Random Packer News & Notes

[Norm]

Addison and Jefferson was part of this discussion I think....

So maybe that

 

I guess Jefferson Ras was fine. IDK why I thought it wasn't

Myers should be a plus run blocker at C, and he is when he gets engaged, too many whiffs though. Jenkins is also a plus run blocker when healthy. Runyan is definitely a pass pro over run block guy and Bakh is too (although Bakh is a league average run blocker). 

Roster construction is fine, Myers and Jenkins need to play better, and Nijman needs to play LT.

Right Nijman played his best at LT. I’d move Tom to center to be better up the middle but then what do you do at RT… Jones? Walker?  What difference does it make now. I’d go with Jones or Ealker at RT, mix in Rhyan at RG on occasion and see what we have.

Average at best. Is he better at OC than what Walker or Jones would be at RT though?

Myers probably gets less hate than he deserves TBH

Stokes to IR. What a triumphant return.

This is why I gave up on him @Packerraymond

The last page or so is exactly what I mean on Myers, more hate than deserved. PFF grades him too harshly and so everyone thinks he's miserable. He's just OK, but he's the 3rd best player on our OL sadly.

I think he and Runyon need to be replaced in 24.  Tom and Jenkins are the only two I want to see starting next year.

I mean then Watson, Savage, Alexander, Campbell, Jones, Doubs, all need to be given up on too. 

I'm usually one of the last guys to just post the "fire the training staff!!!" but this year they deserve a lot of grief with the setback that we've had from guys coming back from injury.

Was Stokes pushed back with Jaire being out? Jaire out bumps CB up a notch and a replacement gunner in Stokes

I'm losing a lot of excitement for Watson. Both because of his availability and his inability to make contested catches. 

I gave up on Savage, too. He's a nothingburger.

I think Jaire is overrated, but I think he's been more available than Stokes and is of course better too.

Campbell? Weird one. He's typically very available and good. Ditto on Jones and Doubs

I'd include Bakh in there if they ACTUALLY figured it out this time. But otherwise in full agreement.

I'd move on from Bak .. he was already having issues and now he will have another major surgery on that knee.  Nah .. not going to fall for it again.

I would be interested in seeing JRJ at center and Rhyan at RG

Campbell missed 4 with a soft tissue last year, this year it was ankle, then re-aggrevation of the ankle.

Doubs missed last year with a soft tissue, had the same injury this year, just got lucky that the 4 weeks happened on preseason/week 1.

Jones has had hammys a bunch in his career. Hasn't been able to play or have a normal workload since week 1.

If anything Stokes is the odd one to include in here, he broke his foot, this is the first soft tissue I can remember with him.

Thanks Guter, you got the safest job in sports after Lance Stroll.

 

I'll forever laugh if anyone utters the phrase all-in related to this team with a straight face regarding the late Rodgers window. I don't want this cotton headed-nittymuggin fat faced midge-widgeon steering any part of whatever Packers future comes of this.

But he will, and it will be a decade of nothing, since his succession plan to Rodgers was somehow a half decade + of evaluation, meanwhile those with skin to lose get on with their jobs of making their team better today, and every day... Make a mistake? Fine, fix it... Or don't like Gute, cuz why would you if you were him.
