KG Steps Down

[mraynrand]

Two years later he began working with Brandon Jackson, who was a terrible blocker, and made him a solid third down back by the time he left as a free agent. With WRs the last three years he weathered a lot of injuries last year and this, has Boykin playing better than I hoped, and seems to get the best out of his guys. He Just seems like an effective coach all the way around, looking at it strictly from the outside as a fan.

It's interesting though that Jackson couldn't play well enough to stay on with Cleveland (he lost a season due to injury - Injury Prone! - got ten touches in 2012, and then was cut the following preseason). But even after they traded away Richardson, there was absolutely zero interest. Brought in McGahee and a FA rook instead. So the evaluation spectrum goes from Bennett training him very well to play in the Packers system (and is a great coach) or he didn't really make much out of second round pick and he only thrived because of the Packers' system (Bennett is lousy).

Well, you probably want to inform Demarcus Ware, Terrell Suggs, LaMarr Woodley, Shaun Phillips and Robert Mathis to stop playing OLB so well since each had to affect a change in position during their NFL careers from DE to OLB.

Changing a position is a common occurrence in the NFL, though its far more common in college. Coversions at 3-4 OLB are the rule, not the exception at the Pro level.

When the defensive players in the Packers scheme are termed mis-matches or poor fits, it is not the position that is being questioned, its the match of skills to responsibilities. Perry has the skills they require at OLB. Whether he succeeds is up to him and his coach.

Lmao whatever you say bro, not going to even waste my time arguing with you. IMO we just lost a great OLB coach and I'll leave it at that.

BTW no one is saying Bennett is overrated he is a great coach as well, I just believe he has gotten more talent to work with. As far as when he coached RB it's pretty common for a no name RB to have a couple of good games in this league. Happens on every team especially when you have All-Pro QBs behind center. How many no name players break out at OLB? Comparing apples and oranges.

It does happen. James Harrison. Dumerville was a 4th round pick.

I don't think this is evidence that Green can't coach. But its not clear he is anything but average.

I suspect he coached Capers D and his personal approach well. He seems committed enough for that. But could he offer something to a player who had a slightly different role or physical characteristics? Did he offer anything in film breakdown or scheme prep?

We just don't know and the on-field evidence is mixed. He did seem to do OK with players in their rookie year (Jones, Zombo, Moses, Mulumba) though not all (Palmer).

BTW, Hoody Genius lost his best cover corner and surrendered 26 points on the road and could not get the ball back to his offense. Let the calls for his head commence.

That might be the ugliest trophy in sports.

Their D also gave up more yards per game then ours.

Could be, I don't know. I like his passion, that's for sure.
Why do you think he is a great coach?

Again, I will not argue that he is good or bad, I really don't know one way or the other.

This message board game is fun but next year I would rather win outright, not just the argument after.

If you are referring to the conference title trophies, yes, I agree. Looks like something from a Tiffany's clearance sale.

The old Halas and Hunt trophies had some heft to them and were much better looking than these cheesy things.

I think I may have said those were no great shakes, didn't they have a wood base? And I may have even been hopeful about the idea for a redesign.

But that redesign needs to be ditched.

Maybe it's fitting that a trophy named after a Bear is hollow.
