Thats a good question ND. I do worry that people will precieve me as something other than a Packers fan, which is simply not true. I love my Pack. I live Packer Football, or Football in general. I just can't paint everything as rosey like others can.
I like some individual players. Driver is a professional in every sense. Brett's a guy that just loves the game and has such an amazing passion.
But I know what you are getting at, so I will address it. I do resent the people in charge of this franchise and think that they are leading us right back into the 80's all over again. I am not optimistic, sorry. I understand that some of you guys may be but I just can't figure out the logic. I see people focusing on TT's rebuilding of the defense, but yet they never acknowledge how he has ignored this line and the offense in general.
The O-Line is such a vital part of a football team. I know it's hard for some people to understand because these guys never get the publicity. I see people that think TT has addressed the line JUST BECAUSE he has brought in bodies. We had bodies last year and how did that pan out. These guys were stating the same thing going into last year, The O-Line is fine because we have players there. This was a spot TT could and SHOULD have addressed. The basic lack of caring about the most important part of our offense was enough to turned me against him alone.
I also saw him bring in guys like O'Dwyer, Thompson, Little, etc. Now the excuse makers will say we had no money but that's lame. If I only have 10 bucks to my name and I buy Crack with it while I ignore my families needs, is that OK? I could have spent that money on Bread and Macaroni and Cheese. Is it Prime Rib, of course not, but it's food to help my family through a rough time, and sure better than the Crack I brought.
We have plenty of good LB's but where the hell is our Kicker? Oh that's right TT was out of town. Javon wanted out and TT caved, setting a terrible example for the future. We have a coach who was the leader of a terrible offense last year. We have a coach who talks about "changing the attitude in GB" and then makes excuses for guys not showing up for OTA's. Who hired that coach?
It's hard for me to find anything positive about this team when the guy in charge fails in so many ways.
I like our RB's but sadly they will have no where to run. I like the young talent at the WR spot, but rebuilding an O-Line and a WR group at the same time is a recipe for disaster. Good luck throwing the ball to Rookie WR's in 3.2 seconds Brett.
I like the Defense as a whole outside of the D-Line which TT did improve by adding Pickett. KGB is still a liability against the run and who knows who will win the other Tackle spot. The LB's should be great. Barnett still frustrates me at time but thats part of being a playmaker at the MIKE spot. Taylor is the perfect fit for the SAM with guys like Barnett and AJ. The Woodson signing was about 3-4 years to late. The guy is awalking injury and has been a cancer in the past. He if healthy is an upgrade over Carroll though that logic is flawed. Either Commit to Carroll or cut and run. I think Carroll will turn out to be a solid corner though it may not be in GB. The Safeties look good to me but lack depth.
The Special Teams are a disaster and was completely ignored by TT. Again it just seems like a lack of details. This negligence will cost GB at least 1-2 games this year.
It's not a terrible team overall IMO, but the lack of focus on the details will strap this team this year. Hey, you asked for it.
