[QUOTE="Ace, post: 541478, member: 9774"] First off this is my 1st post on here, and so far I like what I see. Full disclosure, I am a TT supporter through and through and I cannot stand some of the criticism he receives from novice fans (which I can see most of you aren't). I live in Milwaukee and listen to local sports radio and my blood boils when people around here attempt to talk anything Packers, especially TT. I don't believe he is above criticism when it comes to his refusal to sign free agents (it drives me nuts) but I will argue to the death about his drafting ability. Especially his drafting in the past 2 seasons, because eventhough it's a copout I'm going to use it, injuries has ravaged his last 2 drafts. 2012: Nick Perry, I agree hasn't been the player you'd like in the 1st rd, but he has played in 17 games and has amassed 6.5 sacks in that time. Now, if I were to tell you that our rookie OLB, which is essentially what he is based on games played, had 6.5 sacks in his rookie season what would you say? His tackles aren't anywhere near where you'd like them to be and he appears to be athletically challenged but I do think he will have a roll on this team as a very productive situational pass rusher. I will not consider him a bust. Jerel Worthy showed some flashes last year and tore his knee up. Can't do anything about that Casy Hayward stud Mike Daniels was arguably our best defensive player this year (not saying much I agree) but still true. I think Ted found a gem here. A ton of people around here point to McMillian, fine he didn't pan out. It was a 4th round pick. He isn't going to hit everywhere. 2013: Datone Jones had the 4th most sacks of any defensive player taken in this draft, why he didn't play more is beyond me. To me thats a coaching decision not on Ted. Now, he was hurt much of TC and maybe that played a factor in his playing time. I refuse to chalk him up as a bust. Eddie Lacy stud David Bahktiari where would we have been without him? Micah Hyde is a going to be a solid player I don't think anyone can dispute that based on what we saw this year. Josh Boyd came on as of late. He said himself during an interview that he didn't know the defense early in the season which would be the reason for his lack of playing time. Once he learned the D he played and showed flashes. When it comes to free agency, even I can't argue that he has dropped the ball. This to me is the biggest mystery because when he has signed free agents, they have worked. Woodson resurected his career here, and Pickett has been a solid player his entire time here. [/QUOTE]
