Yes but didn’t recents Amos, Jimmy G, Z, Preston, etc who had options kind of put that to bed that free agents aren’t interested in GB? Of course there are some that would prefer other places (Odell etc)but GB certainly suits some too. Not every football player is from a big city/warm weather area etc. TT just never went after them really so it was hard for free agents to even end up in GB.

But it still exists to some level I'm sure. Seems TT always had a hard number, that was probably not that generous, and wouldn't negotiate much. That was always the talk. Gute maybe bends more? Probably a better recruiter, think he's had more open cash. Hopefully guys who come out and talk about loving being here, can be a benefit going forward though. That would sure be nice.

Norm Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I was googling around and it looks like David Moore only returned 22 punts in the NFL, and looks like maybe a handful in college. That kind of surprised me after today, he didn't explode but he looked comfortable at least. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll take comfortable and sure-handed at this point, lol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was kind of my crappy point, I'm not trying to be a downer, he looks good. But it's not like he's this long tenured vet with tons of experience doing it. I would have guessed he had more based on what I saw today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you, I thought he had more experience also. Maybe fielding punts just comes more naturally to some. I’m also going to temper my enthusiasm a bit - it’s only been one game, lol. Off to a good start though for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should show a bit more n carpet next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of OBJ.....he took a lot of **** for not selecting GB.....but he actually lives in LA and they're the #2 seed now...so he didnt fare badly IMO.

Rainmaker90 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 I think Cobb is such an underrated return ( didn’t think I would have said that at the beginning of the year ). 3rd down, outside of Davante, I trust Cobb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true - lots of stories of "Green Bay? Ugh" followed by someone either settling here or at least speaking fondly about their time here (Woodson, for one).

Green Bay is a bit less than most major league cities, but I've always thought that "everyone wants to be in LA or Miami" nonsense to be a bit overrated....some players want that but also does a team REALLY want a guy whose priority appears to be going somewhere that they can pay $500 per bottle to drink Cristal in the VIP section until 4 am?

They've been playing uneven for awhile, but OBJ's settling in and filling the Robert Wood void. Rather than folding, they've won 5 in a row and are the #2 seed. If we see them down the road, the difference from the last time will be their getting the backfield in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
