Studs/ Duds Week 1

[wist43]

Good lord. We have no clue if TT wanted Pryor because he was gone by the time our pick came up. And we have no clue if Ted called the Jets about trading places either.

Didn't I hear TT say that Clinton-Dix was their number 1 Safety??

Maybe that's PR, but I believe him - CD is more of a finesse player, and Pryor is more physical. Everyone knew that - and everyone knows that Pryor would be the type of player Rex Ryan would like; and CD would be the type of player TT would like.

The Packers are all finesse, all the time - and it shows. Capers 2-4 and 2-5; finesse, weak ILB's; look at our Safeties; our CB's are excellent cover men - what is their weakness?? Tackling and physicality. Finesse is engrained within the Packers organization, coaching staff, and scouting dept. Those are the players our scouts and coaches like.

I don't think saying that is going out on a limb... all of the evidence says that is the case.

Except isn't one of the problems with the defense the last few seasons the lack of a ball-hawking center fielder? Pryor might be a more hard-nosed guy, but he does not have the range of CD.

I agree I'd like us to be tougher - specifically at ILB... but I don't think CD is the problem.

True, but TT's history is to get the ferries and pass on the fighters

[call_me_ishmael]

Are we talking about evening gown models - or knock your teeth out football players??

Give me the tougher, more physical player.

Of course, the Packers prefer the evening gown players... not that Clinton-Dix is all finesse - we'll see... but I wanted Pryor over Dix for the same reason that Rex Ryan cited.

You'd probably like 5'8" big-hitter Bob Sanders. I'll take the guy who can cover the new breed of NFL receiver. 6'1" is almost too short going forward.

[KYPack]

Those high pick DL's they have allow a guy like Prior to blow up people.

He sells out & all, but gives up as many big plays as he makes.

He's a peeker and I hope ARod catches him peekin'.

I didn't know Ted likes boating.

The Vikings are more into ferries.

Way to take that one around the horn!

Yeah, right, Ted is gonna say "We wanted Pryor but got stuck with Ha Ha". If we think about it Pryor is too short for us in this division with Megatron and those guys in Chicago to have to cover.

Well played sir!

He gave it a reach-around.

That sounds like a guy the Packers need to shore up their problems with big plays.

We've had high pick DL as well. Difference is that ours have stunk.

[Fritz]

I thought Nick Perry played pretty well, pretty physically. That physicality is much-needed on this team.

I thought DuJuan Harris's kickoff-return decisions were stoopid.

Mike Neal hustled and hustled and hustled. He chased running backs downfield, never gave up. How can you not like that level of effort when so many guys seemed not to be really passionate about that game?

Did, uh, Mike Daniels even play?
