Why the Packers are better than last year: D edition

[RashanGary]

Darnell Savage 4.36
Alexander 4.38
King 4.43
Amos 4.56

The average 40 yard dash time of the whole starting secondary is 4.43.

That speed, experience and cohesiveness is going to make for a top 5 secondary!

And who stops the TE running crossing routes?

Raven Greene, Will Redmond and Chandon Sullivan have gotten some good experience with the defense too. Maybe not world beaters, but guys you can count on to run the defense at this point in their respective careers from those nickel and dime spots.

Same guy that has been for 20+ years. No one.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I have hopes for Raven Greene.

Mike Daniels might be a decent pick up. Could eat some of Clark's NT snaps. He'd generate more knock back and interior pressure than Lowry on pass rush snaps at 5t.

Not a great positional fit for base, when you consider Clark is the clear starter at NT, but when you start thinking situational and rotation snaps, he makes a lot more sense. Shouldn't be too expensive. 5m maybe

If I was building a franchise I would quite possibly make this same point.

But its not how they (Wolf's Packer proteges) view the draft. Its sacrosanct to pick for the future, even to the present's detriment.

However, I made a point earlier that 2019 in retrospect might seem exactly like 2007. Except no one knows if Love can play and the Packers were increasingly sure Rodgers could.

So this might be 2005. Clearing the decks, one wackdoodle pick (Gary is going to get snaps one way or another so I don't think he's truly on the bench) and a 2-3 year window.

Yet it hasn’t been “Saving For The Future”. It looks more like a dog chasing it’s own tail. He went crazy and spent 155 million on Z.Smith, P. Smith and Amos alone. He even threw another 20 million at Dean Lowry. McCarthy got hung to dry which = Rashan Gary.

Let’s go to the NFC Champ Game guys and give everyone “Blue Balls.” Now let’s ramp up all the hype and “Slam On The Breaks” and reboot and trade up for a QB in the first round.

This dysfunction is exactly why we only have 1 Super Bowl in the Rodgers era.

Now it’s Rodgers turn to get “Hung Out To Dry”

“Bad News Gute!!!”

I hate to be pedantic but your posts give me a headache.

No worries. That's far from pedantic.

Just laying out facts. It confuses me why so many Packer fans get trapped into this “At Least It’s Not The 70’s and 80’s”. Yeah, there was some tough years there but it was a different time and place. At times the franchise was just trying to financially stay alive and the playing field financially was far from being equal across the league. I can understand operating then on certain principles. I can also understand some trauma and this “Save Up For A Rainy Day Procedure”

The problem is it’s 2020 and now there is TV revenue that’s equally shared across the league. Even the Jacksonville Jaguars are profitable. The field has been leveled. We don’t need to operate on this “Narrow Driven Level” of a few years down the road continuously. There building “Title Town district” out as far as the eye can see. The Kansas City Chiefs(Smaller Market) just won the Super Bowl. This excuse of we have to do it this way and play it safe is worn out. There just isn’t as much of an economic disadvantage anymore.

The question is would you give up a couple of those 10-6 seasons for a couple more Super Bowls over the last ten years? You know what my answer is.

Nothing you said has anything to do with my comment.

Well I guess we’re all walking around with headaches then.
