mikebpackfan Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I have this same recollection but am also too lazy to look it up. It was a bit of a ****show as I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 Peter Bukowski - Preston Smith had more pressures and a higher pressure rate than Robert Quinn last year, but HALF the sacks. I didn't realize Quinn's pressure numbers were so low. He converted sacks at an incredibly high rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had the idea that we could drink the orange kool-aid, but those are Bears colors. We only drink lime or lemon flavor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember apple kool-aid when I was a kid. I did try some green apple a couple of years ago. I determined that I don't remember how to make kool-aid properly. It tasted like I just dissolved sugar in water. That wasn't bad, but it wasn't apple either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brat&Beer Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 PFF highlights Sammy Watkins as 1 of 7 WR's headed for a bigger role in 2022. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-wide-receivers-bigger-roles-2022-gabriel-davis-sammy-watkins Quote SAMMY WATKINS, GREEN BAY PACKERS Unprompted, Bert Whigham — Gabriel Davis' trainer quoted above — talked up Watkins, who’s also working out in Orlando with Davis. The Packers’ wide receiver room is wide open between Watkins, Allen Lazard, Randall Cobb, second-round pick Christian Watson, fourth-round pick Romeo Doubs, seventh-round pick Samori Toure, 2021 third-round pick Amari Rodgers and others. Watkins played only 457 snaps last season and caught 27 passes for 394 yards with a touchdown in 2021. He didn’t catch a pass after Week 13. “That guy is going to be good for the Packers. He started working with us like seven weeks ago, and he said he wanted to be ‘college Sammy.’ Sammy is going to have a big year. He told me, ‘I want to be Clemson Sammy Watkins.’ And I was like, ‘OK, let’s do it.’ He’s just up there squatting 405 for eight right now like it’s nothing. He started around 218, and he’s at 225 right now, too. He’s going to go be a No. 1 in Green Bay. “Sammy’s going to kill it. I have no doubt. He hasn’t trained like this since college. He’ll say that. ‘I haven’t worked like this since college.’ We’re spending two-and-a-half, three hours on the field in this heat every day. And that sounds crazy, but that’s what your body has to go through so when you get to camp, it’s easy. And that’s been the knock on him. He gets hurt. Well, he hasn’t pushed his body in the offseason, and he’ll admit that.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 That is an interesting article. Pretty much says Sammy hasn't trained in the off-season the past how many years and that has hurt him. So, he's training hard now and bulking up to have better production and availability. Could be a puff piece, but we shall see. Certainly an interesting read. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat&Beer Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 My only concern would be that he could be bulking up too much. If he's at 225, that's 14 pounds heavier than his combine weight. Hope he's not sacrificing flexibility and speed for strength. Still, he's working with a trainer, so that's likely a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
