GREEN BAY PACKERS

Green Bay Packers. Lets talk.........................

Size doesn't really matter all that much in an end or OLB when you are in a nickel most of the game.  I say that, but if someone is light, like 250 light, they need to have a great anchor to turn outside plays inside.  Sorrell has that.  I'll bet that Sorrell is around 260-265 by now and he had great strength even as a rookie.    Dig that kid.  He is not going to scream the corner and bend, but he's country strong and actually gives effort, unlike Gary.

Oliver is the light one with no real anchor.  Pass rush specialist as an EDGE.  

DDS is the one who will have the whole package next year.  6'5'' 255 coming out.  He's probably 260 now, and next year, he will likely be in that 270 range.  He's got the size to put on that strength with a good off season program.  He only slips to the 4'th round because of a loaded EDGE class.  I don't feel like he was really in play for our second round pick, but I'll bet he was high on our list for the 3'rd and we were thrilled to grab him in the 4'th.  You don't get guys with that size, that RAS and that kind of collegiate production that far down in the draft too often.

LVN would be an end.  That's the easy one.  Then either Hargrave or Wyatt.  The other one would be nose.  Backed up by Stackhouse.
But again, we are talking 3/4, and Gannon likes the 4/3 front for base. 

The more interesting thing to me will be goalline/short yardage defense. 

Saw where Gannon was running some camp stuff that had a lot of blitzes going on, specifically with Coop, which was great to see.  Even saw a clip where Coop was rushing from a pure EDGE position.

Just a few clips of OTA stuff out there, but Cisse is hands down our most athletic CB.  It isn't even close.
Burton running with the 1's, while Belton moves to RT to cover for a rehabbing Tom.  

My prediction is that it is going to be hard to keep Burton off the field.  He's going to take snaps from Banks or Rhyan.  ​

so you are saying you want a couple of 250 pounders playing end??

I’m hoping Sorrell makes a jump this year after being student of Parsons. If Sorrell and DDS can both ”Bring It”, maybe we can hold of the enemy until #1’s return. 
Im excited about Cooper and Franklin working together. Cooper will probably be better without a Green Dot on his helmet? 
Sweat would help out quite a bit also. Go Pack! It’s a long road for your Soul, to get to the Super Bowl! 🏈⚡️💥

DDS?    Couldn’t find him on the roster 

so who would be your ends off the current roster vegas??

Parsons not slated to return until Mid-October. Other boys better step it up.

To me?  We are in base between 5-9% of the time.  You can make any body type work.
In regards to LVN?  If this year goes like last year, he's going to get plenty of looks at IDL.  Hand in the dirt.  Passing downs.
If I'm sitting in a 3/4, I want my two OLB's to be about 250-255 pounds.  I want my two DE's to be about 275-285.  I want my NT to be 330.
But again, we are in that so rarely that it doesn't much matter.

Very excited about DDS.  So excited that I'm already prepared to be disappointed in how the coaching staff uses him.
Also disappointed that Oliver started the OTA's in the rehab unit.  That kid has great bend and take off.

Don't think you want your 3/4 base end playing at 6-3 250 you want someone 6-5 270+ who can hold up against the run. only lvn has the right size unles you want to include a couple of the dts

NFL is likely investigating as well as the authorities.  I take it as a good sign that he's out there working.  I feel like there's a lot to that story that we are not being told about right now.  Gotta figure there are a lot of cameras in that neighborhood and from the little I read, it sounds like Jacobs' attorney's have a lot of film showing what really happened.

And let's hope it leads to a good result for Jacobs, just from a football point of view.  The last thing we want to do is rely on Lloyd.  He was already kept out of an OTA for "precautionary" reasons.  Doesn't help that Martinez was rehabbing as well.  ​

Apparently Josh Jacobs was practicing with team at OTA’s? He is still under investigation though. So don’t know what is going to happen? 

Doesn't much matter, base 4/3 or 3/4.  We have been and will continue to be in nickel for most of the game.
That being said, Gannon prefers the 4-3 and that kind of body.  He also loves versatility which is why they re-upped LVN as he can play DL, DE and EDGE.  And they drafted McClellin as he can play anywhere on the line effectively with his body type.  Even Hargrave can play either IDL spots effectively.

Philly will probably be pretty heavy on Sweat.  They were in on the Garrett talks.

Geriatrics come in to kill drives, as they know how to rise to the occasion.  Kids take the other reps.
Geriatrics take one year deals and do not stunt young growth, they add to it with experience.

If it's third or fourth and long in the fourth quarter, sign me up for Parsons, Miller/Jordan/Bosa, Wyatt and LVN rushing.  One gets doubled (Micah).  All others are 1:1.  I like them odds.
