As I said, Ryan's contract is up after this year Ryan will only be worth 3-4m per and if he keeps playing the run like he has, is worth that IMO. He probably resigns.

This is basically the position he'll be playing. Box "Safety", TE RB cover guy. He shouldn't be taking on G's every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 SMH, when they announced Burks on the NFL channel, they literally had no comment. Maybe Mayock was taking a leak? Not a single comment by anyone about him. Glad to hear others are praising him. I’m ok with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m wondering how the draftniks grade GB thus far. I’d give em a B, if only because they haven’t addressed other needs and not because of the talent they’ve picked.

Not sure Shazier is a great example as he was never able to stand up to the punishment that ILB presented. Not only is his NFL career likely over but he missed a substantial amount of time in every NFL season he played in because his body was incapable of withstanding the punishment required from his position. Again, the game has changed. Teams are looking for playmakers on the defensive side of the ball with speed and athleticism. You seem to be more at adds with the defensive philosophy of Mike Pettine, moreso than the personnel decisions. Honestly, what we have in Green Bay right now is probably one of the better pass rush personnel packages that Mike Pettine has had as a DC. Certainly better than what he had with the Jets. The collection of pass rushers when he was with the Jets wasn't very impressive. He didn't have a 10+ sack guy his entire tenure in New York. That's just the way his system works. Pettine can manufacture a pass rush. His system is all about disguising the pressure, not necessarily just relying on a couple guys or bookends to consistently bring the heat. I actually think that there is more talent on the defensive side of the ball than on offense. Dom Capers just wasn't getting the most of out it. He hung around way too long. The writing was on the wall after the 2012 playoffs that the guy could not game plan against a team or make adjustments. We've invested a ton of draft capital into the defensive side of the ball to the detriment of the offense. We actually have one of the slowest offenses in the NFL. The best pass rushers Pettine had in New York were Calvin Pace and Shaun Ellis at the end of his career until they drafted Wilkerson who is now on our defense.

davekenya Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Box safety; covering TE and RBs would be a great niche for him to fill. We get burned by TEs running away from our plodding LBs in the middle of the field. He's got the speed and height to match up well with TEs. He's smart. He's raw. I think they are fairly confident they can 'coach him up' so he can contribute in some way. For a smart guy, his instincts apparently aren't all that great; hopefully, they'll improve with more reps.

He'll most likely be a much bigger ST contributor next year than defender. Its great to have an upgrade for Joe Thomas but Thomas played in only 10% of defensive snaps last year. I wouldn't dislike the pick so much if we weren't completely ignoring positions like Edge and WR. Nothing like going into a season needing huge seasons from guys like Kyler Fackrell and Gerinimo Allison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably resigns. If he resigns, it would be because he remains a integral component on special teams. I’m not giving a second contract to a JAG, unless he really stands out in some regard. His role may be one of the easiest positions to draft due to the abundance of the body type relatively speaking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 If Burks ran the 40 a 10th of a second faster, he goes top 50, easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopackgonerd Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 My thoughts so far watching his Bama/Tennessee tape. Im not too impressed with him albeit I only watched 2 games. He seems like a safety who isn't a great tackler playing ILB. His highlights look better but overall I'm not feeling him so far. His athletic traits and combine is really impressive. Hopefully he'll turn into a better tackler putting on a few pounds. Feel like we have a guy in Josh Jones can play the role he's gonna play but I guess they are really set on him playing SS.
