Mims is being released by the Lions today and I think the Packers are probably good with where they are with WR's. Quote Andy Herman @AndyHermanNFL The Packers have 7 better wide receivers so don’t think GB or Mims would have much interest tbh. Agree with Andy.

Unfortunately, Pats are currently in secret meetings with him trying to poach our unmined diamonds. The true reason BB agreed to joint practices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refugee Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Good to hear a vote of confidence from Coach Rich and Gute in Carlson’s abilities. Both stressed being patient and have seen plenty of potential. Of course, that’s what you have to say in public but action, or lack of, by not bringing in competition means they are giving him his grace period. Things will change in September but he gets his shot to improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Any additional information about De'Vondre Campbell being in a walking boot because of a foot injury? I see where Gute said he'd be ready week 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking up his stats now, if you take the League average for kickers on field goals somewhere around 85%, Crosby only hit the League average or above that once in his first 6 seasons. His average in that span was 77%, with a high of 85.7% in 2011 and a low of 63.6% in 2012. Compare that to his last 5 seasons where his average was 86.5%, and twice over 90% in that span.

Get McDuffie, Carpenter, and Wilson more playing time in the preseason. Campbell is an 8 year vet, he doesn't really need the preseason.

(XP's were almost automatic then). His FG% was only 26th in the NFL. He was only 12-19 from 40+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His FG% was only 26th in the NFL. He was only 12-19 from 40+. He wasn’t lights out but he was solid in his moments. His very first game I distinctly remember where I was when he hit the game winner over the Eagles. I can cope with a kicker not being automatic from long. But mid range and PAT should never be a question. It messes up the play calling if you can’t trust a 42 yard kick to go in. Our new guy has the leg to kick it out of the stadium, we want to see his accuracy and performance under pressure. Next audition is tonight.

It's clearly being discussed inside the Jets organization. It is also clearly an area the Jets need to shore up. I doubt there have been conversations with the Packers about it though. There's really no reason for the Packers to even consider moving Bakhtiari. The Packers have a vested interest in making sure Jordan Love succeeds, and the Packers are better off with Bakh at LT than Tom at LT for the upcoming season.

I don't disagree with this and have said so. I do think General Manager Rodgers is going to put a ton of pressure on his assistant, Joe Douglass to make it happen. He gave up that cash and he's going to demand they get the guys he wants with his cash. Not say it is going to happen, but the Jets are going to be making that call if Bak is healthy.
