    You Make the Call: House or Barwin

    Assume you have money left for one more vet FA. Which direction do you go?
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Ted kinds sucks at drafting defense; Ted can draft OL. I don't care much about Lacy either way.

    Lang is one of my favorite players; but stacking our FA signings on defense the rest of the way might be wise

    i would say house. we already have a ton of money tied up at OLB, and i think we can get a good rotational guy in the draft

    CB HAS to get fixed, and like i have aid over and over, the draft isn't gonna give us the out of the gate talent we need a CB

    i don't even know if house is good enough if we are only allowed one more free agent

    Exactly why you take Barwin you dumb ass !!! lol....he's a much better player.

    Perry/Barwin/Matthews
    That is the start to a dominant defense.

    no, thats about the same as what our pass rush was this last year, on a defense that was about as far away from dominate as it gets

    and then you still have dud #1, dud #2, no more hyde, and then gunter trying to cover guys again.

    how is that any better?

    whats the point of a pass rush with randall playing 20 yards off the other teams #1 wr?

    Barwin is a threat as a pass rusher; and frankly he's a good all around player who rarely gets hurt. And he brings attitude to a soft defense. He's what you want. House is a #3 CB.

    peppers was a better threat as a pass rushed and a better all around player

    so again, how does signing barwin and lossing peppers and keeping everything else the same make the defense any better?

    we have to fix the main problem, the main problem is our secondary

    Ted feels Perry will get better, Barwin is definitely better than our #3 Pass rusher last year....whoever that is........and the three of them rushing together is a thread. This is a Captain Obvious pick.

    HW has the answer right though.

    These are Ted's kind of free agents; you don't have to give up a draft pick for them.

    red has been drinking just the right amount to get the answer correct. Need CB help more than pass rush.

    Both? Sure. But that ain't the question in the poll.

    Because the draft is so rich at CB, I'd go with Barwin. His numbers were down last year, but having to switch from 3-4 OLB to 4-3 DE might have been the reason.

    Actually I think TT might have the cap room to sign both.

    Peppers was playing less than half of snap counts until injuries to Matthews and Peppers forced him to play more. Barwin can play full time which gives Packers the flexibility to move Matthews around. Barwin would be an upgrade.
