He also had extra 30yards to get to that speed.
Watson just runs out of field. That’s really how is looks when he runs, like he is barely getting in gear and has to shift down in the end zone.

It is freaky how he doesn't look like he is flying, but no one is catching him either.Originally Posted by MadtownPacker

Delicious!

^ Good company, indeed.
So I'm starting to think that Gutes was actually in charge already during the last couple TT drafts. I had pointed out a shift from drafting ball players and improving their athleticism in the weight room vs. drafting athletes and hoping to turn them into ball players. In hindsight, TT was fading hard and Gutes "turned down" the offer to GM SF. Was he already the de facto GM?
Gary worked out because Mike Smith is the best OLB coach in existence. He turned 3rd rounders into 15 sack guys his entire career. He's gone now. Will Van Ness unlock his potential behind whoever the guy is now? Coaching matters, thats all I'm saying.
Walker actually hasn't been so bad. I honestly do think its the soft scheme we choose to run on D for oh, say 15 years now. MiLF went off in a presser about his 2-4 D saying his OLBs are DL in that scenario because a RB can't block Preston. True, but Preston is lined up on the edge. There are only 2 interior DL and they get double teamed and Najee walks in from the 4. No one HAD to block a guy lining up at the 7. He can't get inside fast enough. We line guys up 10 yards deep on 3rd and 7. If I'm wrong, then its totally on Gutes for drafting guys that are not succeeding on the field. In any event someone has to be accountable.

Why on earth did they let that guy out the door? How foolish. I just feel like they gave up on their DC way too fast. He was a good coach. The results have been worse. What did they really accomplish?
I'm guessing only. Didn't he leave when we hired Barry? Did he want that job and felt slighted?

Are you saying we should have kept Pettine as DC?
Mike Smith is tied to the hip with Pettine; he'll go where Pettine goes. They go all the way back to Rex Ryan. I think Smith even played for them.
Smith is a good coach. Rebrovich seems...ok. LVN declared early for the draft, he's got a lot to learn yet.
As for Watson, I wonder if his hamstring is n't 100% and that's why they are using him they way they are. Gotta get him the ball in stride or in space and let him run.
Love has not hit many receivers in stride this year.
He didn't come to GB with Pettine, he joined when MiLF arrived.

True, but I suspect at the urging of Pettine. "Hey, I know a guy".

Was Pettine with KC when Smith was churning out those OLBs that had all the sacks there?

The Mailman owes moi an apology. It’s only humbling if he does so in a thread in which he posted two Watson apology forms.

I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel.
Am Iin the right place? The Christian Watson thread?
I strongly wanted them to draft Watson. I was glad when they did. And I'm NOT negative about him like some in here now. The guy has the potential to be great, and I think he will live up to that potential.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
Great game by Watson. Going up and fighting for the ball, being aggressive and decisive on routes! Excellent footwork to get both feet in on the sideline catch. Hopefulyl the start of next year is not hamstring issues again. They could be the reason he started so slow each of the last two years.
Just in general, I think being in and out of the lineup, in and out of practice has slowed his development.

He's starting to move past "MVS 2.0" status.
He's not a WR1 though. Not yet.
I think getting him started early and also balancing the out the targets on offense isn't a terrible strategy for his confidence, which should be back now after the last few games. His hamstring looked like it was better also, earlier in the season he didn't look as fast as he does now.
At worst, he's an overdraft. He's not a bust and I don't understand why Packer fans were hating on him. The WR group would have benefitted from a vet in the room for sure, but it would have cost them developmental snaps which are starting to pay off.
