I haven't focused in quite as much on Raji this season as it sounds like some others have. However, it really makes one wonder why Raji continues to see the field so much if he is truly playing as bad as some say he is. Where is the accountability? If the guy is truly playing so badly, why is he on the field so much? I don't get it.

I do feel that they are playing him badly out of position at end.

Count me among those who will be pissed if Raji gets a big contract. Especially if it means Pickett and/or Jolly are gone.

I've been a HUGE Pickett fan, he's been the glue that has the run DL together IMO, he hasn't offered much in pass rush but Pickett is that guy that's been consistant year in and year out and done the role of clogging the OL with passion and has been great for us.

That being said, seems like I'm noting Pickett less this year. Of course that could mean I'm focusing on the DL less, as run cloggers don't jump out at you. But I would be careful resigning Pickett to make sure it was a deal the Packers could easy get out of if Pickett play level drops from what it has been in the past.



As for as Raji, I don't think he has a passion for being a role player (aka doesn't have a passion for being a run clogger), and think Raji would of been better in an agressive 4-3 defense. Coming out of college Raji was a penetrator and LOVED it, and he was basically Jenkins in college making plays, while Ron Brace was their NT. But Raji didn't have the length to stay at 3-4 DE in the Packers agressive 3-4 style. Packers moved him to NT and it worked for a while including winning a Super Bowl.

But then the Packers defense lost their pass rush and MM/Capers decised to go to more of a traditional 3-4 defense (which is less agressive with their 3-4 DE) and so Raji got to pass rush even less and just haven't been the same, even in the 2-4 where Raji is allowed to be a 4-2 pass rushing DTs.


Jolly, the guy has a lot of passion and I think he clearly has another year in him, but because of his age, like Pickett, I'd be careful and not sign him (or Pickett) to a deal that would be hard to get out, because olders guys could go down quickly.

I like Pickett a lot, but to me it seems we are losing more in Raji with him at DE, than we gain with Pickett at NT.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
