Think he probably means working out players who have actually played in the NFL before, like Reyes for example. If you were ever on an NFL roster before, good luck getting a workout in Green Bay under Ted. It didn't happen much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this proves how much things can twist when you want to view things a certain way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he worked out Dez Bryant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't don't have my ego so heavily dependent on a team that I turn my *hopes* for the team into *expectations* for the team, and then look for scapegoats to enact my retribution on if their success doesn't live up to my hopes. The egotists often subconsciously feel guilt over this and so they foist irrational or bad motives (laziness/stubbornness) onto the scapegoat to justify to themselves their dislike of said scapegoat. The whole thing just becomes an exercise in confirmation bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact of the matter is that most 'name' players in these situations have legitimate reasons they remained unsigned by a league full of teams. And it's not like the unrecognized UDFA-type guys never work out. Need look no further than TWill, Allison, Taylor, McCray. Not to mention past guys like Shields & Bishop.

Norm Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 This isn't a gute is better than Ted thing. I'm thouroughly convinced gute will be better. But all the other guys started with that assumption and try to confirm it and it bothers me. That's my nature. Until your study psychology...

Packerraymond Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/24874200/jordan-phillips-released-miami-dolphins Really liked Phillips as a run plug in the 2015 draft. I believe his college coach would have been our current DL coach. If he's a fan I wouldn't be shocked if we put in a claim, we've been working out DL since Wilks injury and Phillips can be a useful run plug IMO.

I know he got taken off a lot of boards for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently he blew up at the Dolphins sideline during the Pats blowout. Seems like playing for the Dolphins eventually leads to you losing it at some point. Looks he's played in 48 of 52 career games so not too bad injury wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just reading that, hard not to be pissed at your coaches when that talentless group is making you look bad. Especially when you're the run plug and you can't get in the game when the team is getting gashed on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
