McGinn..."Packers Too Soft for NFL Elite"

[Pugger]

Make a decision in Pickett and Raji. For Pickett, will he be an effective full time guy and for Raji, will he go full time at nose?

Then reinforce D line again. Need more ILBs. Need a physically talented safety. Maybe clone Collins.

Solve two of those issues and defense returns to 2010 level when a suspect ILB corp fared just fine except for pass coverage against TEs. We now know Brad Jones can do that job.

Offense? Sherrod is the solution to Newhouse and insurance against Bulaga if Sherry heals and Bulaga continues to fall apart. To be honest, Newhouse in the running game is better than Clifton but he is just shaky enough, and shuts down too early in the play, for me to be completely comfortable. There are a candidates at RT. Don't forget Datko at LT.

Was Datko the guy who looked a mess at RT but immediately got two draft rounds better when moved to the left? I think that was the case.

If James Starks can lead a team in rushing during a Super Bowl drive, Alex Green and Harris will be fine, though one needs to learn how to pass block and chip.

Need athletic TE to replace Quarless if he isn't healthy. Otherwise, this is OK. Need to challenge EDS in some way. But he seemed to settle right in at the end of the season.

Unfortunately Starks cannot stay healthy.

Boy what a loss JJ IS TURNING OUT TO BE.

Jolly is a loser.

Jolly is a loser.

Maybe but the Packers need him.

U see who Harbaugh was poking in the chest saying, "you won that game?"

Pollard, a safety, the most physical player on the field today. He was fucking guys up. Toughness is not always 300 lb guys. Sometimes it's the guy who concusses RB's off the field while causing fumbles, lights up Welker to the point where he's dropping easy balls and puts the fear of god in every player who goes over the middle of the field.

We need a killer in the back of our defense. We have shit. The guys who cause concussions and body sickening hits are the mean guys (who are also fast enough to kill) We just don't have it.

[RashanGary]

And the NFL isn't getting any easier. Flacco and Ryan are pocket passers in the prime of their careers and have excellent teams. There is a huge infusion of young, talented QB's in the NFC with Luck in the AFC (far more athletic than I think people realize). We had better get fast and mean at the same time or we'll be getting run all over the field wondering why we can't get over the hump.

[RashanGary]

Riddley was stumbling off walls on his way to the lockerroom. Had he somehow been able to play in some prehistoric NFL era, it would have affected him the rest of the game. That hit might affect how Riddley plays the rest of his career.

It's like Greg Williams said, "affect the head."

You hate to say it, it sounds so brutal, but the two most brutal teams are in the SB right now. Big guys up front, sure, but they have killers too.

Eddie Vaccaro of Texas and Eric Reid of LSU look like the 2 best Safeties in the draft. Not sure if they'll be around at 26 though. Probably a better chance that Ogletree will be available. Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama is a name of heard mentioned. Of course, the real guessing doesn't begin until after the Combine.

By the end of the game, Welker looked like a boxer who had taken one too many punches.

McGinn's a fucking troll.

PHYSICAL PLAYERS:

Bryan Bulaga
Derrek Sherrod
Desmond Bishop
DJ Smith
Nick Perry
Jerel Worthy
Cedric Benson
Andrew Quarless

I know those guys aren't all starters, but they're important pieces for our team. The 49ers lost 2 important pieces for their team: Manningham and some tight end.

Strip the 49ers of 7 of their big, physical players and see how they play against us in that game.

We need to bring the human heat-seeking missile back as DB coach:

Chuck still owns. I love his liberal use of birds in the defense of the air game.

In these playoffs the 49ers were one of the healthier teams while we were the least. Losing players like this is a killer. In last night's game NE had players dropping like flies. It is even more amazing that we won it all 2 years ago with basically a MASH unit out there.

[RashanGary]

Bishop is the only player on that list that's going to bring toughness and impact tackling to our defense.

Two years ago it was Collins and Bishop. I have the SB DVD. We injured a lot of players that year. It was mostly Collins and Matthews.



Bishop is a start for us. Another ILB who takes heads off or a safety and we're back to 2010 form.

The Packers had someone like that. His name was Atari Bigby.

[smuggler]

I'm pretty sure I saw Perry beat the living shit out of Andrew Luck earlier in the season.
