First Round Pick 2019, Rashan Gary

[run pMc]

I don't think the Packers pass rush, while improved, is quite world beating yet. Gary was a bet that one ridiculously talented guy would put that unit over the top. I don't have a problem with that plan.

I have more of a problem with the Packers Al Davis-like enthusiasm for athletic freaks and a all too common inability to get them up to speed, so to speak.

But it might have been worse to over estimate their WR talent. You don't need to draft Metcalf to help there. Being realistic about Graham would have helped.

Agree. I think Gute will review the WR group in the next draft. As for Graham, I think he's done here after this year and they will find someone else (or Tonyan becomes the guy). .
It's nice to have an athletic team but a big part of the pro game is between the ears. I think defensively they have decent coaching, I could be wrong.

Kenny Clark couldn’t beat out Letroy Guion.

I miss all the Packers huge D lineman. espeically the FA and waiver guys: Guion, Grady, Pickett, Howard Green

[Bretsky]

Kenny Clark couldn’t beat out Letroy Guion.

First off, Kenny Clark was not drafted in the top 10-12 area. But at about the 30th pick, he flashed plenty early on, and he produced well in college. At pick 30 the elite talented OT's were gone. At 12 we had plenty to choose from.

Gary half way to his senior season sack total from Michigan in about 40 NFL snaps. Has more sacks so far this year than Bradley Chubb and Von Miller combined. Hes not doing too badly, Bretsky. Might wanna just jump on board the Gary train while there is still comfortable seating.

Every year Leonard remains our DC I feel relieved. We are very lucky Jim Leonard loves living in Madison. I hope they keep giving him the max raise every season so we make it hard to leave for a huge raise

Might be hard for him to turn down a HC gig.

You always get so hung up on statistics and facts.

I watched the game, and I feel like Fackrell played better.

That one upfield rush Gary had for a sack made me feel better.

But I liked the hard corner he turned on his sack assist even more.

Gary was in the grocery store today. He didn't buy anything, but someone won a scratcher while he was there.

Is that the one where he showed some good speed, the ended the play by shoving his guy backwards about 5 yards to the QB?

That was the first time I actually have had hope that he might turn into a decent pro

[Gotarace]

I'll agree with the Gary point...these guys have thrown him under the bus before his career even started. I remember Aaron the first few preseasons and limited playing time where I was scared shitless at the Thought of Favre not being our QB. Look at what we ended up with. With the overhaul of our Defensive Side of things and Gary learning a completely new position give him a while to adapt to the system.


Bringing my comment from another thread so it is where it should be when I use.... I told Ya So.

Not sure, might be different? He was on the D's right, facing the LT. Got a speed rush and the corner on the guy. Possible he converted the speed to power.

In the preseason he had done this and just arc'ed around the pocket almost uselessly. Maybe the QB has to step up. But this time he put a foot down or something and turned the corner and barreled right in. QB avoided it but in moving put himself in the path of one of the Smiths. Made a much tighter pocket.

I think I do remember a power rush too, but don't remember the outcome.
