Perhaps the Packers should get some WRs who can get open.
Just think of how much time those 4 minute patterns are taking off the clock.
No getting around it. There was a time when Greg Jennings was really effing good. Like "one of the 5 best WRs in the NFL" good. Jordy is pretty fly for a white guy.
Jordy is pretty fly for a purple guy. Just because he's pale don't make him white.
Jennings caught the football more effortlessly than anybody I can remember...I wonder if he regrets he blew a chance at the HOF by letting his ego get the best of him.
Thanksgiving with his sister must be interesting.
Recurring theme throughout that video. WRs not carrying a football looking to put a hat on a defender well downfield to spring the guy with the football. Good lesson there for the young guys on the roster.
Another recurring theme is that 12 guy. He's pretty ok.
Jennings had some concerning injury issues in his last season in GB. Could have also been a sign of father time. He didn't exactly light things up in MIN. His best days were most likely behind him when he left.
His best days were most likely behind him, but several better-than-good days were still ahead of him. If he hadn't gone to Minny, which didn't have a QB worth spit, but instead had gone to a better-QB team, he would have had some good games left in him.
Spoiled, we are.
I agree with FANDAME in that when I saw a video of Jennings in MN and it showed him running an out pattern he turned for the ball only to see it sail way above his head. He knew right there & then that he wasn't in Mr. Rogers Neighborhood any more.
Even a couple Tom Crabtree TDs in there...
Interesting story on House. I know Gunter gets a lot of grief for his lack of speed and what the Falcons did to him last year, but I think his safe and so many passes defensed last year makes him an intriguing possibility.

#Packers sign fourth-round RB Jamaal Williams & release P Jacob Schum.

Appears the search to replace Tim Masthay continues.
They must feel good about the UDFA they signed, Vogel?
Or Rodgers is going to be handling the punting duties. That's going to make ST's insane.
Maybe Biegel can punt with his good foot.
So the LS would have to earn Rodgers trust too?
The article also says they signed WR Colby Pearson of BYU. So now GB has a BYU RB, a BYU QB, and now a BYU WR. The BYU cavalry has arrived. Now if we could sign the BYU punter we will be in good shape.

The player's wives section gonna be extra crowded this year.

Through the first six seasons of his career, Jennings was averaging 1K yds and 8 TDs a season, even though he played sparingly his rookie year. There is a good argument that he was on his way to a HOF career, especially if he could have played with #12 the whole time. But the man had to chase the money. He chose cash over rings, an amazing legacy in the world's best football town, and the opportunity to reach Canton. I hope it was worth it.
Canton? C'mon now. He was really good, but he wasn't Canton bound.
TT ain't exactly the best judge of punting talent. Hold your breath.

Dude reminds me so much of Jerry Holmes. That's not good.

Adios Schumbag!
Vogel has a cannon leg...firmly believe we've upgraded.

I think TT is getting them confused with Utah who is now in the Pac12.
Firm believer, never punt.

OK - but how good is he at getting it down inside the 10?
Herschel posted:Canton? C'mon now. He was really good, but he wasn't Canton bound.
If Jennings finishes his career in GB playing with Rodgers he's got better numbers than Michael Irvin. A lot better than Irvin. Which raises the question, WTF Is Michael Irvin doing in the Hall of Fame?
Herschel posted:Canton? C'mon now. He was really good, but he wasn't Canton bound.
Why not? Again, look at the numbers he posted in his first six years with the Packers. What if he keeps up the same rate for another 4-6 years? That puts him with 10K-12K yds and 80-96 TDs. Perhaps he helps us add another ring during that time (considering how many times we've been close). Other WRs have made the HOF or are in the annual HOF conversation with similar numbers.
Good WR + HOF QB = Ability to Win & Produce = HOF Potential
I'm not saying he was going to be a slam dunk, but he could have made a good argument (primarily because he was playing with AR12).
Hungry5 posted:Firm believer, never punt.
I was amazed about how many times we went for it on 4th down. Did well on many of them. Made me wonder if it was because of our confidence in the offense or concern over our ST's.
We tied for 11th in the league in 4th down attempts and were 26th in success.
Assuming Jennings continued to get anywhere near the 1000/8 per year for another 4-6 years after he had that injury and hit his 30's is realllllly optimistic. Even with AR, GJ would have seen more reps going to 87, et. al. Following your argument, had he reached your numbers for 4-6 more years, he wouldn't have had a case just on numbers, he would have had a case on consistency over many years which is very rare for WR's. Another reason he would have had difficulty getting into the hall (vs Irvin) is there are a lot more WR candidates (lots of stats) today than there were in Irvin's day. The committee has had to be more selective lately because of the league being more and more geared toward passing.
Big fan of Jennings when he was with the Packers but never really considered him HOF material.
Yeah, Irvin in there is hype, not numbers, and team accomplishments.
ChilliJon posted:Which raises the question, WTF Is Michael Irvin doing in the Hall of Fame?
Hookers and blow?
Irvin also produced on a primarily run-first team. I don't think he should be in the HOF, but he has a better case than several WRs of this pass-heavy era. Irvin is a HOF talent, with a good resume, that probably shouldn't be in the HOF. It's not about quantity, it's about quality. Drew Brees has produced at a HOF level, but his production is quantity over quality, not a HOFer IMO.

I'll take your word over TT when it comes to punting, after all, you are a soccer fag.
