So Jimmy Graham is a wr?

The only problem with that is The Packers ask their Wr's to block for each other.

Something Graham has no idea how to do.

Yes the Packers ask their WRs to block, but they ask their TEs to block a LOT more... so asking Graham to block less might be a good thing.

And Graham sucks at blocking for a TE, but that doesn't mean he'd suck as a WR.

I remember a game where Graham's blocking gave Woodson hell trying to get off his blocks, because of Graham's freaking long arms, gave him time to reset whenever Woodson knocked his hands away... so Woodson had to knock his hands down twice (instead of the normal once) to get past him. Of course that was just one game. But Graham struggles blocking against power... he's won with length.

What does it matter what their number is? All our WRs have to cross train with all positions. We've got competition at this group. Let's see how it shakes out. Numbers are dumb. Fantasy football crap.

I continue to be concerned over the lack of depth at tight end and their relative inability to block bigger guys in short yardage situations.

Aaron needs to hit the open guy.

We’ve got some big, fast guys in the pipeline if he wants to get some YAC. But he’s not gettig any younger. Sitting in the pocket for 8+ is not conducive to a long NFL career.

That’s Brady’s REAL secret.

Hopefully the new guys will help end that.

Not convinced about the no separation storyline

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I feel very strongly both ways. :-(

I think it’s more than fair to say we haven’t gotten much separation of late. The best example of this was against the Denver Broncos at Denver. The exposed our offense and two of us or extend our receivers as not being able to get separation.
But I think it’s equally fair to say that we’ve gotten away from the traditional West Coast offense ripe with slants, rubs, and picks etc. Hopefully, with the rexamination and reimplementation up some of the west coast basics, our guys will be able to get some separation.

You've got to get quick separation in this league or pray for a defensive breakdown or free play. Separation is absolutely important.

Zero2Cool (9h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (13h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (13h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (14h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (14h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (14h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (14h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (14h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (14h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (14h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (14h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (14h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (15h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (15h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (17h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (17h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (17h) : 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

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
