    Yeah, Aaron Rouse. Had all the tools, physically. I think he made one incredible interception and return during one game, maybe a preseason game. But he just weren't a player.

    I remember that. It was in the red zone against Peyton Manning.

    That was a huge gaffe by Manning, or maybe a no-give-a-shit gift in a game that was already out of hand.

    Fackrell showed something last year. He seemed to disappear late in the season but before that he was getting pressure.

    Yes he was. Like a real Packer, he then had a hamstring injury. I think his inability to keep weight on was a factor too.

    Really stiff hips. Looked great running straight ahead. Changing direction was a real issue.

    Rouse looked great, but he was nuts in addition to being a stiff. He started for us vs the Bengals and played SO poorly, they cut him on Tuesday.

    It's been too long since pick 6s were common for the Packers. When was the last one? 2-3-4 years ago?
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    Randall and Rollins each had one in 2015.
