I am pissed my name wasn't said lol, I am pretty much the most objective poster on here, I find the faults of the team but yet others call them strengths.


Hey Rock are really considering Blackmon a CB, hell he is the farthest thing from it. He is on the team to return kicks and that's all, he wasn,t even a very good CB in college.

It's funny how people say we need to replace Bigby because he sucks in coverage and I even seen people saying Williams is a better nickel back than a starting CB.

I guess i was dreaming when the Steelers, Cards and hell even the old man spread us out and we got torched, you don't think more teams will do that?

In all honesty I believe our defense was over rated last year because of who we played, If i remember correctly we played 6 games against a teams backup qb. That would help alot of teams defensive stats.

That is very true. Vikings are the crowning division champs until knocked off. I feel we will win and the order I posted, that's the order I think it'll finish in.
Talent wise...
Vikings
Packers
Bears
Lions

I think the Lions will do more than the Bears, with less talent.

That's why I pay him the big bucks.


PS, Matt, don't come knocking for a paycheck, lmao.

Yeah Tramon probably is better at nickel than starter. That doesn't mean that he's not really good. Atari wasn't good in coverage, and we need to fix that.



I'm not sure how many teams can play well against Warner and Favre even if just one of their cornerbacks are missing. I'll give you the Steelers game, that was super-ugly, but we all agree we need to improve our secondary.



We played:
1) Boller (who played a lot better than the "starter" Bulger)
2) Culpepper once
3) Leinart in the final week

Where are the 6 teams? And I do not count players who won their starting role during the season backups.

Also, Blackmon has played well as a dime-back before he was injured, so calling him "not a cornerback" is uncalled for.

No matter how you look at it, Blackmon is a better choice back there at nickel/dime than bush!

I think your overall lack of unbiased viewpoints hurt your argument.

Anything that Thompson has touched in your eyes has a brown stain to it. 😉

You're right. Blackmon wasn't that great a player in college. A whole lot of draft picks aren't. Cullen Jenkins wasn't a great player at in college. Jermichael Finley was a huge underachiever with great upside.

I think that those two are quite comprable. Finley and Blackmon. They're boom or bust types of guys. Someone who hasn't had the production to go in the 1st round, but does have all the physical attributes to become a great player. They have a very high ceiling and very low floor.

It worked out better with Finley than with Blackmon.

But still, Blackmon is good enough to be your dime CB. He could even slide in at nickel and be acceptable. Bush shouldn't be on the field.

It's pretty understandable that when you lose a starter, your dime CB and your 5th stringer, you're going to suffer. That bumps your 6th stringer into a nickel role. I can tell you know that there isn't a single team that can take those injuries and still field good CBs against a spread offense.

I do agree with you that we made it really easy for them, but that's not because of our DBs, that's because of our pass rush. Look at that Vikings defense and how much they approved against the pass when they traded for Jared Allen. They have some very mediocre safeties, a good, young cover corner in Griffen and an all-around guy who's great in run support, but overrated in coverage in Winfield. Yet, they field quite a good pass defense because of the pressure they put on the QB.

Mark my words, if we can get a good DE/OLB and can get pressure on the QB, Bigby will be a hero in GB again.

If he can stay healthy.

I think after the draft, Detroit will close the talent gap with Chicago. In the end it comes down to QBs though. If Stafford out plays Cutler, Detroit will emerge as a better team. That's how I see it.

---

That's not really fair, lol. Does Chicago even participate in the draft?? lol

---

That's part of the reason and no they don't pick until the third round. That's their fault though and some bad luck mixed in. Gaines Adams' passing of course.
