I think the biggest upgrade the Packers need is overall team speed. Nowhere does it show more than on special teams.go pak go wrote: ↑09 Feb 2021 11:18Yeah. I look at our defense and I see at least CB, DL and ILB/Safety as places for upgrade.Scott4Pack wrote: ↑09 Feb 2021 10:1523, thanks for posting that article. I went “all in” and read it!
Seriously, it all makes sense. Unfortunately, it also means that our D needs infusion at three levels. Our CB group needs help for Jaire, for sure. Is Sullivan still improving? I don’t know. But I’d favor finding TWO new CBs. And the hard to find ILB is a must. I like our young guys there, but let’s find a FA there.
I also wonder what Barry will do differently. Surely, he had that conversation with MLF.
Add that with a OT and an offensive playmaker and that starts to become a number of needs.
Looking back on this past season, can you or anybody else recall when the Pack blasted a return man on a punt before he had a chance to make a move, I can't.
I can count on one hand the number of times the Pack stopped a kickoff return inside the 20.
I'm not saying pass up a solid OLine prospect, they need that if there's one available. Same goes for CB, but he better be faster than the guys they already have.
Same for WR. If they draft a WR, he better be as fast as MVS or what's the point? This team has plenty of players who run the same, they need something more than that.
Heard the Packers have 10 picks in this years draft. I expect Gutey make a trade or two, so maybe they end up with 8 overall. 4 of those 8 picks better have speed to make a difference.

We need to decide what to do with Funchus, basically hasn't played for two seasons, but a relatively cheap vet, need to find out what kind of football shapes he's in.

'Not sure what Funchess really brings to the table that we do not already have better versions of on the roster, but I may prefer him to St. Brown at this point. I do kinda wanna give EQ a chance to redeem himself but will not shed any tears if they decide to just pull the plug on that experiment.

Like who the hell thinks they have the street cred to smack talk to a flipping professional athlete to their face on twitter?!
Like what the hell.
Like what the hell.
someone with PFR or someone else that keeps relevent stats, versus the ones that only promote the player.
the coaches thought they had a good prospect with Sullivan in 019, found out in 020 there search continues I'am afraid
gave up 38 receptions on 56 targets, ouch, QB completion ratio 67.9 % for 440 yrds, and 2 TD's with QB rating of 95, he was better in 019.

Yes, if he is still under contract we should bring him back in 2021. He wasn't bad in Carolina and is still kinda young. Plus he won't cost an arm and a leg. Another vet presence in that WR room wouldn't hurt.Yoop wrote: ↑18 Feb 2021 13:51We need to decide what to do with Funchus, basically hasn't played for two seasons, but a relatively cheap vet, need to find out what kind of football shapes he's in.

I don't see how they can afford him. He is not big, not fast and does not have good hands 3 big strikes. Plus Lazard, MVS and St. Brown are all vets now.Pugger wrote: ↑21 Feb 2021 07:40Yes, if he is still under contract we should bring him back in 2021.

We have Lazard and TEs. We don't need Funchess and I doubt he'd make the roster out of camp.

Net cost is $1.365 mil, and that wouldn't be committed until the season starts, right?TheSkeptic wrote: ↑21 Feb 2021 10:27I don't see how they can afford him. He is not big, not fast and does not have good hands 3 big strikes. Plus Lazard, MVS and St. Brown are all vets now.
