Montgomery to Ravens

[Fritz]

Damage control. But still, GB will have to fill-in their RB depth with a less talented player.

I hear Davante Mays is available.

I hear Davante Mays is available.

Browns signed him to their practice squad last week.

Browns signed him to their practice squad last week.

Er, I meant available for when MM takes over in Cleveland.

Yeah, that's what I meant.

[George Cumby]

That tells his players that he won't hang them out to dry in public. You may not like it, but the players must, dontcha think?

This. Whatever his shortcomings, Fat Mike, soon to be ex coach of the GreenBay Packers, shows good leadership skills and doesn’t under bus his guys.

[run pMc]

Well, the pick won't amount to much, but at least they got something for a player many were calling for the team to cut.
I wish Ty the best in BAL and beyond, unless he plays against GB. I wouldn't be surprised if they promote a FB or sign that Darius Jackson guy back on the 53. (or just bring Trevor Davis off IR to be PR/KR.)

The trade also essentially wipes away the 2015 draft class for the Packers:

First round: Damarious Randall, S – traded to Cleveland on March 9 for DeShone Kizer
Second round: Quinten Rollins, CB – released with an injury settlement on Sept. 10.
Third round: Ty Montgomery, WR – traded to Baltimore on Oct. 30.
Fourth round: Jake Ryan, LB – on Packers injured reserve
Fifth round: Brett Hundley, QB – traded to Seattle on Aug. 29.
Sixth round: Aaron Ripkowski, FB – cut by team on Sept. 1.
Sixth round: Christian Ringo, DE – cut by team in September, 2017.
Seventh round: Kennard Backman, TE – cut by team August, 2016.

Between 2014 and 2015, Ted really whiffed...or Gute is cleaning house? (Both.)

OK, before I rant, let me make one thing clear: I DO agree that Ty needed to go. If reports were true, he had lost the support of teammates in the locker room. That would have just ended up being toxic. Now the man and the team can move on.

That being said, I found it curious that Ty was quoted as saying that he was unclear in his role on the team. I just can't help thinking that we lacked really any creativity in using Ty. I can understand his frustration. The guy had some very solid games as a WR, as well as a few good ones as an RB. Why could Stubby not have used him in more of a "James White" role, running him out of the backfield and using him as a receiver? The same could be said of Cobb. There is zero creativity from our coaches on using skill players. You look at a guy like Tyreek Hill (I get that neither Ty or Cobb are on that level) but couldn't they be used similarly? Now, more than ever, I am on board with 0ur coaches and O-coordinators being "freshened up."

[Patler]

Packers might get nothing out of this. The 7th round pick is described as "conditional" on several sites. No idea what the conditions are. (performance? roster longevity? re-signing for 2019?)

and only 1 player remains from 2013

TT was not a guru, and destroyed this team

no fumbles after bringing it out against orders, I'm sure.

There were doing that, not with Cobb but with Monty. And a few nice runs or catches, but overall it wasn't working well. But screens, blocking first than catch the ball out of the backfield, running occasionally from shotgun, he was doing all this stuff.

It never looked like Hill and KC, but it looks a lot like NE with him in there. Packers have not used the short game as consistently well as the Patriots. But it wasn't his role, it just wasn't as effective as Jones.

[Sparkey]

He was supposedly on the field because he was "better" at picking up the blitx and line stunts...... Then he missed a line stunt and Donald pummeled Rodgers and soon there after tries to return a kick from the endzone and fumbles. Gameover, both for the Packers and for him.

Often times, trying to DO MORE results in LESS.

Yes, Stubby rarely throws his players under the bus even if the player deserves it.

Yes, his last 3 drafts were not so hot but he was the architect of the 2010 team. If we want to blame anybody we should be directing our ire at Mark Murphy for not moving on from Ted 2 years ago.

This is a really important point. I was blaming Taylor exclusively for that whiff on 3rd and 6, but Monty may have made the wrong read on his protection.
