Rodgers Press Conference

[pbmax]

My first thought also was Green, Davenpoop, Henderson and Fisher.

They had the 4th and 26 game on ESPN2 last night. It would be nice to actually show some of the games the Packers won once and a while.

So far they have had the Fail Mary, 95 Cowboys NFC title game and 4th and 26.

When they tripped up Wahle on the goal line and Ahman didn't score on fourth down, I had to turn it off. Even though they still had the lead.

And in a rare moment, Troy Aikman actually gave some sound play calling advice on the replay (it was Buck, Aikman, Collingsworth): If you run a trap near the goal line and the D line penetrates, you could be in some trouble. It was hindsight sure, but a good note to make.

I wonder who will be our slot receiver this year. I don't even know who played the role last year, if I'm being honest.

I'd think it would be ESB or Begelton, who ran a 4.53 with a 39.5 vertical (pretty explosive), with Adams in there occasionally as well if the matchup is good. No idea on Funchess.
They might put Jace there too, since they often flexed Graham out.

In other words, it's likely by committee.

Dude you sound like a cross between my brother and my wife. My brother is a successful VP at a Big Bank and my wife is an Audit Risk and Compliance director at a large transit commission/authority.

LOL - I've got something of a similar background, so I guess you can see where my biases are!

[falco]

However, its also possible as others have pointed out that La Fleur doesn't want the Rodger's offense anymore. And its possible Gute doesn't want the cap restraint. So there could be pressure to end Rodgers time with the Packers early. Timing is a big thing though. As Andy Herman wrote, if you want to run a version of LaFleur's offense with a young QB and room to spend to help them, then Love really needs to be starting in his Year 3, 2022. He could start in 2021, but you won't have a ton of cap room yet if you resign the vets coming up.

If that's what they are driving towards, they are definitely taking a lot of risk. If you alienate Rodgers, Love is a bust, and MLF turns out to be a one-hit wonder, legacies will be tarnished.

We won't know any of that for at least another 2 or 3 years though...

[GB-Brandon]

Ahman Green, Vernand Morency, Noah Herron and Dr. Gado beg to differ.

But Ahman Green, Najeh "Compost" Davenport, Tony Fisher and William Henderson would like to fight you.

More games will need to be played obviously to prove it. I’m am expecting big big things from the current group. They have already won the “Underwear Olympics Competition” that’s for sure.

On paper I would have to to give the current group the nod.

[RashanGary]

Word is the new running back is really good at short yardage. That will come I. Handy with a running attack offense and game manager QB

[RashanGary]

Gonna be interesting to see how Aaron Jones, Jamaal Williams (who's working his butt off this off-season), Sternberger, Dillon, Deguara and Dexter Williams all come together this year.

Maybe we'll be all disappointed that we dont have 2011 type passing firepower, but then get bailed out by the run/play action offense and defense.

And maybe Adams, Lazard, Funchess and company will be better than we expect on top of it. Who knows! Exciting times!

Green had more yards rushing in 2003 than the whole team did in 2019.

Then add 400 for Poop and 200 for Fisher.

2020 backs aren’t going to come anywhere near those numbers.

Once again. I am talking about pure talent and they all show up on film but some is still college film I understand. These guys have RAS scores that combined are off the charts other then Williams. I really like Williams though and had him mocked to the Packers too back when he got drafted.

There is just a combination of everything here. Packer fans gonna Love AJ Dillon. Yes, they all have to put it together on the field but it’s all there on paper when you throw in how they can use Deguara.

Need another legitimate perimeter weapon to set it all off.

[GB-Brandon]

Dillon isn’t just big and fast and physical. He has amazing vision which sets him apart from a lot of big backs. He knows how to set his blockers up. His blocking might need to be cleaned up a little. They think he can catch.


IMO he is gonna be a “Star”

Mcginns scouts liked Dillon. Said he's kind of a luxury piece, change of pace, but he'll get you 3 in short yardage every time. Said second round, but a luxury piece cuz you need a change of pace with him.

[RashanGary]

Packers might be lining up to keep jones. Jones and Dillon make sense together. Almost as nice as elite receivers, a good running game might be good for Aaron's twilight. And I dont see why you can't play Aaron for four more years. Fuck it, just give love a try in his fifth year.

If Dillon can show he can catch consistently and cleans up his blocking he can be a “Showcase Back.” His feet are extremely quick for his size. Sometimes he gets a little too high which is correctable. Everything else matches his “Elite Talent.” This guy is scary explosive.

If he can stay healthy he will be better then Eddy Lacy. Book It!!!

I see him as Lacy-lite and I'm not talking about weight. I agree that he has quick feet for a man that size. However, Lacy was freakish in that regard. I don't think he's quite in Lacy's class in that regard. I agree with RG that Packers will want to pair Jones with Dillon for several years to come.

[GB-Brandon]

If you can keep them both then great. Dillon to me is much more talented then Lacy. We’ll see.
