- Basically have had two games with Hundley at QB and things haven't looked so good…Brett has accuracy problems but hopefully he can correct them. He's a good athlete and has a strong enough arm.
- Hopefully Morgan Burnett will be healthy enough to play Monday night vs the Lions (on 11.6.17). I agree with those that believe HHCD is very dependent on Burnett…but I also think HHCD is a better box player vs deep safety or single-high deep safety (i.e., centerfielder).
- Josh Jones…why haven't they used him to blitz off the edge much since his 2-sack game? I'm not saying all the time but I don't recall seeing it much recently…he has explosive speed…as does Kentrell Brice.
- 2nd half defense vs the Saints was brutal…but then again, they were facing Drew Brees and the Saints have a pretty good RB duo.
- I recently read a quote of some NFL personnel guy saying that Ty Montgomery is a fraud as a RB. I disagree with the assessment but I'm also a fan…I think Ty can play but I'm thinking he's best suited as a pass receiving RB and think he could be used with Aaron Jones (who looks really good after having two 100+ yard rushing games).
- Blake Martinez!...he's becoming a good ILB/MLB…and looks like he's able to play all 4 downs. He still scares me a little in pass defense but he's usually around the ball and has good awareness…excellent tackler.
- If the defense fails the rest of the season, will McCarthy fire Capers? That seems to be the #1 question / comment of fans out there… I think they can use more defensive talent but also think there's a serious communication / understanding of scheme (defensive play calls) issue(s).
- Basically two games behind the Vikings in the standings ATT…with one game remaining with them at Lambeau…which will be hard to overcome.
- I'm not optimistic AR12 will play again in the 2017 season.
- Probably means >.500 record
- Top 15 draft pick in 2018?
- They need at least one more pass rusher…but the more the merrier.
- When will they play Montravious Adams to see if he can offer some inside pass rush?
As of 10.30.17 the
Packers have 12 pending UFA + 9 R/ERFA:
- Of the 12 UFA, only Morgan Burnett, Davante Adams, Corey Linsley, and Davon House are starters.
- Linsley will cost considerably more than his rookie contract but arguably the number 1 priority resign. IMO, the positional importance on the OL goes LT is #1, then C is #2. but the other three cannot be slugs. Jahri Evans was a good FA acquisition and wouldn't be a bad option to resign in 2018.
- The amount of injury the Packers incurred at OT in 2017 was unprecedented for the Packers (at least that I can remember). Fortunately, Bak and Bulaga appear to be regaining their health for the 2nd half of 2017.
- Justin McCray appears to be a solid back-up OL that has starting potential which IMO is why Barclay was released from IR.
- How much $$$ will Davante Adams cost? Is he worth paying $10m/yr ave?
- Can/will they restructure/extend CM3, Jordy, and Cobb? If not, will they release any of them? IMO, 2017 is the last season we see Jordy, Cobb, and Adams together.
- Can Geronimo Allison become the 3rd WR to replace Cobb or Adams? I don't know…and I'm more intrigued by Michael Clark because he's 6'6/217 compared to G-Mo's 6'3/202
- The Packers have approximately $12.2m available cap space as of 10.30.17 that they'll carry-over into 2018.
- 13 drafts by Ted Thompson with his best being his first because of AR12. Nick Collins is arguably his 2nd best pick (or CM3).
- My biased draft grades:
- 2005 - A+
- 2006 - C
- 2007 - C-
- 2008 - B+
- 2009 - A-
- 2010 - B
- 2011 - C-
- 2012 - B-
- 2013 - B-
- 2014 - B
- 2015 - C
- 2016 - C
- 2017 - ?
