To be considered an OLB, you need to be able to shift your hips and run with the backs and tight ends. This guy can't do that so he is actually 4-3 defensive end. I don't understand your confusion.

Not that he's good at coverage but he really hasn't been a major problem with it when he's played simply because it's not that common for him to have to cover somebody. Julius peppers can turn and run with backs and TE but he rarely has to. Shea McClellan is still available I think, maybe we should pay him 5m lol

We play some kind of hybrid because we have a lot of square pegs in round holes and it is disingenuous to call the defense the Packers play a 3-4.

I put that at least partly on Capers though. He's the one who wants these tweeners.

But I agree, we need TWO bookends now. Clay's getting older, not even sure he still has it anymore.

A 3-4 OLB is an edge rusher, being able to cover is a plus but not a deal breaker. All they are usually covering is short stuff to the flats or in the backfield. Any 3-4 D would take someone who can play the run and rush the passer but can't cover over someone who can cover but isn't as good at anything else. Nick Perry plays on the edge in a 2 point stance so he's an OLB, not that there's a big difference either way.

This teams personnel has changed a lot over the years with various different strengths and weaknesses yet Dom has always found a way to use his 2-4-5 and other packages with extra secondary players over 70% of the time. I don't think that's going to change much no matter what players we have.

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.
