I freaking love the 3-4. It's just my kind of defense. That said, we've gotten out asses kicked by injuries and need more talent up-front. We can make this work though.

Problem is if you are given a perfectly good peg it's better to carve out a space for it to fit then to try jamming it into one it's not meant for or favoring a shitty peg that does fit. There aren't enough good pegs out there to get too picky about it.

And maybe that's why Matthews is getting hurt more and as people have said, playing worse... because he's an 3-4 OLB playing 4-2 DE.

Fans have complained about defense 4-3 players. .. but there is a reason... because the Packers are a 4-2 team.

That's on Dom, though. He WANTS those guys, so he can shift them around without substituting.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53
Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before
beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season
beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)
Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing
