I wasn't aiming to give someone an excuse. I do believe he has had all off-season, all training camp, etc to master the switch. It's not like he's been doing OLB for 4 years and then on Thursday they told him Friday you're playing with hand in the dirt.

All I am saying is he's a guy who had one position, then another position as first two years. That will impact the learning curve to some degree. Maybe a lot, maybe not a lot. I'm just not going to panic ... yet.

NOT to derail this here, but Josh Myers is someone I'm panicking over. Eric Stokes. Hell, nearly that entire 2021 draft class was poo. And I'm starting to panic a bit about the 1st rounders in 2022 draft. I'm just not at panic stage over 2023 ... yet.

He is a bit of a bust considering where he was taken in the draft. I really hope to be proven wrong on this opinion.

Especially considering the plethora of All-Pro's that were still on the board at the time. The kid might as well start selling insurance now and bag his NFL career one game into his 2nd season. It's over.

Rashan Gary had three pressures in the first two games, and his 6% pressure rate is well below the 15.6% mark he had in 2023.

Lukas Van Ness is at 8%. But his number is still down from what he had in 2023 (9.89%), and he is just the fourth defensive end on the depth chart.

Looks like we have two OLB's that moved to DE that aren't really cutting it after two games. Hafley sucks. #FireHafley

The first two games had mobile QBs. It looks like the game plan was to contain Hurts and Richardson. They did a pretty good job of stopping them from getting out and running. Let's see what happens this week against Levis.

Levis has a set of wheels too. He's only lacking a driver!

Our D should get 2 take aways at minimum.

Zero2Cool (28m) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (29m) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (36m) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (38m) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (47m) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (47m) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (48m) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (58m) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (59m) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (1h) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (1h) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2h) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2h) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (6h) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (10h) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (10h) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (18h) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (18h) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (20h) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (22h) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one

beast (29-Dec) : Still early, but Giants 14 to 3 over Colts
