Crown his ass!

Gute desperately needs it to work as his draft picks are flaming out left and right!!!

Lucas Patrick got good news on his shoulder. He should be good to go next week. Now, let's get some good news on Clark.

[Patler]

We have to see Jenkins against top tier talent before we crown him. But he did nothing to suggest he doesn't deserve a crown some day.

Wagner getting beat by Jenkins might not mean as much as we think it means. Wagner being kept on the roster and plying well might mean something tho. Lots of information to sift through here.

In some ways, Wagner didn't get beat out by Jenkins, he was beaten out by Lucas Patrick. The coaching staff decided it was better to make two changes to the starting o-line than it was to simply insert Wagner. That usually is not a good sign because arguably you are then weaker at two positions.

Darnell Savage brought up the rear for PFF @ 38.5

Wow. That’s pretty bad.

Barnes had 6 tackles on 15 snaps. One was a TFL on a screen. I think there was another at the LOS. I won't crown his ass, but it would be funny if we solved the ILB problem with a late round pick (Martin) and a UDFA (Barnes) + Kirksey. I think Summers has some potential. Hopefully, Greene gets back to where he was at the start of last year.

Kamal Martin can ball!!! They need to get him back.

Right now they have a lot to figure out.

Take a look at the Vikes. They had 14 picks, 10 on the roster. R1 pick Gladney played ST, R2 pick Ezra Cleveland didn't suit up, R1 pick Justin Jefferson dominated with 2 catches for 26 yards. Dantzler got a toasty welcome to the NFL. KJ Osborn, a Day 3 pick, probably had the biggest impact returning kicks.

How about DeAndre Swift dropping a game winning TD throw for Det, or the fact that the Lions are playing a 35 year old Adrian Peterson over Kerryon Johnson and Swift.

Look around the league; many draft picks don't pan out and GMs keep their jobs...and so do the online "draft gurus".

He had an awful game. I saw that right away. Cocky kid. Needs his head on straight. He's young. He don't know shit.

You can cherry pick some guys from yesterday but Gute’s philosophy and not addressing needs on a team that could be a Super Bowl contender has been catastrophic.

I’d argue a 6th grader can chart an RAS board if you really want to get down to it. Then you throw in the stubbornness to not get Rodgers more playmakers on offense and it’s not good. Gute’s been here 3 years now. Where are all his players? Show me?

If anyone can’t see what this offense would be like with a legit weapon opposite Adams after yesterday then I can’t help them.

Watching the tape today... noticed Barnes - Burks nowhere in sight. Barnes showed good recognition and instincts.

Think they've given up on Burks... great athlete, just can't play football.
