Green Bay Packers' B. J. Raji not worried about (New) contract

[Patler]

Patler has a history if hearbreaking predictions that come true
He was also the first to predict a Packers loss against the Giants when the NYG came to Lambeau the first time and beat us in the playoffs and went on to win the SB

On a positive note, I also predicted at mid-season that the WI Badgers Mens and Womens Hockey teams would both win NCAA National Championships in 2006. It hasn't all been negative!!

Capers does exactly nothing to put him positions to make plays. That said, it wouldn't make sense to resign Raji unless they fire Capers.

The Eagle Oakie was the base 3-4 last year. Jolly at 1 tech, Raji at 3, Wilson at 5 or 7 (probably 7) and then Matthews and Walden at OLB and DE depending a O strength.

That's 4-3. Under front I believe with Raji at 3 tech. This defense still struggled with defending the run, though not as bad as 2011. Next idea please.

Substitute Perry for Walden, D. Jones for Wilson, and Jolly for Jolly, lol...

Yeah, I could live with that a lot easier than taking one of the DL off the field and putting Brad Jones in there.

Packer4life commented about Neal standing up in 2-4... I don't think he can play standing up, but I'd be willing to give it an audition. If not Neal, then put some effort into finding an athletic tweener and scheme to take advantage of that.

That's why I had my eye on a guy like Cornelius Washington - he played like a slug as a Sr, but watch his Jr year, and that's the type of player we need roving and wrecking havoc in sub-packages.

I just use Washington as an example... he played so poorly as a Sr, I don't know that I would have drafted him - but I would have been on the look out for that type of player.

TT passed on so many guys that could have helped though, and he threw a bunch of money at Brad Jones... so that tells ya right there that he sees defensive players differently than just about anyone else on the planet.

I have absolutely no idea how TT evaluates front seven personnel, but it certainly isn't with a care in the world about how their strengths and weaknesses fit, or don't fit, a scheme. He's said more than once that he cares more about drafting "good football players", and how they fit a particular scheme is a secondary consideration.

That's how we've ended up coming to own the Island of Misfit Toys.

"Oh, I'll NEVER fit in!"


Maybe as a tweener on the Packers' front seven!

That should be Pickett at 1 tech.
