2017 Packers Offseason Non-Draft Non-FAs

[pbmax]

Packers by the numbers.

http://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/mcginn/2017/02/09/mcginn-2016-packers-numbers/97661344/

In 2010, the Packers’ last championship season, they totaled 240 pressures, which are defined here as the total of sacks, knockdowns and hurries. Since then, their totals have been 184 in 2011, 202 in ’12, 171 in ’13, 218 in ’14, 210 in ’15 and 213 this season.

Nick Perry led the team in the vital category of pressures with 36. Rounding out the top five were Julius Peppers, 32½; Mike Daniels and Datone Jones, 31½, and Clay Matthews, 28½.

Then there was a big drop-off to Dean Lowry, 8½; Micah Hyde, eight; Kenny Clark and Kyler Fackrell, 6½; Morgan Burnett, 5½; Joe Thomas, five; Jake Ryan, four; Jayrone Elliott, three; Blake Martinez, two; Letroy Guion, Mike Pennel and Kentrell Brice, one, and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Quinten Rollins, one-half.

Among those without a pressure were Christian Ringo, LaDarius Gunter and Damarious Randall.

There is a possibility that, as humans often do with the passage of time, Lacy will mature and realize that it is in his best interest to get control of his weight and health. The story has not been quite finished.

He was staring at a contract year last summer and didn't do enough to get himself in shape. He did some...he didn't do enough.

I don't think "maturing" is going to fix the guy at this point. RBs in the league don't last long enough for teams to wait on them to grow up. He's not sobering up from frat boy life to raise a family in his 30s.

I don't think Lacy's weight was a concern last year. He could always lose a few pounds but he ran hard and was quicker with his cuts and in the open field before the ankle injury. The problem with Lacy is that he isn't a consistent professional in regards to his body. He simply isn't dedicated enough for the Packers to depend on him. I think he just enjoys the other aspects of life just a bit too much for NFL teams to rely on him.

7 yrs is a good run for a back-up RB with his injury history. #SoundsCallousButItsOver

yeah, thats no good, but something i said might happen months ago

anyone have a picture of him at the game?

Here is a photo of him at the NFCC game in Atlanta and I don't think he is enormous here.

Writer on writer violence, Cliff Christl whacks Bob McGinn with a white out bottle thrown across the room.

A recent Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story about the 1996 Packers stated that when they won the Super Bowl Lambeau “still was encircled by the corrugated steel fence dating to its construction in 1957.” For the record, that was incorrect and an example of how Packers history gets distorted when writers don’t verify what they present as facts.

Status of Year 2 Jumpers according to Mike McCarthy

http://www.packers.com/news-and-events/article-daily-news-story/article-1/Packers-counting-on-progress-from-defensive-draft-picks/c9654911-0ecc-4ab5-a95a-3c1fe7e11f14?campaign=sf59698348_TW_C-Content-GB_CT-Stories-GB_sf59698348

1. Kenny Clark - 5 QB pressures in 3 playoff games

“Kenny, if you just watch the progression of the season, his arrow was straight up,” McCarthy said at this year’s combine of Clark, the Packers’ first-round pick in 2016. “I thought he played extremely well the last six weeks. That’s something we need to build off of.”

2. Dean Lowry - 2 QB sacks in December

“He came on at the end of the year,” McCarthy said of Lowry, who recorded his two sacks in back-to-back weeks in December. “Get another year of weightlifting, and he can play the one and the three (technique).”

"We think its good cost savings that he can wear short sleeve shirts as proper business attire"

3. Kyler Holy Mackrell - second on team in coverage tackles (nine)

McCarthy sees Fackrell, a third-round edge-rusher from Utah State, with a “good frame” (6-5, 245) suited for “10-12 pounds of lean muscle mass” this offseason. His biggest rookie highlight was a strip-sack of Giants QB Eli Manning in Week 5. ~snipped~

“If he doesn’t get hurt he probably would have played a ton more,” McCarthy said. “He was playing really well when he got that hamstring.”

4. Blake Martinez - somehow pushed to bench by Joe Thomas*, after Martinez was injured and missed 3 games

“I think all these guys that fight through injuries, particularly when they’re young, early in their career, it needs to be evaluated and make sure they’re preparing themselves to get through that phase,” McCarthy said.

*Joe Thomas takes on the proud mantle of the Packer ILB who is at once, the most sound and reliable, but also the one who needs to be replaced the quickest.

one of the many stories i'm starting to see about why green bay should cut CM3

http://lombardiave.com/2017/02/23/green-bay-packers-clay-matthews-cut/

Turn on Matthews’ tape from the past two seasons and you’ll struggle to find a player worth such a staggering salary.

and the one i read today

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/espn-cutting-clay-matthews-would-be-bold-offseason-move/

Matthews, who will be 31 next season, probably has one or two more solid years in him before age really takes its toll, but it's always better to move on from a player a year too soon than a year too late.

and

Matthews ended with career lows in tackles and sacks, and dropped to playing just 46.4 percent of Green Bay's defensive snaps

and one talking about how both mathews and cobbs deals are hurting the team
