I have always thought that the lack of free agency activity made the job harder for sports writers- far fewer stories to write about. Gute is going to be extra busy in free agency this offseason. He's going to want to give the new head coach as much ammo to work with as he can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and there's a reasonably generous cushion AND needs - no more CM3 at $10 mil, but that also means that GB needs one or more edge rushers. Cobb leaving hurts WR depth. Etc.

We have gotten so used to spending early draft capital on defense I don’t even know how to dream about multiple early picks on the other side of the ball. What would that look like? Tackle, TE, WR?

Lets hope Goff and Co can get him another ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad Sam found his way there. Disappointing to hear the lack of up to date treatment approach from GB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 For those saying "we're good" at ILB. This is almost hard to do and even harder to believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 From Rob Demovsky: The Packers used 32 defensive players in 2018, 2 more than in any season since ‘13 & 8 more than in ‘14. Injuries hit even harder on special teams, where they used 63 different players – 5 more than in ‘17 and 10 more than in ‘16. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Am I the only one that really likes Martinez? When he can run free, man, he knocks guys backwards. He seems very instinctive, too. I wish we could have seen him with Daniels and Mo in front of him more. I think the key to that ILB position is two fold...find another one to pair with Martinez and keeping those DL fresh and healthy in front of him. Okay, as I typed that, is a "duh" post...but....do others like Martinez or is he "meh"? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
