Bench Him

[pbmax]

If Dix wants to leverage his contract situation to his benefit, he should have sat out like Bell.

I lieu of that, bench him and start Jones. Put Brice deep. You won't get hurt on the inactive list.

He's gone all weak in the knees like JerMichael Finley over his contract situation.

As a whole, the Packers enter the week ranked fourth in total defense (313.8 yards per game) and tied for 13th in scoring defense (22.8 points per game) after some inconsistent play the first five weeks.

This is also the profile of a defense that is behind a lot early. I bet they have faced a high number of runs compared the League average.

Well, no. 24.8 per game puts them tied for 19th with the Vikings. So not quite a tire fire.

Good, cause I went into this article thinking the D has a chance to take a serious step forward.

Seems to me Ha Ha is just being honest. Nothing he said is unprofessional or surprising. Well, surprising that he is said it, but his position is not a surprise.

[run pMc]

Brice should be the #3 safety. Problem is, I'm not sure they have a #1 or #2 safety. Maybe Haha as a #2, he'll make some good plays and then do something boneheaded. Generally speaking, safeties gotta be steady, not vacate the middle of the field, and never let someone get behind them.

Josh Jones isn't the answer apparently...at least not without a smart guy like Charlie Peprah who can get him lined up. I kind of wonder if HaHa is the same way. If he thinks this is his last season in GB, Gutekunst and Pettine probably already figured that out. Even a non-scout like me can see the defense needs overhauling at OLB and S.

I will say the defense is better than last year, so there's that. Clark, Martinez, and the rookie CBs look like they could be pretty good.

Hey, if he wants a new deal now, then offer him a deal based on the way his played the last 2 seasons, like piss

Give him a 3 or 4 year deal worth 3 or 4 million a year

But my guess is the team is ready to move on from him too. He really has been giving it a half assed attempt since he made he pro bowl somehow

Trade his ass.

Hasn't this been kind of a cyclical thing?

IIRC several years ago players in a contract year were always saying that they never keep anyone so I'm probably gone. Then they actually signed some guys to second contracts.

Recently they have been letting some of them go again (Hyde, Heyward, Lang, etc.).

Plus Gute has extra picks so maybe that is part of the assumption as well - although this year they will probably go more for LB and OL in the draft.

Funny how he doesn't say, I haven't played up to expectations so they will probably let me go.

He's not worried about expectations now, he is worried about staying healthy. Understandable, but at cross purposes with the team.

Once he didn't get a deal with the team last year, this was probably inevitable.

Does anyone have his stats, particularly TRs (tackles refused)?

That plus the turnover in the secondary over the last couple of years -- Hyde, Hayward, Randall, Burnett.
