They are having a brief time in the sun with Tom Brady, but the Bucs for a majority of their existence are not an organization to have any jealousy towards. Corpse of AB was playing pretty well though. Problem is and has been upstairs with him. Jones is a limited snap guy at this point in his career, but he's WR 1/WR 2 when he's on the field for any team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Myers takes that natural year 2 step and I like Runyan a lot. More worried about OT given the current injuries. We're assuming Jenkins doesn't run into the issues Bak had last year and hoping Bak comes back from what seems like his 10th setback in the last 8 months. Bakh is almost literally the worst case scenario with modern knee repair. I dont think its too optimistic to assume Elgton will be back way ahead of that. If Bakh cant go at all this year, yeah things get a little on the ledge. Without looking into it too much i imagine theres still a few band aid tackles on the market. As long as Elgton goes we have a good line. Get David back at something near form and we have a great line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our roster is one of the best in his tenure, it's on him to get the job done. Not really worried about anyone else. Just a different philosophy of team building, right? We went young at WR. They are going the vet route. Even our vet (Watkins) is relatively young. I would have liked Julio, but not Julio AND Watkins. I'd rather we work on developing the kids with young and fast legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 17 hours ago, packfanfb said: Yea, I'm not there yet with this offense. On paper, it's easily the worst group of skill players I can remember as a fan and even our OL isn't as dominant as it was 3-4 years ago. Can it work? It's possible if LaFleur calls it right and 12 can execute it, but come playoff time when scheme can't do it alone and it's time to depend on your talent in key moments of games, this group really worries me. Skill players. QB, TE, WR, RB. Is it really the worst? We have two stud RB's. A proven TE coming off of injury. And while we are very inexperienced at WR, we do have some very good athletes there. We've been kindda bad at TE for a while, all the way back to Finley. No real change there. Maybe we are even slightly better than what we've historically been. QB, we are as good as we have ever been. RB. Much better than what we historically have been. WR. Much worse, but we do have good looking young athletes. I guess I kind of see us flip flopping from WR as a strength to RB being the strength. As stated, it is up to Rodgers and MLF to engaged those rookie WR's correctly with easier pitch and catches.

ThatJerkDave Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Julio to the Bucs seems like Randy Moss to the 49ers, to me. Whole lot of excitement for nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packerraymond Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 The Bucs gave Julio up to 8 mil lol. Good luck. Glad we passed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Field Yates - The 49ers have released DE Dee Ford. An unfortunate run of injuries impacted his tenure with the team. Jacob Westendorf - Massive if. But if he’s ever able to be healthy this is a veteran at a position Green Bay needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a handful of legitimate dart throws, good reason to think that at least one of them ends up being a bullseye. The odds of Lazard getting worse while Watkins, Watson, Doubs, Winfree, Rodgers, and Toure all collectively bomb seem pretty low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a pattern with the Packers that FA always say they were close to signing with us but in reality they use us as leverage to get a better deal from the team they really want to go to. Like Rodgers said GB is not a great vacation destination "if" they come here they come to play with me and a chance to win a championship.

St Vince Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Like Gute said yesterday they want to see what they have in house and if they see an upgrade there will be decent cap casualties WR vets on the mkt around cut down time they can pickup.

If Julio signs a contract similar to Watkins, I'd say we were nothing but leverage. Julio himself told TB media it was GB, TB and Indy and that he was talking to Brady, Rodgers and Ryan. He took the most money and nicest weather. No way we went to 8m for Julio, he's not wroth that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like our mix WR talent - think this guy Doubs is gonna be somebody we like - am glad the Davante Funnel is gone (will miss the talent but not the funnel) - and look forward to a more "system based" offense. Get the OL figured out.....and I think we'll be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
