First Round Pick 2019, Rashan Gary

[bobblehead]

By all accounts, NFL players and executives are extraordinary people. They have jobs that there is a gigantic amount of demand for and very limited supply. They have some of the most qualified people in the world filling them. It is complete and utter nonsense to think that some hubris-filled guy on a chat forum who gets shit wrong *constantly* could do a better job. It takes some serious stones.

Yet you constantly insist you could make better policy than the guy who beat 17 Republicans and Hillary to be President. By your own logic you should simply put your hubris aside and accept that Trump knows better than you about running the country. Please document all the shit I get wrong constantly. I generally own my mistakes so it shouldn't be that hard. Hell, its easy if you ignore all the links I provide proving I'm right and then declaring that I'm wrong and facts don't matter....in fact its something I admit you are better than me at.

And before anyone is upset that I'm bringing politics into this, its a direct correlation between his argument about my statement and his HISTORY of refuting that very same argument he made.

Well, Rashan Gary played six snaps, apparently. He had one QB pressure on a stunt, I think. Let's see what week two brings. The Smith boys will need a breather.

Did Fackrell play? I didn't see him, or hear his name, at all.

Holy Fack played over 20 snaps. Clearly they believe he is ahead of Gary as a player overall, but they did put Gary in to pressure the QB late so thats a glimmer...

I that, APRH, by Week 8 Gary will get more snaps than Fackrell. My guess is between learning the defense (and his role in it) and recovering from the preseason injury they wanted to ease him in.

I liked that they brought him in late for some snaps to give the other pass rushers a breather. Can make it tough on the OL as well with a freak athlete like that going in fresh. He got a good hit on Trubisky.

Fackrell did play. Hustled around and was never quite close enough. He closes the pocket though so he will work well with this if others actually get the QB to move. He is a complementary piece at this time.

Let's call a spade a spade. Having Fackrell in there 4x as much as Gary is pathetic. This is not what GB was expecting from a top 12 pick. I know it's convenient for everybody to make excuses. I need to come up with a nickname for this guy. Maybe that will turn his career around (it did with the Fresno Fraud). Fluffy ? GreatHype ? Shary Gary ?InvisibleStud ? I need suggestions.

Gooters f'cked up by drafting this guy. We had a stud OT there to set us up for the future. And we had another stud pass rusher in Brian Burns as a perfect fit. Good thing we drafted better picks after Gary

Why didn’t Gary play every snap, make 12 tackles, two sacks and a fumble recovery in his first game as a rookie starter?

Bust.

WAY too soon for negativity about Gary.

Bust.

I’m surprised he’s still on the team.

Tex, you commented on PackerRats. I think you were confused and thought you were at Sports Illustrated or something nearly as sedate.

[Joemailman]

He'll be a Patriot soon.

[call_me_ishmael]

He had two pressures on six snaps. Pretty damn good lads!

[wist43]

Gary didn't play much and Keke was inactive??

Facrell can't play, and Keke looks like the real deal, so some curious goings on.

Sticking with my contrarian nature I'll point out that Fack had double digit sacks last year and isn't a complete slouch. He probably should be ahead of a rookie at this point. But alas, I agree, it wasn't a great pick.

Keke looks like a future star to me. Really promising.

Here are all of Gary's snaps. They're actually pretty productive in my opinion. He'll be playing over Fackrell in short order me thinks.

You obviously didn't follow Gary much at Michigan or his lack of production so far or the fact that he's not currently good enough to get on the filed would not be a surprise.

Ya it's early. But we should be questioning why the hell a 12th pick the draft con't crack the lineup instead of defending him to the end. See Brian Burns for actual production form a LB they could have had.

Obviously at this point the coaching staff has to be disappointed he has not earned more playing time. But up to this point what he's earned is the bench.

I agree he passed Fackrell some day and hopefully soon.

It must be killling Wist the Kyle Fackresll is outperforming Rashan Gary at this point. I think he's went into hiding.


It's a good thing out later 1st round pick is helping more than Gary. If he was equally as disappointing our defense would be not as good.
