First Round Pick 2019, Rashan Gary

[run pMc]

P Smith isn't bad on the move either. He made two tackles near the sideline while he was being blocked. He just got in the way. That doesn't normally catch people's eye as a "motor", but that guy doesn't care if he is being blocked or not; he is getting to the ball.

One of these days he is going to shoulder into a leaping RB along the sideline and will send him over the medical tent and into the tarp.

I was hoping Gute would at least pursue Preston, and was glad they did (and surprised they signed him, to an ok deal). Over his career he's been productive/disruptive and more consistent (and healthy -- knock on wood) than Nick Perry, so for a little more money they got a better player IMO.

I know the play you're talking about. He takes on the blocker and moves with him and then sheds when it's optimal. That guy is savvy. Note: he had two sacks last time he played the Bunkos, one was a strip sack of Rottweiler.

Gary had 14 defensive snaps yesterday. I remember those plays. Everybody was better.

Kyle Fackrell is better because of Rashan Gary

Glad you've finally joined the Makes Everybody Better Bus !! WELCOME

Too early and too small a sample size on Gary. Give him time to develop.
He has gotten some pressure, and has shown some hustle, so he's not been a total dud. I think more time is needed to give a verdict.

Completely agree; but the sample size reaks of Epic Disappointment. Michigan Fans understand

We can't go a day without a post in the Fraud's thread.

At least rostering this guy gives us a chance to discuss the opportunity for Kyle Fackrell to become a smash mouth stud for the Green Bay Packers.

WIST....where are you ?

Kyle Fackrell is better because of Rashan Gary

you mean because we are comparing him to Gary...yea, I see that.

I agree that Gary is not Fackrell, but Fackrell is not Myles Garrett or Shaquil Barrett. A first round/first pick player should be plug and play. Projects should be reserved for 5th to 7th round picks.

Green Bay did not think they were drafting a project. At pick 12 they thought they were getting an impact player that would help the immediately.

Pretty sure one coach noted he thought Gary was the best Edge Rusher in college.

Green Bay just may have drafted the wrong guy

We wouldn’t have gotten Aaron Rodgers, Davante Adams or Kenny Clark then. Our three best players were top two round projects.

“Fackrell is not Miles Garrett.” Got to write down these gems.

Huge, if true.

If Gary is not playing more snaps than Frackle by the end of the season, then yes. CM3 didn't start until like game 8. Unless of course, you think Brad Jones was a better player than Clay?

I think it was Poppinga, but point stands.
