CUT THROAT CONTACTS.....COULD 4 of 6 REALLY BE GONE NEXT YEAR ?

[rbaloha1]

It would be great, but I think the chances are lessened by his good season. He might not be willing to reduce the cap number unless he gets an extension and some more upfront.

Agree with Hawk -- FINALLY playing like a top 5 pick by making plays and throwing body around. IMO Hawk is a team guy and would be willing to take a Jordy Nelson home team discount.

Finley is also performing well and deserves to be on the team next year.

IMO the defense is better with Woodson due to the blitzing and being a factor in the run game. Unless CW is willing to accept a Driver type contract expect CW to be released.

He has had some of his best games in the Eagle Okie package, which has made a resurgence in the second half of the season. It features Pick on the nose (1 tech), Raji at 3 tech (DT) and Neal/Wilson at a 5 tech. In that defense (which resembles a 4-3 Under front I believe) his job is to 1 gap penetrate and he has been very good in that role.

It's tough to equate a 30 front with 40 front terminology. A 4-3 under would have both DT's in a 3 tech. With Pickett on the nose, that would be a zero technique and the equivelant of a 4-3 over.

With Wilson back and Neal resurgent, I like out DLine's chances at performing well.

This is making my head hurt

He has not. Medical staff found something else in his X-Ray.

Maybe they found his car keys

I agree about terminology. The point that was made about the Eagle alignment's particulars that I was referring to was essentially that there was a body in the same spot as a common 4-3 front.

Are you sure about 4-3 over featuring someone at 0 tech? Is that guy shaded to one shoulder or another? And is this the same front Fritz Shurmur ran with Gilbert?

Because if it is, then I should have put Pick at 0 like Gilbert, Raji at 3 like Santana, Wilson/Neal/Worthy at 5 like White/Jones and Matthews at 9 (I think) like Jones/White.

Not funny. I saw the other week that 9,000+ objets were left in patient bodies after surgery. I would hope my surgeons would put an iPhone in there.

[Pugger]

I thought Finley had a nice game. I hope we resign Jennings. He had a good game too. Raji was all over the place. Too bad our tackling sucked. Thank god AP didn't get the freaking record.

Our offense is so dam good when Jennings is the number one option. If we don't re-sign him we are letting go of great talent.

Greg Jennings is more than a tremendous WR. He's a solid leader.

I hope that he and TT can come to terms. Many teams would love to have him.

Franchise GJ with the promise of a big future contract should he have a big year.

[MJZiggy]

Or just come to a fair deal with him. It seems to be how we manage to hang onto most of the talent on our team...

[woodbuck27]

We're not so rich at WR that we can just allow him to walk. I believe that even though GJ's may not look forward to it. He realizes very well that he may be franchised.

Yes your idea makes sense.

[digitaldean]

But TT has to walk that tightrope and make sure we have enough cap space to re-sign Matthews, Rodgers and Raji after next season.

[pbmax]

Its not going to happen or it already would have happened. Franchise tag will take up a huge amount of space, necessitating either (or both) delaying signing other players to contracts or giving Jennings a multi-year deal.

He's going to have to be replaced. Unless age and injury and stupidity (see James Jones offseason 2 years ago) leave him without much leverage.

[King Friday]

Jennings is in all likelihood gone. Enjoy him while you can. Thompson will pay Rodgers and Clay first...and there won't be enough money after that to pay Jennings in light of the other tremendous players we have at WR. We need help elsewhere...like tossing a boatload of cash at Raji, so AP doesn't run for 300+ in every game against us.

[King Friday]

Yep...there is no way in hell Jennings is franchised. That has no chance of happening.
