Predict their 2020 stat lines (Gary first)

[RashanGary]

I know man. I laughed my ass off at some of the comebacks and shit talk people give me. I've been here a long time. Long enough to be able to laugh and not take shit too seriously

[Bretsky]

Don't forget he was Nick Collins and Greg Jennings.

Hmmmm; so he went from Successes to Failures )))

Sounds like we should just all caramel it out at the Oval Office and declare somebody a winner.....lol

Yep. Sounds like!

He's going to play about 20% of the snaps unless a Smith gets hurt. That would be a good number.

I would guess more than 20%. Will be mixed in on the line/as part of the 3 OLB look.

You think Frackle is gone, or he's back and Gary moves ahead of him?

Even if he stays, he'll take more of Frackle's snaps and I think they'll put him along the D line more. A little more weight/strength and he should take away snaps from anyone else they throw along the line except Clark, unless they pick up a beast in FA/draft, even if he's mostly pass rushing.

I wish they'd give Fackrell a shot at ILB.

Fackrell = Swiss Army Knife

Swakrell.

Fackrell got 40% last year, Gary got 25%. I didn't think Gary would be that high. Assuming Crackle signs somewhere else, and Gary isn't beaten out by a draft pick, he should hit that 40% mark. I'm just not thrilled after last year. I'll be happy if he proves me wrong, just got a bad feeling.

Without Fackrell I expect 50% or more.

Fackrell's not coming back. Word is he wants to sign elsewhere so he can compete for starting snaps. He's not going to start ahead of the Smiths, and clearly the team is going to want Gary to produce. Also, he'll turn 29 in November... there's not a lot of upside left with Kyler.
I could see them spending a late round pick on an OLB unless they really think either of Greg Roberts/Randy Ramsey can be a contributor. Gary playing 35-40% of the snaps sounds right about what I'd expect, APRH and Pettine doesn't modify his scheme to play 3 OLBs at once more often.

Kyler at ILB is an interesting idea, but the JSO guys poo-poo'd it saying he doesn't have the COD needed to play it. Seems like he wasn't awful when they did put him there but I don't think it was many snaps, and I could see a good OC scheming mismatches there.
Maybe Gute kicks the tires on a guy like Cameron Brown as a late round/UDFA flyer (or spends a high pick on Zach Baun) to play multiple LB spots.

Part truth, part Kool-Aid: https://www.packers.com/video/rock-r...-rookie-rewind

I still think Gary will be something like a Nick Perry without the glass hands, and I also think they will try to use him like they do with ZaDarius (lined up all over, including as inside DL rusher).
I don't think he will be JJ Watt.

COD?

Change of direction.
