Kentrell Brice has rare speed (4.44 in 40) for a Safety and a knack for the big hit. Do you feel comfortable with Brice filling in for Morgan Burnett?

I went on You Tube yesterday and watched the full game , GB @ Dallas. I was impressed with Kentrell Brice. It did not appear that he had been able to practice and learn/get in sync. with the GB Defense, yet he displayed good closing speed and tackled physically. He may contribute more against Atlanta where the GB Secondary will be severely tested. I wish him and the Packer's D the best of luck.

Not a Burnett fan but would rather have him vs. Atlanta. Brice has a high ceiling but he's barely off his floor right now.

His closing speed and willingness to initiate contact is among the best you'll ever see in combination. Polamalu played like that.

Perhaps, his speed will help vs. a very fast Falcons receiving corps. Brice on the field puts your head on a swivel because he's going to deck you. Maybe, he gets in their heads a bit. There aren't many guys like Brice out there and certainly not in that weak division Atlanta plays in as far as secondaries go.

Would prefer Morgan but am okay with our headhunter out there.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Has anyone heard rumors about Burnett's injury? It was the 2nd question in MM's presser yesterday and it seemed to catch him off guard, he was really bumbling through the question. Made me think it was something somewhat serious but he didn't know how to sugar coat it like with Jordy last week to make ATL think he might play.

No. Burnett is a better player. Brice is pretty good for an UDFA. He is has a long way to go and a lot to learn.

The two major instances that stood out in the Dallas game were the dropped interception and a run by Zek where Brice didn't set the edge, something Morgan does like a LB.

Thanks to pack93z for the sig!!!

I really don't like Morgan Burnett, I think he would be a backup in most teams in the NFL.
So if he can't go then Brice is fine to me, the kid has lapses but he plays with heart and hits hard.

I understand that Burnett does many "invisible" things and is allegedly a key part of our defense, but the truth is that the defense is not really stellar with him, he rarely makes an impact play and HaHa is playing bad because of him.

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired

beast (30-Jan) : I wonder what's taking so long with hiring a DL coach, 2 of the 3 known to interview have already been hired elsewhere.

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Packers coach Matt LaFleur hires Luke Getsy as senior assistant, extends Rich Bisaccia's deal

Zero2Cool (27-Jan) : Chiefs again huh? I guess another Super Bowl I'll be finding something else to do.

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Exactly buck...Washington came up with the ball. It is just a shitty coincidence one week later

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : I forgot, they corrected the call a week later. Lol btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY dhazer!

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : That brings up the question, why wasn't Nixon down by contact? I think that was the point Kanata was making.

buckeyepackfan (26-Jan) : Turnovers rule, win the turnover battle, win the game.

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : well, he was

TheKanataThrilla (26-Jan) : Eagles down by contact on the fumble....fuck you NFL

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : I think this games over

beast (26-Jan) : Eagles sure get a lot of fumbles on kickoffs

Mucky Tundra (26-Jan) : This game looks too big for Washington

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : that being said, The Ravens are the Browns

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : Browns, Dolphins have longest AFC Championship droughts

packerfanoutwest (26-Jan) : As of today, Cowboys have longest NFC Championship drought,

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (25-Jan) : Any reason I'm catching a shot here about my intelligence?

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (25-Jan) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (24-Jan) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
