Yeah if we can't get down the penalties then something is wrong with the coaching... big time.

sure along with staying healthy, playing solid defense and limiting costly penalties and turnovers.

If we:
1) Stay healthy,
2) Play solid D,
3) limit penalties,
4) limit turnovers,

We can win the SB without a running game.
Easily.

So once again, screw the run. I'll take a top 5 D, and keep our top 5 O, limit turnovers, stay healthy, and enjoy a deep Playoff run that will hopefully result in a SB win.

That's asking a lot from Aaron. Also, Tom Brady is back and healthy. Let's talk in terms of making it to super bowl 🙂 That team is gonna be nasty. Seems like they add 2 or 3 additional pro bowlers every season.

It's so true man... The Patriots with Fred Taylor and Joey Galloway = SO NOT FAIR

A solid QB (doesn't even have to be great) and a #1 D wins a SB. Running game? Nice to have, but not necessary.

Compared to the 1st round, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th are later, yes. Ok. I'm fine using 2nd through 4th rounders to develop an O-line. What matters more to me is DEVELOPING one. Our last good O-line was together for years, intact. That is why it was so good. They have to work as a unit and be completely comfortable together.

So you disagree with a) the lack of top 1st round picks loading up our O-line, and b) the style of run offense.

I don't know what to tell you man. Everyone was happy about the switch to zone blocking when we were back doing the 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Now everyone wants the power blocking. It really strikes me as grass-is-greener syndrome. Grant had a VERY off year with a late start and he still had 1200 yards rushing, good enough for 9th in the league. Brandon Jackson averaged 5.5 YPC. And our O-line was nowhere near settled or "developed".

Bottom line is this, we have the type of running game that can be successful if Aaron is slinging it around the field successfully all day long. Sort of, the pass opens up the run. That is not a good running game.

As far as zone blocking or power blocking goes. We dont have the talent to run either system. If they want to go with a specific way, stick with it and get the horses up front to run it. Dont half ass it.

Back in the 90's we had a big line and did the straight up power blocking, when the year got late and the field was shitty we would run all over teams because of the line and our type of backs. We never had the breakaway speed back we had the power backs and we won with that.

BTW Zombie i think your pass happy teams and super bowls was blown out of the water because the defense was the main reason and most teams had a top running team.

Its just like golf you drive (passing) for show but putt (running) for dough. 😛

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I miss the Power O stuff. This 'agile' line gets blown all over the place. Blocking is about brute force, not finesse. At least, that's my take on it.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (1h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (1h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (2h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (3h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (14h) : don't care

Zero2Cool (19h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : 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
