JS- SAFETIES CAUSE PACKERS DEFENSE MORE HARM

[KYPack]

Have you watched Elam play? He's constantly making plays and one of the surest tacklers on that team. Saw him drive on a run play from maybe 15 yards deep in the secondary to make a tackle behind the LOS. Haven't seen any of our guys do that.

That's his strength. But...

He makes big time errors in coverage and in his positioning. I saw Andy Dalton burn him with a simple nod and post for a 50+ yarder to AJ
Green. That can happen to anybody, but the read was very simple and Elam was totally flummoxed by what should have been basic cover.

A Raven fan next to me had some hilarious comments about Elam. He said the kid was a typical stupid rook, but he was still better than Michael Huff who stunk up the joint in the Ravens opener and was cut.

Collins was frustrating cause he would be in position to make a pick but he couldn't catch a thing. Burnett didn't seem to even have any chances at a pick this year. I'm certainly not giving up on him but he was a huge disappointment to me this year.

I can think of one play that he was <> this close.

I'm going to likely re-post this here because it's useful:

RE: FS Morgan Burnett's contract.

Gleening it maybe? there's a reason "NO REASON in my books" (or alibi) for his play to have fallen off?

He signed the contract. If I was exactly him in his position at the time I wouldn't have accepted TT's/ Russ Ball's offer.

IMO he short changed himself hugely. He needs a new agent. The gurantee he got from that contract sucks.

He may be almost begging to get get rejected by Green Bay? He may be carrying a HUGE chip on his shoulders?

He accepted his own poison.

Again his agent didn't take good care of Morgan Burnett.

That Ted Thompson is certainly a sly Ole dog. He would have made an excellent BANKER.

GO PACK GO !

Byrd/Ward/Whitner will be the best safeties available in FA.

Byrd wanted to be the highest paid safety this year.

Maybe Ha Ha Clinton-Dix falls to us in the draft.

Earl Fucking Thomas, the Third is the best safety in the NFL.

Earl is really really good.

I'd take that pair in their prime over the Doc and Burnett.

I'd say Mark Murphy and Tom Flynn were the worst pairing I've ever seen and Murph had his moments.

Hell, those two managed to pick off 3 between 'em.

Jenning scouldn't even manage ONE pass defended?

You'd think 1 ball would have hit him or something!

You have to be near a receiver in order to defend a pass.

He's very athletic. He managed to get out of the way.
