Green Lightning

This is a great question. To my mind, the only player on our roster worth a #1 pick is Dareus and he's not for sale. Who would other teams covet? CJ, FJ, Stevie, Wood, KW, Levetre and if he wasn't injured for part of last year, Aaron Williams. What they are worth now is a good question.

Precisely my point, but it doesn't stop multiple posts advocating just that.

Uh oh, I feel another "let's trade Fred Jackson for a number one pick and use it to get...." post coming.

Ice Bowl. Get some D help this offseason and you're back in the SB. Damn, we're not close to your zip code. Thanks for stopping by though.

Yeah, the Giants didn't have anything to do with it. And the fact that Rodgers was GB's leading rusher....all part of the gameplan. The Pack should really concentrate on offense next season.

Nice work by the OP. I like his conclusion as well. I'd take an Eli Manning over a Peyton Manning if I had the Gmen's D and not the Indy D. Tough D wins the the day. Rodgers and Brees are heading home after getting a faceful of good defenses. I wouldn't be surprised if Brady joins them next week.

The Jints took a gamble on JPP ... but even at the time it looked better than our Maybin pick. If the Gmen are the kind of 4-3 that Wanny would build ...bring it on.

So how's that "offense is the new reality of the NFL" theory working for you now? Maybe the Pack and Saints need to draft more offense.

A wild rant but from JohnnyGold but I'm with you JG. Despite having a "genius coach" and the. "best QB ever" the Pats haven't been to the SB in years. Stop thinking they are gods and build a pass rush. The Giants SB win proved the omnipotent Brady looked pretty average on his *ss.

This. Like it or not this is where we are. Let's get on with filling the gaping holes we have before getting an uber TE.

Good point. I think Carrington does have it in him and maybe a LDE in a 4-3 is a fit. I would be concerned about lateral speed, but he's young and strong with long arms. Let's see.

Maybe, but all we have for 4-3 DEs is Kelsey maybe Batten and Moats. That ain't gonna get it done.

Carrington is a DE in a 3-4, a 5 technique if you will. He's a DT in a 4-3. Even if he "slims down" to 285, he's still 20+ pounds heavier than a 4-3 DE. Short story, we have enough good DTs if in fact Wanny goes 4-3. We need some speed h DEs in the 260 range. Think Freeney.

I found it interesting his statement that 3-4 guru Wade Phillips used 4 down lineman 50% of the time against the Bengals last week. Seemed to me he's saying the scheme doesn't matter, playmakers do. Well Buddy, go get some!

The Broncs gotta gift by making the playoffs in the first place. Then they got a bigger gift yet from Pig Ben who played the worst game he's ever played, albeit on just one leg.

Why would you begrudge a long suffering Lions fan of his joy in making the playoffs? Relax homer...it's not an attack on the Bills because another historically bad team makes the playoffs. It should give us hope.

I think this is a fair statement. RW has always hated to pay for top coaches and FO personnel. It's been my major beef with him.

I have to agree with this. At least some thought came out of this otherwise unremarkable original post.

From the mouth of babes....a injured rook calls out the big boys

Scott Norwood and Carlester Crumpler. Really doesn't matter what was. I mean you can spend you life looking forward or backwards. We just had 12 crappy football seasons and I really don't care to assign blame to any one person. Ralphie coughed up the bucks when asked and the management got us Dockery and Langston freakin' Walker. There's plenty of blame to go around and frankly I don't give a damn. What's coming is all I care about.

Jesus Beavis, calm the Hell down! What do you want the guy to do, have spasms and shout? He's doing and saying the right things.

The diff is we were paying him millions while the jets gave him minimum. He wasn't and still isn't worth it.
