What has he done for the team lately? Seems like he's spending more time on the sidelines.

Daniels is playing much better, but perhaps all the other defensive linemen are equally as bad as Raji. Losing Jolly really stings, at this point. Even though he was wearing down, at least he played with energy and intensity.

I really wish Datone Jones would step up and keep Raji off the field in most sub-packages.

Dline is as big a problem as safety in my opinion. We just don't have the horses to get it done. There's a reason Raji wasn't given a contract this last offseason, but instead of working his ass off - he seems to have taken the opposite approach and became a turd instead. The only contract I want to see him sign in GB is an incentive based contract. The Packers probably did him a disservice with the kind of defense we play. Raji has the talent to be a dominant defensive tackle, but in a 4-3 not as a space eater in a 3-4.

Casey Hampton was an awesome 3-4 NT, but he had the mental makeup to play the position - meaning humility and being a team player. Raji does not, and the Packers would be well served to just let him walk in free agency this season, in my opinion anyway.

The Packers are simply a worse team with Raji on the field. Ditto that for Pickett. Having those two big lard balls does NOT stop the run. We are better against both the run and the pass with a smaller rotation.

Next season, GET RID of both Raji and Pickett, please. Daniels should be the NT - a Jay Ratliff type player. Move Neal back to DE, use Worthy, use Datone Jones a lot, get Jolly in the rotation, and if we need bulk, keep Boyd around. With that, our D Line would rise to the level of average - about the best we can hope for in the short term, and good enough if we get a decent Safety and some LB improvement.

But GET RID OF RAJI!

To that end, it would be nice to get a true OLB not a transition player.

Perry and Neal are both 4-3 DE's being forced to play OLB. When are we ever going to learn this lesson? Wouldn't it be easier to just move back to a 4-3 and let Matthews line up all over the defense then to keep up this charade of playing a 3-4, because we really suck at it?

Much of the dline problems has been the ineffectiveness and missing time of Clay. When Clay is 100%, he normally gets blocked by the LT, and sometimes chipped by a RB or TE. Since he came back, defenses were blocking him quite often with just a TE. Perry and Neal have not demanded a double on the otherside so defenses have been matching up 4 on 3 or 4 on 2. When Matthews was getting the LT attention, it was 3 on 3 or 3 on 2.

The solution is to get rid of our lard asses, like my esteemed co-poster Texas points out. Those guys are being paid to eat up blockers not blocker.

beast (8h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (8h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (18h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (18h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (20h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

wpr (22h) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

Martha Careful (23h) : just kidding...it was down
Martha Careful (23h) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor
dfosterf (23h) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious
beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.
beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.
beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...
beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.
