Ted and Brian and Dom and Mike

[pbmax]

Many here at Rat Central, and ALL of packer writer Twitter, is agog at the number of players that Ted drafted that Gute has let go.

But many are missing a big piece of the picture. I haven't read everything yet, but I have not seen one mention of the change at Defensive Coordinator as being behind some of the moves.

Remember 2009? When they asked a Pro Bowl DE to move to OLB? And the man was as unhappy as a silent person could appear to be?

AJ Hawk was moved to the middle in what would be, unfortunately, the beginning of the end of his effective play?

They let Colin Cole walk. They traded Tony Moll for Derek Martin. Let go of Lasagna, Antonio Smith (signed especially for Capers it was thought) was cut, let Cyril Obiozor go (they brought him back).

Jeremy Thompson and Brady Poppinga both held down time at OLB but didn't last a month holing off Matthews and by midseason Jones on the other side.

And some guy named Johnny Jolly beat out Justin Harrell and BJ Raji to start next to Pickett and Jenkins.

In 2018, I think the defensive backend has been turned over specifically to match the new scheme. Rollins has a new role. They matchup one big and one smurf with WRs.

Some of the cuts and trades might have been dead weight. But I suspect a number of them were due to the scheme change as well.

This should be an extra credit thread. The questions are too hard.

Solid take. That plays into it for sure and I haven't heard it mentioned until you did.

It is likely a factor. It's precisely the reason why the Colts were looking to trade Antonio Morrison. He was no longer a fit when they switched from 3-4 to 4-3.

[red]

well we didn't exactly switch from a 3-4 to a 4-3

and randall and rollins looked like shit in the last system too

beigel didn't exactly look like a superstar when he got on the field last year either

so it could be that the guys just sucked and that they were bad picks

I'm just calling it as I see it; they were shitty picks by ThanksTed

Could be. But Rollins is still here. Biegel looked small somehow.

Solid post by PB.

But Red is a helluva poster, at least as far as being succinct and damn funny. And maybe right, too.

I'll say something you'll never hear me say during a fantasy football draft.

I think Red is right )))

I'll entertain it but the lack of activity with them signing with other teams says a lot*.

* I have been busy and haven't actually validated any of this so there is a very good chance the above is completely false.

yeah, my bad. I remembered the IR but forgot the waived injured.

Thomas and Biegel signed elsewhere. Packers had no players claimed on waivers though. Won't know full story until it leaks out if any PS guys got minimum regular pay to sign.
