm not seeing much value in keeping a WR only type on the roster as WR6. I'd be a little shocked to see 3 QB's on the 53. I think Heath was on a few specials teams and was pretty good. Not sure about Dubois because he was never active. I wonder how or if the new kick-off rule will change the makeup of guys on those teams. Will there be more big guys since they don't have to run as far? Just spit balling. I was never a fan of the idea of having two youngish (Clifford is 26) backup quarterbacks on the roster. Especially since I wouldn't trust either of them to be able to do a decent job if we needed them for a game or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as I posted, that right there is why the "neglect" of the WR room is a deep issue. Complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking aside, Heath has been nothing but a dog and definitely contributed on ST last year. DuBose might be better, but he’s going to have a lot to prove to be WR6 who has to do more that just line up at WR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Playing Love without Tom against the Browns is a choice... Hopefully it's a few handoffs and 10 is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping we can put Dubose on PS, somehow. And I really hope that we can find a way to carry 6 WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see GB's "neglect" of the WR room the same way I see KC's "neglect" - they aren't throwing big-ticket resources at the issues, but they are addressing it. GB - post Tae, they drafted Montgomery 95th overall, in 2018 they had the Moore/MVS/ESB draft (along with unearthing Lazard, who if not a gem was at least a nice mineral), in 19 and 20 they grabbed Sternberger and Deguara in the 3rd,* 2021 Amari Rodgers 85th overall...again, only maybe 2 of those guys could be described as "hits" but they were putting forth relatively valuable resources to solve the issue. They just weren't having any luck. Same with KC...in reverse order from Worthy this year, they grabbed Rice last year, Skyy Moore the year before, along with acquiring Toney, Juju, and MVS (all on the cheap, but also the later two are veterans who'd had some success, Juju more than MVS). It isn't that they aren't addressing their WR issues, they just aren't having any luck. * TEs are not WRs, but if you find a Kelce or Gronk...

By your own accounting, the FA's, trades, day 1 and day 2 picks invested look like this GB: RD3 (94), RD3 (75), RD3 (94), RD3 (85) KC: RD1 (28), RD2 (55), RD2 (54), traded RD3(100), UFA at 2Y/18M, UFA at 1Y/10M I am just not seeing these as similar at all.

They're the same guy It's going to be a crap shoot either way. Anders may or may not find his happy place, while Joseph was 7-13 on kicks over 40 yards last season. Nothing to do at this point but hope for the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are things they can do to make sure Love is protected while still running the offense. Short passes, blocking help from TE or RB etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some "upside" gute can talk himself into. Think Joseph would've had to win this thing walking away. Tie goes to anders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Apparently, there was some wind today, and our kickers did not like it one little bit. Quote The two kickers had, together, posted a 71 of 82 (87 percent) mark on field goals throughout camp. Today, they went just 8 of 14 (57 percent), missing two of three kicks each in the second field goal period and then missing on the final kicks of practice. Joseph was short on his last attempt while Carlson hit the upright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHARMON9 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Go with Carlson. As a fellow FAU alumni please don't allow Greg Joseph to kick for our Packers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
