Don Otreply Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 We need new blood at WR next season, sadly our 1 & 2 are Imo playing hurt, and it shows, fingers crossed Diggs and Davis are healed up enough to be effective for the Miami game, we are gonna need all our guys making plays next week!!!

loyal2dagame Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Douglas is this team's Bennett 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrivefourfive Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Douglas is absolutely a key to the Corvette and a difference maker. This defense is so much better than the unit playing in the Snow against Cincinnati last season. I don’t know if within a month, Milano can get back to participating in anyway (that’d be inspirational for this club), but Douglas is far better than what Tre would’ve been at this point. Bernard is far better than Edmunds. Benford better than last year. We love Taron when he’s not covering a speedster’s go routes. Oliver is a BEAST. DJ92 is BACK! l like our personnel on defense. 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseyBills Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 This dude is phenomenal. What a trade. Responsible for 3 t.os and 7 points!

billsfan714 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I sure as heck was wrong about this guy, wasnt thrilled with giving up a 3rd, because I havent liked Beane trading away 4ths in the first round, but again I was way wrong on this one. Guy is a baller and we havent missed Tre one bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Both Douglas and Joseph have been excellent trades. Now we have Jones back which basically puts Ford, and Settle on the bench. We’ve gone from this on the line to fantastic depth. Ford and Settle could start for half the teams in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph came in as a free agent, not via a trade. But agree about the DT depth. Also, Eli Ankou is a quality player, and Phillips might be back if they go deep in the playoffs. A shame about Von Miller; if he were healthy, this would be the best DL in the league. Edited January 2 by finn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: After further discussion with them, they are putting most of the blame on their DC...but they are still very happy to get a 3rd. If they’re still laughing at you, it must be for a different reason. On 10/31/2023 at 2:37 PM, Mynamemike said: I’m good on watching the packers. I’ll take your word for it.

Big Turk Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 On 11/21/2023 at 2:07 PM, NewEra said: I disagree. There’s more to it than capitalizing and getting turnovers. Getting beat for TDs is the anti-equivalent to getting turnovers. Douglas is more susceptible to giving up TDs. Benford is also a better tackler. I’ll take Doiglas at this point, but I disagree that “it’s not close”. McD certainly disagrees with you too It's not close and I don't think anyone disagrees right now.

That was the premise behind my statement. I’ve said countless times since the day the trade was made that we have our CB1 in Douglas, signifying that I think he’s better than Benford. At the time of the trade, Douglas had given up 4 20+ yard passes, 2 40+ yards passes and 2.5 TDs. He was having his worst season as a packer. Another reason for my post. Luckily for us, he’s reverted back to his 2021 play and hasn’t given up much To his credit, Benford has also forced 3 turnovers over the last 4 games. He’s playing great ball and is a better tackler than Douglas. Douglas has the superior DB DNA and instincts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some talking head said that Benford has a lot of similarities to Douglas maybe in like measurables and how they have to play the game, so he was the perfect person for him to learn from. Don't how true it is but that'd be fantastic for him to learn from the guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't how true it is but that'd be fantastic for him to learn from the guy. They are both physically limited players but have great instincts. Rasul in particular has a great nose for the ball, which is how he got paid by the Pack in the first place. He blew up on the scene when they had injuries i think and took the starting job.

I’d like to add here that Douglas and Benford being the same corner (IF THE’RE GOOD is the key) would make it difficult for offenses to scheme against them. Same guy.
