Former Packers still pursuing the dream

[Freak Out]

By saying Sitton obviously and Lang probably were better than a (healthy) Spitz, I am somehow losing credibility?

Have you lost all memory of 2005-2010?

Who is winning versus the battle against the Giants Aces? Spitz ain't falling down!

Ban this picture. Ugh...

And Janis is a Brown now. The former Packers scouting staff is using former Packers players (and mostly Packers castoffs) to bring the level of competition up to a baseline they can operate from. Familiarity? Better castoffs than other teams? Or Packers bad at recognizing their own (cue "Janis is an All-Pro talent")?

We'll never recover from losing our 6th best option at WR. We are in full rebuild mode.

Glad you got paid JJ; wish you well

But won't miss you

Might on punt coverage

Looks like the Jordy Nelson sympathy tour is in full swing now. ...

Apparently, they just repainted the Jennings bus.

It's like the Packers had a garage sale and Cleveland bought everything.

Yes. He wasn't special as a WR but he is a great ST player.

There is something missing from Janis. He was a terror in High school, big numbers, etc. But no big school would give him a ride. His measurables were great for the NFL draft, but he was a 7th rnd pick.

In his 4 years as a WR, he only caught 17 passes for one TD (Post season he grabbed 7 balls for 2 TD's) He had a route tree that looked like a flag pole. That said, he was one of the best gunners I've ever seen.

Brown HC Hue Jackson is an old OC. One of Jackson's strengths is finding out a player's abilities and maximizing those attributes into his schemes on O. Maybe he can do that with Jeff J.

I was about to write that scouts and GMs have sleepless nights about Janis and this type of outcome, but he was a low round pick, so not exactly Willis Adams.

However, KYP makes a tremendous point. Something has been weird about his career since High School apparently and people watching noticed.

The way Jeff Janis ran routes in Green Bay ...I'll be surprised if he can find his way too Cleveland.

We'll never forget you Geoff.

Yep, run it up the flagpole 3-4 times a game and see who salutes.

" The wrong Target Brett ! " Freak Out.

Brett needed to use his transitions.

1.) Pass right ..NO WAY te coverage was over the top too tight.

2.) Flip the ball to the guy right in front of you for an easy first down, as he catches the soft pass and turns it upfield for Ten Plus.

3. ) Look center(not bad) ... 4. ) look left (Nope that pass attempt likely gets blocked).

Take the too easy 2.) Option.

All of that is easy to analyze in the Film Room. Yet in the heat band under the gun...it gets to mind over matter.

Favre had 'the Blinders on' and somehow believed his arm would carry the moment. His brain 'on that play' wasn't faster than his strong arm mentality.
