@Packiderm posted:I think Douglas gets traded regardless. Loved the guy and he played well in Buffalo but he was in an entirely different defense. He was getting burned this year in GB and I saw him getting burned more than once with Buffalo.
Douglas was traded because Gute knew he would be a cap casualty in the offseason and decided to get some draft capital for him instead of nothing when the Bills offered the pick.
Im still trying to figure what Rasul Douglas has to do with Chris Gizzi getting fired
Gizzi didn't massage Watson's hamstrings with unpastuerized sheep's milk because he let Rasul use it for making smoothies.
AR switched to whale milk during covid lockdown so it's definitely not his fault.
@andrewmertig: Based on two separate sources, Christian Parker is currently in Green Bay, and I’m being led to believe has been offered the Green Bay DC job. No word on if it has been accepted.
Pretty sad state of affairs when, on conference championship Sunday, I'm here wondering if my team has hired a new strength and conditioning coach.

@ChilliJon posted:Joe Barry had 6:21 left in the 4th QTR to save his job up 4 against a 1 seed as a 7 seed on the road as a 7.5 point dog
instead of throwing the Kitchen Sink at a QB that had completed 57% of his passes to that point he went full turtle and MLF let it happen for 5 full minutes.
Im still not over last week. It’s gonna be a while. Fuck Barry and Fuck MLF for having his back way longer than he should have.
tHIS!!!!!! 
Clutch!
No other team has been there as much 🤷♂️
Damn. Almost twice many as anyone else. Jeebus! How many trophies have we pissed away?
I guess probably one each for Favre/Rodgers I'd consider 'pissed away'. But without playing alternate history with coaching hires who can really say? Farts in the wind, as the wise ones say.
The Packers have made progress in their pursuit of a new DC, but they still have stones to turn over. Meanwhile, a division rival might have just hit an inflection point.

For @TheLeapGB: an update on the DC search and the NFC North's changing landscape.https://t.co/2L8RvXkgwL
I’m not surprised the #Packers DC search is being done by cloak and dagger while other teams are tweeting out their interviews.

Last cycle, Jim Leonhard did an interview on turning down the job causing Matt LaFleur to have to publicly address having to hire his No. 2 choice.
Well, based on the new round of interviews this appears to be incorrect. I do apologize for anyone who was misled. This was a legit team source, so I’ll try to follow up and see what happened. But at the end of the day I was clearly wrong to post it. To clarify a few things (1/2) https://t.co/EA7bWI2GnH

Ravens DB coach now set to interview.
It seems MLF is really trying to get this one right. I like the patience
Young, up and coming candidates for the DC job in Green Bay?
Who wants an aggressive, innovative D that might actually get a key stop at the end of a game?
Yes please.
Get it done MLF ... and no to Staley.

I really am liking that he is looking at young up and coming candidates from places like Baltimore where they have continued defensive success.
I want a coordinator who used controlled aggression that stresses the offense that forces them in to mistakes. Not sitting back hoping they don't get a big play.
Full known interview list up to 6:

Christian Parker
Brandon Staley
Ayden Durde
Bobby Babich
Dennard Wilson
Zachary Orr

Hopefully hiring a younger DC will have a better result than MLF hiring the younger special teams coach a few years ago. That did not end well..
Sometimes the league just does the evaluation for you! Dennard Wilson is the top secondary coach in the NFL and people from around the NFL are finally waking up and recognizing his “It Factor”. Whoever gets him will win big based off all the analytics and the tape watching! A… https://t.co/25SsTI5IMv

Breece Hall....think the Packers could get him as eventual Aaron Jones replacement?? Maybe even in 2024? With a trade? 🤔😈

Packers may have purposefully given out incorrect info in order to find rats and Mr Mertig has taken the bait. His “team sources” may not be team sources for long.
What about the other guy?? Maafi - Packers terminating 2 team employees?
If you wait too long, the guy you want is gone. Fine line.
@antooo posted:Nah, I think he's just fucking with Mertig to make him look bad.
In Metig's X account, he states:
"I hate condiments and people who call it a bubbler."
Who calls condiments a bubbler anyway? A drinking fountain....sure, it's a bubbler, but condiments?
Condiments are like ketchup & mustard, salt & pepper. Yeah I don't get that either. Maybe he meant condoms 😂🤭
Bubbler or drinking fountain ⛲..... Who GAF?!?
Sheesh....

some really good points in this story especially about Aaron Jones value as a blocker.
@BradyHenderson: Former Rams, Vikings and Seahawks QB Sean Mannion is ending his nine-year NFL playing career and has accepted a position on the Packers’ coaching staff, a source tells me. He’ll work with QBs and the passing game.
I’ve heard from several people over the last few years who said Mannion was destined to eventually coach because of his intelligence and understanding of the game. He’ll get that start in Green Bay after finishing last season on the Seahawks’ practice squad.
I hope Tom Clements is staying, but he is getting up there in years. Perhaps Mannion will be his assistant and learn from one of the best QB coaches for a year or two.
JSO is reporting that Jerry Montgomery (DL coach) will be interviewing with the Patriots? It's behind a paywall at JSO.
More on Jerry Montgomery:
@mattschneidman: Sources: Packers defensive line coach and run game coordinator Jerry Montgomery is not returning next season on Jeff Hafley’s staff. Montgomery has been with Green Bay since 2015 and already has multiple opportunities to coach elsewhere.
Don’t let the Applebees door hit you on yer way out! #newblood
Seriously tho, he must be good to have lasted that long, thanks Jerry.
