Mike Tgrovac- Defensive Line Coach

If you haven't read up on this guy and what he has done it's awesome that he is here to help in the area we need it the most.

A good article with what he has done is on Packer Chatter but unfortunately my cut and paste ability is well, it doesn't exist.

The first thing that jumped out was that in his first year as DLC with Washington they lead the league in sacks with 48. I didn't realize either that he had been with GB back when McCarthy was here.

This guy is credited with helping develope a bunch of All Pro DLinemen in his career and took what would be considered a step down when Mike McCarthy called and he took the job.

This bodes well for Raji and even Harrell if they can keep him on the field.

This is like "if you could pick somebody to come in and fix the D-line who would it be" and then there he is.

They don't talk about him because he has THREE consonants at the start of his last name.

They don't know how to talk about him because they don't know how to pronounce his name!

Wow. I thought someone was posting on my account. I didn't mean anything with my post in the other thread, but I'm glad that you like my avatar.

One of the reasons that he's not talked about is because he has been solid. And it's a low key job ofcourse. There's not a whole lot to complain about and he's not in a position to get a lot of praise.

How small do these damn things have to be anyway? lol

dfosterf (23h) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Against tbd
dfosterf (27-Mar) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga

Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Ugh... kids these days!
dfosterf (27-Mar) : I'm gonna go do some more mock draft hell instead 🤪

dfosterf (27-Mar) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.

buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Shouldn't be penalized cuz official screwed up
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
