Running list of ESPN layoffs. Dilfer, Werdel gone.

While there are some names on here that didn't add a lot of value to watching or interpreting sports, there are a lot of good, solid broadcasters and columnists  being let go (who can't be that expensive). Jayson Stark, Len Elmore, Eamonn Brennan, Ed Werder, Karl Ravech.

And yet it looks like they'll keep Stephen A. Smith.

Here's what Bob thinks of Randall and Rollins:

"There are no alternatives or excuses. For the Packers to win the Super Bowl, they need a massive upgrade at cornerback.

General manager Ted Thompson missed badly on two players, Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins, with his opening choices two years ago. They should be top-notch starters now. The Packers have little choice but to make confidence-enhancing statements regarding the two players, but with Randall’s lack of competitiveness and Rollins’ lack of speed their careers could be over in a year or two"

Bob McGinn is just a pissed off **** who is completely falling apart. Two guys he had rated as top 50 talent in 2015.

Bob right or Bob wrong....those 2 need to be better this year.  

Unless Randall was playing through an injury situation like Davante Adams the year before, Bob is right. Both guys were awful. Randall had the one play at the end of the half against Seattle where he made a great play in a zone defense to come up with a big interception, but other than that looked lost/disinterested. Randall should have the athletic ability to play CB (4.46 40), Rollins ran a 4.57.

All you needed to know about the Packers secondary last year was that they they thought they were better off to match up Julio Jones with a second year UDFA who ran a 4.7 40 out of college (Gunther) than either of their top draft picks from the previous year.

what a load that is.  I'm still of the belief R&R were too injured most of the season to be effective.  anyway, there is an alternative, BBB, and it can start up front.  if the GBP is able to upgrade pressure on the QB lots of DBs start looking a lot better.
