Seems like a great kid. Hope he makes it to camp. He also saved a guy's life.

McCarthy just praised Reggie Gilbert (highly). So he’s either going to make the jump or get cut at the end of summer.

I have high hopes for him. He was showing up in games last year too.

A year ago MM was noting this is the deepest group of OLB"s he's had in Green Bay. It's a bad warning sign when he opens his mouth

so fat mike is the problem?

he's the one that keeps thinking we are just fine at OLB. year after year after year

Highly unlikely MM thinks we are strong there; he should just not talk about it

PS. I'll still take TJ Watt from last year.

We need to sign a pass rusher still

Well, I guess He could have said "We don't have shit at OLB, so don't blame me. Blame TT."

Reggie Gilbert showed serious flashes last preseason and late last year. I think the Packers might have found a player there.

After this draft where we just drafted 2 more cbs in the first 2 rounds?

Yes, watt should have been the pick last year. 100% imo

[The Shadow]

Next year with 2 first round picks perhaps we'll have that ammo to move up and take a real EDGE gem?

Or a quarterback....

if things go the way most are predicting and the packers and the saints both have big years, we'll have enough ammo to only get up to around #12

or right about where we were this year when there weren't any elite pass rushers worth drafting there

lets play a fun numbers game, since this thread is doing pass rush vs coverage

SINCE 2014, 4 years ago

we have spent 1 first round pick on a safety (clinton dix)
one second round pick on a safety (josh jones)

2 first round picks on cbs (randall and alexander)
3 second round picks on cbs (rollins, king, jackson)

by my count, thats 7 first and second rounders for our secondry out of 10 picks total (kenny clark, spriggs, davante)

meanwhile at OLB, where the bulk of your pass rush in a 3-4 comes from

we spent a fourth on biegel last year, and in 2016 we drafted fuckerall in the 3rd. those are the only 2 picks in the top 4 rounds that we've spent on OLB since 2012 when we drafted perry in the first. 2 lousy picks in the mid rounds for the most important position in a 3-4, when the 2 starters are 2 of the most injury prone players on the team, if not the league

i don't care how good your secondary is. if a QB has 5, 6 or 7 (which we have seen way too often) seconds in the pocket, he's gonna find someone

How much capital is tied up in OLB currently on the GB roster? If Thing 1 and Thing 2 play 16 games this year, they will be fine.

And they have spit on a lot of very good LB's to take slugs at other positions...

To me defense is first and foremost about pass rush... the Packer brass obviously doesn't agree.

Has that ever happened?
