If Matthews is paired with Barrington inside, the Packers are strong there. For that to work, though, somebody has to step up at OLB paired with Peppers - Elliot, Mulumba, Perry, Hubbard, Neal - in order of likelihood IMO.

The Secondary is the strongest position group on the D side. I see Randall eventually beating out Hayward to start opposite Shields. Hayward will probably keep the Nickel spot. I could see as many as 11 DBs kept.

It's too soon to say who is not impressing, but I have low expectations for most of the D Line, Neal and maybe Perry at OLB, Bradford and maybe Ryan at ILB, and Richardson at DB.

More than anything else, I still like Capers' ability to compensate for personnel weaknesses. I also like the probable upgrade in athleticism, especially if Matthews plays mostly inside.

Will the 2015 Defense be putting pressure on opposing QB's ?
Who do you expect to see getting the most sacks ?
Who do you expect to see get the most picks ?
Can this Defense stop good running attacks ?
Who will be the play caller on Defense and why ?

The D is a huge question mark in my mind. We obviously have issues up front, but I'm a bit more concerned about our DBs. Ted either struck out or hit a triple this offseason - Time will tell how things stay together.

Young guys really need to step up. Hopefully the motivation to take over a starting job will help.

The key on the Dline is getting to the QB, penetrating and disrupting. They don't care about the run game.

I think we'll be fine at ILB, but I'd still like to see some quality OLB play. Sounds like Mulumba wants to make the team. Clay has to prove he's still got it. Peppers and Perry need pitch counts.

The secondary is the strength of the D.

I would say that the S position may be the best and deepest it's been in years.

Right now, I am confident in the DB. But the depth is not what I would prefer.

Sacks: I'll still go with Peppers - that's like betting on the favorite in a horse race. Elliot is my dark horse, though.

Picks: Tough one; I'll go with Clinton-Dix to have a big year now that he is completely settled in. Randall will be up there too, though. I picked him to start, and the opponents will test him - I think he makes those opponents pay.

Stopping good running attacks: mostly yes if they keep Clay inside. The best anti-running attack mechanism for the Packers is Aaron Rodgers passing the opponents into oblivion, forcing them to abandon the run/pass to stay close.

D Play Caller: Does it have to be an ILB? I don't think so. Barrington is a possibility, but I'll go with Morgan Burnett.

Raji will have an outstanding year...he's dedicating it to TPB!!!
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?
Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (15h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (19h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (19h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (20h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (20h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (20h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (20h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (21h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (21h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (21h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (21h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (21h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (21h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (21h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (21h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (21h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (23h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (23h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (23h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
