We need our best coverage guy on the field more. Jefferson and Davante no match for Preston.TheSkeptic wrote: ↑18 Dec 2023 06:59Can anyone tell me why Preston Smith is on the field so much? He had 39 snaps. He produced no sacks and no tackles and just 1 assist.
By contrast, LVN had 3 tackles and an assist and a SACK in 26 snaps and Enagbare had 2 tackles and an assist and a SACK and a forced fumble in 25 snaps.
It seems to me that this is another reason to fire Barry, he puts the wrong player on the field too much.

I've always been a fan of moving on from Joe Barry, now more than ever.
There was a play late in the 3rd quarter/early 4th when we were on defense. TB was about to snap the ball and Rudy Ford was waving his arms frantically indicating (1) he didn't know what the play/assignment was or (2) he did, and others weren't lined up correctly. The play resulted in a TB touchdown.
We certainly have enough talent on the defensive side of the ball to play better and more consistently. Maybe not a top 10-like defense but certainly better than what has been shown week in and week out.

I don't mess with karma or whatever voodoo sh*t somebody put on Preston Smith. I think this should be his last year here unless he agrees to a massive pay cut. Overall a great signing. He provided 3 excellent years out of 5.
Preston has been one of the few packer players to live up to his contract for the duration of his time here. He hasnt been league best, but hes been just fine. Hes acted his wage.

yup, even the years people think he has been bad...hes been available, better than his backup would have been, and adequate. Hes been a great Packer/signing.

Also, Romoe Doubs is a really good blocking WR.
We have a really, really good and young group at WR.

The fact that our illustrious DC has Smith covering any WR is a fireable offense.BF004 wrote: ↑18 Dec 2023 08:30We need our best coverage guy on the field more.

Rasheed Walker been stringing along some nice games.
I think you try to upgrade, but you also really don’t need to trade up to like #6 or anything to take a tackle.

Yeah, I'm not saying they can't, just that we can set our goals a little higherDrj820 wrote: ↑18 Dec 2023 06:11
Those things can happen and Barry can still be fired
I don't much care who he has to fill the role. If he hasn't got anyone who can stop Godwin getting open in midfield for an easy 15 yard gain, then he needs to do something different - not carry on doing the same thing badly.Yoop wrote: ↑18 Dec 2023 07:48who else does Barry have that can drop into a zone out of a 50 front base front package? not defending Barry, and maybe others can do it, but I havn't seen LVN drop, or Gary, or Enegbare, imho Smith has to play till someone else can actually be a OLB, and do that stuff, your asking a bunch of DE's who have probably never been asked to drop and cover to do it.
And Smith has played pretty well all year.
The D had one tactic - get a sack. If they didn't get a sack, then the completion was there all day long. It is pathetic to see Godwin get his tenth identical catch and the defensive coordinator's attitude is presumably "sorry boys, I'm out of ideas". If Baker Mayfield is throwing a perfect game, then trying something else can hardly make it worse, can it.
