I think our WRs need to beef up some. They have speed but it appears they are brittle. We can expect one or two every week to be out, doubtful, or questionable. Even with the penalties on defenders look what happened to Hockenson. And he's a TE who is not easy to bring down.
Expect to see more of the jet sweep with them next season. Possibly one can be a return man.
Toure is the only WR I haven't heard much about, so agreed, and Melton doesn't look like a fluke. For the upcoming pick, with 5 picks in rounds 1-3, I'd go with S/CB, LT, ILB, and RB - more or less in that order, although I'd switch out S/CB and LT in round 1 depending on who is available.
Agreed. Just look at guys like Tyreek Hill, AJ Brown, Mike Evans and others. These guys are cut. They don't come like that from college. Good strength training and diet and discipline give them the ability to add some muscle and avoid some injuries.
I don't have PFF premium, but I would like to see the ratio of targets to snaps for Toure. When he's in the game, which is usually in situations where one of the other WRs is dinged up, he seems to still get targeted by Love. I think he's on the same page as Love, but just has been passed up by the more athletic WRs. If he doesn't make Packers next year, I would not be surprised to see him in a Jets uniform. Rodgers likes WRs who he can count on knowing where they are.
Toure doesn't do ST which is a big strike against a WR buried on the depth chart. He gets most of his snaps when Watson is out. Games 1-4 & 13 are his only double digit snap counts. He does lead the team on depth of target at over 18yds. Looks to me like he is considered a deep threat ala MVS. He is also the oldest, by birth date, WR on the roster; the only one older than his QB.
Thanks Poppa San! Yes, his lack of ST use doesn't help his case. IIRC they tried him on punt returns in preseason and he was shaky, at best. Too bad. Good locker interview, and seems like a good guy. He'll be in the league somewhere.
I think that was more Rodgers being "the New Rodgers" to be honest. Leaving GB he knew his PR took a big hit and he had to change or the NY media would eat him up. One of the biggest knocks on him was his hot and cold relationships with teammates and coaches. Whether they were true or not, they soured a lot of fans opinion of him.
It's gonna be interesting to see how Rodgers does next year. He was never a running QB, but he was damn good at evading rushers and creating something out of nothing while making incredible passes across his body.
The Jets won't know if Rodgers plays or not next year, until after he consults with his coven of trusted witches.
I love this! And of course, it's the only way for Rodgers to know what to do, for sure.
I stole it, from an article out of the Onion. But yes, very funny.
Thanks for crediting the source. Yeah I saw it in the Onion too and it's still hilarious. And I think this was before his "darkness retreat". The witches may be brewing up a new batch of ayahuasca.
We actually look a lot better with Watson out there. Other players are a lot more open. Not playing Sunday doesn't mean he won't play the next week. So I want to keep him. I don't think he should be running any jet sweeps though. He is not built for it imho.
His relationships with women were hot and cold as well.
Exactly. With good research, we’ve shown we can draft a really good WR inside that Top 50 ballpark. That’s 4 years at $5mil instead of 4 years at $100Mil+
We do look better when he plays, but thats the problem his availability. We need a true number 1 injected into the offense for 24 to prep for 25 SB run.
Only if this Pickens type has a brain. No interest in any one like the original.
OK how about a Jordy or Driver type play style. a December Janurary player.
