If the packers trade for good defensive lineman, this will hep the run defense tremendously

[australianpackerbacker]

Hey all,

Long time no post.

The packers are short one semi-dominant defensive lineman to be able to compete for a superbowl this year.

Thoughts?

I was also gonna say a WR, but in all honesty if this team gels and MVS starts making more plays, and Allison becomes a consistent security blanket/possesion guy, i think its enough with the RBs we have.

Also, did anybody notice Jimmy Grahams second gear on that catch and run? I was convinced he was done after multiple tackles within 2 yards of catching the ball. This could be an anomoly or he may be healthy, but i think hes still too fragile to be even a consisten answer for rodgers this year...seems like hes right on the edge of falling off, if he hasnt fallen already?

Miss you all.

I agree but finding those guys mid-season is like striking gold. Pretty rare you scoop up Howard Green off the waiver wire. And pass rushing, hard even with a trade.

I too was surprised by Graham's speed on that catch. It'd be great if he is finally getting healthier.

Maybe they can work rookie TE Stromberg into the lineup by the end of the season. Could compensate if Graham crumbles.

I don’t know if there is a run stopping tackle available. Maybe ATL will give up Grady Jarrett? lol.

Speaking of Falcons, Patriots traded for Sanu: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...u-from-falcons

How about Steve McLendon from the Jets? 10 year vet, maybe shore up the backup nose tackle spot. He's a 'starter' but plays half the snaps because they drafted Quinnen Williams to take his spot.

For an R2 pick. Sanu is a good player but that feels steep.

Dont know what the Jets are thinking, but id really like to see a Leonard Williams to GB trade scenario. A second and a third might be too low to get it done but i feel thatd be worth it.

We need run stoppers with slightly above mediocre pass rush skills, because theyre not gonna play NT, just END. Its hard watching Lowry and Adams/Lancaster get pushed off the spot so easy while Klarc Cent just hammers through, then all the QB needs to do is step up in the pocket, and the RB just needs to wait for his blocks to develop. If we had someone that could at least hold the spot, the run game would improve tremendously, which would allow the defense to be more aggressive.

[australianpackerbacker]

Im only saying all this shit is cos were really not far off from a superbowl, just literally 2-3 players away, 1 WR 1 TE and a solid DE. We can do without the first 2 because Rodgers is still Rodgers.

It’s a good idea for sure. Teams draft big guys first and never trade good ones. They’re too rare.

Laremy Tunsil? I understand its a tank job, and this is super embarrassing for the NFL in my opinion because there are a lot of things that can go wrong, not only with player safety but karmically(im a hippy at heart, what goes around comes around, that shits in the bible too yo) but the NFL has shown this year that teams are willing to trade away core players for a draft pick, not just the dolphins either...

And this could be a stepping stone to the demise of the great NFL, when pigs become hogs, they get slaughtered.

Very true... who do the dolphins have at DL

Since it appears that Detroit is in "sell" mode, I wonder if GB would benefit by trading for Snacks Harrison in order to shore up that run defense and give Kenny Clark a break?

I'm not sure how much Snacks is getting paid.

WR money.

Damon Harrison signed a one year extension on August 22, 2019 worth $11.25 million. The total paper value of the three year contract is $27.5 million. The extension gives Harrison $8.5 million in full guarantee with an additional $3.5 million injury guarantee in 2020. Harrison's 2021 contract year is a team option year due by the last day of the 2020 league year. Harrison can earn up to $500,000 ($31,250 per game active) in roster bonuses in all three years of the contract.

Thought I heard some rumblings about DET wanting to get out from the contract, that his production wasn't worth it. Snacks is good, but $11.25M? Ouch. Imagine what Kenny Clark's gonna get.
Lowry is ok and Lancaster's good playing the run, but they have room to improve.

2-3 players away, 1 WR 1 TE and a solid DE.

APRH, I'd add a ILB who could cover to that list.
