@Pckfn23 maybe take a step back from the argument with yoop and do something productive (like a dynasty draft pick) :P
I am researching! I think I have it nailed down but not sure. But hey, when the village ... Brings it, time to bring it back!
Stop it. Don’t take my guy.
I am pretty sure that wasn't your guy. Something tells me you are going after a WR!

No. You know I love my TE's.

With Jones and Dillon in the backfield and a good big Oline, a TE is more valuable than a WR.

In 2021 Il take someone who can stretch the field and keep 8 guys out of the box please. This isn’t 1984.

I would agree. Here’s to hoping for more consistency out of MVS. He is the biggest X-factor on the offense. I kind of think he is what he is at this point. Receivers don’t typically just get better hands as their career progresses.

it's not so much about who or how many are in the box as much as where they are in it, the 2 TE sets with motion pull defenders and freeze them so our RB's have less traffic to run through on the other side.

I think MVS did enough damage deep last year that defenses will have to take his ability serious, and along with Lazard, Funchess, and obviously Adams wont be able to stuff the box, plus Amari this could easily be the most potent offense in the league again, in fact I expect it to be.

and if Barry has this defense clicking our #6 rating will become a joke.

What happens in the box is also affected by who the 2021 starting qb will be

article on Mason Crosby's prowess as a kicker... super impressive since his Detroit Debacle.

https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/news/20- ... amp-crosby

"Even with the nightmare at Detroit included, Crosby still ranks sixth in the NFL in field-goal percentage (minimum 50 attempts) the past three regular seasons. Eliminate that one blip on the radar, Crosby’s 93.1 percent success rate trails only Josh Lambo (95.0 percent; 57-of-60).
Lambo kicks in balmy Jacksonville; Crosby kicks in not-so-balmy Green Bay.

With 1,682 points, Crosby has averaged 120 points per season. With merely 77 points in 2021, he’ll move all the way to 14th on the all-time scoring list. Only seven players in NFL history have scored 2,000 points. Crosby could reach that threshold if he plays three more seasons."

Crosby has been money. He always had the leg; it's good to see him really sharpen his accuracy. You love to see crafty vets refine their game. :)

He also helped hasten the fall of McCarthy by losing the Cardinals game for us, so kudos to him for that. :banana:

Did y’all see Aaron Jones raced Tyreek Hill?

Obviously, Hill won as Jones isn’t considered a burner.

But it’s insane that in what looks like a 25-year race, based on my count of the stripes they pass over, Hill won by 2.5 - 4 yards. That is an insane amount of separation over a short period of time.

Nice! Hill definitely won but really hard to say how much because they are pulling up trying to high five people over the last 10 yards.

Packers’ brass doing joint practices to stick it to Aaron?
Theyve been doing joint practices for years. This has nothing to do with Rodgers.
C’mon lupe, we should be past this part our relationship. Just known Aaron didn’t like them 2 years ago. Just lobbing soft balls for the haters.

But either way, they haven’t been doing them for years. 2019 and can’t remember the last time.
Back in the 1990s 4 teams had training camps in different campuses in Wisconsin and they scrimmaged against the others. I believe they called it the Cheese League...?

thanks for the clarity, I've defended Crosby a lot, sure he's had some blips and he is a bit costly, but he also wins games, and winning isn't cheap.

Oh fascinating. How many did KGB have? He was the previous leader, right? Or had someone passed him?

from Bill Huber

Last season, Valdes-Scantling led the NFL with 20.9 yards per reception, more than 2 yards better than runner-up Nelson Agholor of Las Vegas. The last Packers player to lead the NFL in that category? James Lofton, an Olympic-class long jumper, in 1984.

In fact, Valdes-Scantling’s 20.9-yard average was the best mark in the NFL over the past decade.
