Slinky Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Jordan Matthews wore #87 in BUF and at Vanderbilt. Imagine the outrage if he wore #87 here. Too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s intriguing, and if Matthews is healthy, he’s got the size and strength to play outside also, IMO. I just worry about the mug’s durability. 3 surgeries in one year is nothing to take lightly, and I’m sure it’s why he’s still out there to some degree. There’s a “right” price to bring him aboard - I just don’t know what that price is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gopackgonerd Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Don't think I would really care if he got 87. I don't remember the number, I remember the player. Jordy will never be forgotten man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play well and all will be fine. Play poorly, and he will be a villain. Look at Nick Collins with #36. 6 minutes ago, NormSizedMidget said: Who wore 87 here?

Cadmus Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Through his first 3 seasons, 89% of Matthews' 2,673 career yards came from the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year if he signs here 70% will come from the boundary. Bookmark me. It's a lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 oh yeah? I just made up heard that they were going to play Mathews at FB to replace Rip, and he will line up exclusively in the backfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of when we drafted Randall and I said he would play CB because that's what was reported and there was this one secret super scout who guaranteed he couldn't and wouldn't and everyone else pretty much said the same. I took a ton of hell ripping that dude. He deserved it all though. He was such a stick up his *** elitist about it. Also, sounds like something Mac learned from Madden. That **** used to wreck.

FinneasGage Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 jordan matthews was in every mock like 4 years ago or whatever. im all for it. would rather have hurns, but matthews probably a cheaper add. like taking pressure off prior to the draft so they can 100% just do what they want. i mean they can do whatever they want anyway, but you see what im getting.

craig Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Who else do we have for slot besides Cobb? Davis? Don't know how good Matthews might be. But champions sometimes get lucky with guys. Maybe that could be a formerly injured guy who comes back healthy proves to be a bargain. Packers are just so very, very weak at receiver, anybody they like and sign, I'll be optimistic. Existing personnel are just so shaky, anybody half-decent has an opportunity to earn a lot of snaps. And probably with a lot of snaps in Packer offense, a guy might be able to put up numbers. I think that opportunity to gt snaps easily and top up numbers might appeal to some FA's. It's fact that Matthews mostly played slot. Usage sometimes depends on roster, though. May be that had he been on a roster starting Geronimo Allison wide and Cobb at slot, perhaps he'd have been used somewhat less inside and somewhat more outside? May not take a perfect outside guy to win some snaps from Geronimo Allison and Davis, since they may not be perfect either.....? Other slot thing is that maybe MM, Gute, and Philbin are very dumb. But perhaps they aren't all that dumb, and perhaps they are aware that Matthews played slot a lot. If they are still interested, or *IF* hypothetically they were to sign him, it's possible that they might intelligently see ways Matthews might be useful even on a roster with Cobb? Not sure I understand it, but they might be smarter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
