[QUOTE="digsthepack, post: 117164, member: 209"] Careful with the Dungy comments, folks. The NFL thought police might slap your hands for opining on the sacred issue of minority coaches. You know, the same people who for years, and who still, put "Daunte Culpepper" and "elite QB" in the same sentence!! Have a great Thanksgiving everyone. While it may not be represented in wins and losses thus far, the team is in much better shape today than when TT took over. Examples follow: 1. We now have a near elite group of LBs, with depth as well, where we had only one player in the form of Nick Barnett under MS. 2. The O-line is young but maturing quickly. Wahle is grossly overpaid based strictly on performance, so that arguement is diminished greatly. Plus, for those who still crave Hutchinson and his $49 million contract, how about that Vikings run game? Excellent display of restraint by TT IMHO. 3. Like the LBs, we now have a young and talented group of DL with substantial depth which allows for good rotation to keep players fresh. 4. The young depth has allowed for improved special teams play. Yes, they have a ways to go, but are much better than in years past. 5. Our kicker is a wash with Longwell thus far, and our punter clearly has out-performed previous Sherman pet....B.J. Sander. 6. Javon Walker is a damn near irreplaceable talent, but I like everything that Jennings brings to the game. Look at the stats between the two and just ptroject what Greg Jennings will be doing in the coming years. Whioe young, the WR's have some upside...and will be added to via draft and/or FA in the near future. 7. TT rid the team of previous Sherman pet and locker room cancer C. Hunt. This move ALONE tells me that TT has the team heading in the right direction. B.S. WILL NOT be tolerated in GB. You too, Javon. 8. Last, but certainly not least, TT has a skill for drafting players who seem to project quickly to the NFL and put up good performances early and consistently in their early careers. Hawk, Collins (coaching is killing the secondary), Jennings, College, Spitz, Moll, among others. Unlike the previous regime who suffered from "Denny Green Syndrome" (The need to draft sleepers/supreme athletes with little football experience but huge measurables in order to validate their excellence as GM when the lump O' coal becomes a diamond under their tuteledge) TT drafts football players. Yes, the Packers are a better team today than pre-TT, and the young talent could be a monster in the coming years with more good drafts and appropriate FA acquisitions. [/QUOTE]
