Retooling the roster?

[Fritz]

I think people here were pretty pumped when they signed Cook, and he did show a couple meager flashes before he got hurt. If he can come back and play at the speed at which he's capable, he can add a badly missing dimension to this offense. Imagine Montgomery coming out of the backfield and Cook going over the middle. Tough to cover that.

Anyone hear anything on Corey Linsley?

Can he play CB or run the ball?

That is Tretter's job.

were we pumped for cook or were we pumped cuz tt actually did something more in fa than just hole plugging? lol
no...i agree we all liked cook's speed but i think there were better TEs out there. i posted at the time i thought Jordy wouldn't be 100%, that what we had left at wr wouldn't be adequate, and that a go-to wr should be a priority.

there's always next year.

I think the great hope was that Rodgers and Cook were going to complete each other. Cook has thus far had a disappointing career given his physical talent. Maybe an elite QB could fulfill his potential. Rodgers might return to elite status if he had a threat down the middle of the field.

So far, that football love connection hasn't blossomed. We'll see.

I place blame at Ted and Mikes feat. Rather than shore up two gaping holes - we've done 'next man up' and practice squad.

And M3's play calling is essentially the same week over week. Much less making any in game adjustments.

I haven't been for cleaning house - but I think we are there. It's time for Wolf...

There's really nothing out there at RB or CB to pick up. We tried Davis, looked at Spiller, looked at Bell. Their JAGs aren't better than our JAGs. This is similar to losing Collins at safety, except safety isn't as important as CB. We struggled mightily on defense for a couple of years after his loss. Losing a pro bowl type CB and a pro bowl type RB will cause ripples throughout the team. Heck, losing Nelson last year caused defenses to play us differently starting game 7 of last year and we still haven't completely recovered since Nelson doesn't have that last gear yet.

I blame McCarthy for not fixing our offense, but even there, it's difficult with all the injuries. We look slightly better on offense the last few games, but that might be the defenses we're playing and the deficit that we have when the offense starts looking better. My feeling is that this is a lost season. .500 might be a goal to shoot for. If we get there, it might be the best coaching job of his career.

I can't agree 8-8 would be the best coaching job of his career. He had more injuries the year they won the Super Bowl. That is the epitome of his coaching, and he hasn't come close since. Too many factors out there to determine which one has killed this team. NFCCG loss to the Seahawks? Olivia? Giving away play calling? Aaron's collarbone and psyche? We could probably add to the list. Something is wrong and Mike isn't getting the job done.

More injuries in 2010, maybe. Maybe. But they still had Collins, Matthews, Woodson, Rodgers, Jennings, and Raji healthy.
