  • Besides the OL, what is our biggest problem?

    I'm curious to what you all think is the biggest problem besides the OL. It's clear that that is without a doubt the biggest problem.

    What positions do we urgently need an upgrade at to improve?

    What should be addressed in free agency/draft? What players are likely to be available to fill these roles and why would they be a good fit?

    We need the OL to come together and play as a unit more than replacing them. The kids are showing promise, but they're kids.

    We need another young corner or two because much as I love Chuck & Al, they won't be around forever. A little more depth at safety would be nice as well.

      We don't need kids that show promise; we need lineman that can play now

      Bigby is a hitter but not an all around safety.

      More pass rushers would be nice

      And I'd still take Michael Crabtree to replace Raji any day of the week

        OL is certainly the obvious - 6 more sacks today, we're lucky Rodgers ended the game on his feet. Although with the injury report, it sounds like he barely did.

        RB and LB. RB is questionable, with an OL improvement, I'm guessing our RB's look better pretty quickly.

        But LB seems a bigger problem, specifically OLB. This is supposed to be a pressure defense, able to get to the QB. That didn't happen today, no sacks.

          How do Barbre and Lang get to that point if they don't play?

            If they are not ready now they learn behind a seasoned veteran who can play now

            We've implemented the recipe for killing Aaron Rodgers and at this point it's one nasty hot sauce that could blow the season up at any time.

              Then who do you replace with who?

                Good Points

                Ideally a Top RB (I'd have no issue with them going with one in round one or trading for a guy like S Jackson) and an OLB with pressure skills would be added as well

                  IMO the o-line is not as bad as others suggest. MM needs to call better plays.

                  Pass rushers and a scat back would be nice.

                    How do you think they are going to learn by sitting? You gotta pay your dues, unless you plan on drafting or acquiring "sure things." Delay the inevitable.

                    Are there seasoned vets out there that are better that are clamoring to play for the pack.

                      Hasta La Vista to Breno and Deitrich Smith for starters. You can find those guys on the last round of cuts every year. Unfortunately it can't occur til the offseason and since we have TT it probably will not occur anyways. Let's just hope the kids become men before AROD breaks in half.

                        Ok, get rid of both of them. Who are your backups now?

                          AROD learned by sitting....different postition but you can develop through practice.

                          No I think we're stuck with the kids this year; this is that offseason thing called Free Agency. We can only fill so many holes through the draft.
