GREEN BAY, Wis. – For Daylon Mack, maybe the fourth time will be the charm.

Certainly, the Green Bay Packers hope so.

The Packers are signing the massive defensive tackle, a source told Packer Central on Thursday morning. The transaction was first reported late Wednesday by ESPN.com’s Rob Demovsky. He arrived in Green Bay on Monday, went through two days of COVID-19 testing and worked out Wednesday.

Defensive line might be the weakest position group on the team. General manager Brian Gutekunst neither drafted one nor signed one in free agency, leaving the team with the same quintet that wasn’t good enough last season. Moreover, while disappointing Montravius Adams returned to practice in limited fashion on Wednesday, his toe injury leaves him iffy for Sunday’s season-opening game at the run-first Minnesota Vikings.

The Gravedigger 4.0 (he's too big to be 2.0 and they have tried several other big boys over the years in that capacity.) or at least I hope so.

Was really hoping to get Snacks! He's the run stopper we need this season. But excited to see what this big body can do.

Well....if he ends up being anything like Gilbert Brown, it will be a big improvement over our run D last year.

As for Mack, I'm surprised, as he seemed to have almost no interest, I wonder if we could.have signed him to the practice squad instead. I'm not sure he's going to last on the 53 once we get Martin back, if everyone stays healthy. Either him or Adams, and they seem to like Adams potential, though they could be given up on him soon.

Adams and “potential”. I don’t know how much longer you give a guy to actually live up to that potential.
He really hasn’t done anything in my opinion to give him anymore chances to prove himself.

If he has talent, but can’t help this defense because he’s not smart enough, maybe they should let him go and use the roster spot for a guy that can actually help the team.

FYI, the coach just talked about how he's talented gave great effort and suggest they they coaches just need to make sure he knows what his assignments is or something.

From there, I took the rest, as he should know his his assignments... which implies to me, that he's not the sharpest football wise, of knowing how to play different things that get thrown at him.

Problem is, if you can figure out how to get that talent out of him, you want him around, so they're still trying as long as he's on the cheap contract.
