Packers Sign DL Letroy Guion

[SMBASS]

How many DL do the Packers have under contract now? Seems like a bunch!

I'm not sure but it's seems like maybe 7?

Not Signed: Pickett, Wilson, and Jolly.

Signed: Guion, Peppers, Worthy, Daniels, Raji, Boyd, Jones (Am I missing anyone?)

I think they carried 8 on the final 53 man roster last year and Wilson was inactive for a bunch of games.

had more sacks last year (1) than pickett and raji combined.

ouch.

Vikings cut Gilbert Brown once upon a time

C'mon Ras, give us a scouting report.

Guion is a tub of shit. I'll be impressed if he makes the 53.

[pbmax]

Bretsky, that's two. Time for an avatar change!

If he was poor as a nose in a 4-3 under Frazier, I doubt he is playing NT behind Raji in a 3-4 at 76" and 308 pounds. Sounds like a DE. Even PFF says he shouldn't have been at nose.

Still no obvious backup to Raji unless they REALLY like Boyd there. Outside of preseason, not sure we saw him there.

Really?

I'd like to get a real old-fashioned Packer Rats argument over this, but I have no recollection of this guy. I have an idea of most of the players on the 3 rivals, but I can't say that I ever remember this guy playing a down of defense for the Queens, let alone starting 13 games.

Not laughing but he was pretty bad last year. He got outplayed by Fred Evans but for some reason Frazier kept trotting him out there. He was asked to play more of a NT position so maybe he can be better in some other role. There was alot of excitement with Viking fans when he was cut. He ranked 60 out of 69 DTs per Pro Football Focus.


Not sure what role TT has in mind.

see, camp fodder

thank you ras

Sometimes a change of scenery or different role helps. Vikings sign a cb named Cox off SD Chargers and he was beyond shitty last year You never know what they see in these guys.

Wasn't Guion the one who used to get all the dumb offsides penalties?

Seems like he's more of a 5 tech than NT, but I'm not exactly in love with this. Seems like a depth pick in case the draft or TC doesn't go how they like and they aren't stuck pulling guys off the street like CHI was last year.
I have no idea how 'athletic' he is. Agree they still need a backup NT. I don't know if Boyd is the answer, but I didn't get the sense the coaches wanted him at nose.

LOL
yeah I guess Derek Cox was benched 3 times in 4 weeks. Are you thinking he'll fit right in with Josh Robinson? FWIW I think Zimmer will improve that defense, and the team will be better than 4-5 wins.

Robinson was actually playing better after a horrendous start when he fractured his sternum. THAT has to sting.
