First Round Pick 2019, Rashan Gary

[Bretsky]

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.

Your guy Brian Burns would look GREAT in Green n Gold

At this point Fackrell is greater than Gary.

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.

Bretsky of course I followed Gary at Michigan.

We shouldn't be questioning why he isn't playing yet. Some teams like to bring rookies along slowly. It's too early. Let's not forget he was injured a couple weeks back and learning a new position.

I was more pro-burns than anyone on this board, so I get it, but Gary is the guy we've got and he is a much better fit for Pettine's defense.

Take a look at these early season stats for a player who was a DPOY and DROY. Sometimes - it just takes a little bit of time to get settled.

I always love it when the Packers chose a 1st draft pick that has to learn to play their position. A project player I believe they call them.

They have loads of raw talent, strength, speed, and youth. They aren't like so many 1st rounders on other teams that transition quickly into highly productive starters, but hey, their "projects" and need to be developed. It's ok though as long as other players can start at the position.

Wow, maybe the Packers can draft another 1st round project in the 2020 NFL Draft. Gary will be a 2nd year project by then. Oh Boy !

It would be weird if the Packers say, drafted a lineman out of his junior year and he only started 2 games the whole season and had 9 snaps, one combination and one assisted tackle in his first game, right? I’m sure no one would ever imagine him becoming a key element of the Packer defense, right?

But...but...9 is more than 6!

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.

Gary is a one trick pony so far. He either was the business end of a E-T twist or he crashed down to allow a D-E stunt (DT loops outside OT).

Yeah, unthinkable - unless he came from UCLA or something hahahahaha.

I remember Clark being invisible till the last couple games his rookie year. Perhaps that will be Gary's route as well.

yup...and he wasn't learning a new position too.

All I have left on my bucket list is kicking it.

He dragged his blocker with him on the screen. Guys behind him cleaned it up. 1 hit every 6 snaps would be amazing. Wonder if he played 30 snaps if he would keep it up.

pbmax made reference to tracks across Tank's back and I'm sure he stole that from Hendrix song "Crosstown Traffic"

Bretsky, with how you're judging Gary, I would expect you to come in here talking about how Devin Bush is a bum and is destined to be a bust. He did not play well at all and was beat quite often tonight.

I didn't see the game but my first question would be, Was he good enough to play quality snaps

In looking at the stats he had 7 tackles and 4 assists in one game; I'll take that from Gary any game he can put that type of production together. Do we see a game this year that Gary is in on 11 tackles ?

And I don't see how the judgement of Gary is rocket science. Green Bay never gets in the top half of the draft. We landed the 12th pick. I thought a Packer coach noted after the draft they graded Gary as the top edge rusher. And he's invisible in the preseason against 2nd and 3rd stringers and hardly sees the playing field yesterday.

I don't get how that can be viewed as anything other than disappointing.

I'm curious how the 8th through 15th picks did. Barring QB's, or maybe an OL (even thought it's rare), it's fair to expect instant help from those guys.

Jaire Alexander gave that to us. Savage is giving that to us. Gary should be too
