I think that MUSIC CITY is pushing it. I agree with BVAN.
PACKADDICT - no, my friend is not Kworst. K on his worst day would not have been at my desk in 2010 after the 3rd game of the year in which the Packers got 18 penalties and say "The Packers will never win a game with Mike McCarthy as head coach" - like this friend did. On 2nd thought maybe he would have ..........
I loved growing up on a farm, loved everything about it. Baling hay, working the field, even picking up stones.
I HATED milking cows. Every fiber of my body hated milking cows. That **** covered tail to the face would remind you every time what a horrible job it was.
I'd still never cut a cows tail off though. That is an asshole move.
Jaire is going to need significantly more elevation on his Lambeau Leap.
Hopefully he will get multiple opportunities to practice it this season.

No pun intended. Agreed about the tails.
And **** you robotic milkers! People gauge their lives on awake/sleep cycles. Dairy farmers gauge it on awake/milking/nap cycles.
Small comfort knowing if robotic technology was around my pops would've been all over . . . and still call a calculator a computer.
Ahhhhh picking rocks after quacking. Ice water in a mason jar.
Stupid hipsters.
NumberThree posted:When asked how he was going to spend his new found fortune, Jaire Longwell said the following:
Thereâs not too much to spend on out here [in Green Bay], so Iâll be saving a lot. Might have to get me a farm or something.
Good start kid, super good.
Looks like there could be plenty available.
I remember getting chewed out for riding the pigs on my uncle's farm.
Can't even imagine how much trouble we'd have been in if we were caught racing tractors.
Well you'd definitely have to cancel that dance you were organizing, young man.
Way to **** up the hoe down for everyone pig rider!
Picking rocks and tossing them on a rock sled... a beer never tasted so good as after that or haying!
Never rode a pig, but if it was icy outside we'd grab a calf's tail and ski until mom caught us. Good times!
Gotta admit, I wasn't a fan of this pick when Tremaine Edmunds was available. Jaire has changed my mind after 2 games...the dude is fantastic - plus the Pack has the Saints next year's #1. This kid is awesome.
#23 is the next jersey I'm getting.
When asked what stands out about Alexander, Belichick said Tuesday on a conference call: "Everything."
"Heâs going to have a great career in this league; we thought that in the draft," Belichick said. "I thought that was an excellent pick. It was a little bit ahead of where we were picking [at No. 31] and he was certainly one of the top players on the board. Heâs a great kid. Heâs got great energy. He loves football and has great football skills -- fast, athletic, good hands, good ball skills, can tackle, can play inside in the slot, can play outside on the perimeter, good zone vision, breaks on the ball, good man-to-man coverage, has good quickness, can match up with fast receivers, can match up with quick receivers. The guyâs a really good football player, and I think heâs got a great future in this league. I think heâll be one of the top corners in the game for a quite a while here."
BB up to his "lull them to sleep with praise" tactics again. I wonder how he'll go after Alexander.
Yup. BB is the master and probably already found something on the tape.
All the mastering over BB on this board is at times pathetic.
What he say about our safety duo?
As awesome as Alexander was in that game, I did notice he was holding Cooks on at least 2 or 3 plays that I saw. Hey, if they don't call it, then it ain't cheating... but that said, with a different ref crew maybe they call it on him. If nothing else, he did it in a way that it wasn't extremely obvious in real time speed, but you could see the holds when it was a slower motion replay.
He did. Everybody did. The refs were letting it go in that game. Will be interesting to see how this weekend's crew calls it.
Every DB holds, you just need to let go at the right time. Like an OL learning how to hold pass rushers and a WR learning how to push off, a DB just needs to learn how to hold and not get caught. Usually it's letting go before the jersey is stretched, and before the ball is thrown. He does that and he'll be fine.
Very true, if they don't see the clear jersey stretch they don't usually call it. I think the fact that he mirrored the guy step for step when he was doing it helped him get away with it.

Everybody scouts the refs. GB I am sure knew that crew allows players to play. They will have the next crew scouted as well.
I was worried he would be another T-Buck. So far he looks like he has more Craig Newsome in him. Seriously, super impressed that a guy with his stats is also so physical and willing to put his nose in there.
Looking like we hit the jackpot with this pick.

That's what all vikings DBs say.

It isn't just the player either....it's how Gutey acquired him by trading down then back up & getting another 1st rounder. Late in the round or not. That's a big move.

Considering many of us (myself included) were drooling over Ward and Minkah Fitzpatrick, the success of Alexander is pretty damn cool. He looks like the real deal.
...and Goodpussy got an extra 1st rounder out of the process to boot. Nice work.
got to say, I like this kid alot, I like his energy and his play is real good to boot. good pick for sure, esp with derwin james there, and he is also looking real good.
I think the Packers will finish somewhere around 8-7-1 or 7-8-1. Which would put Gute again with a top 14ish pick. Let's see if he can strike gold again with another 1st rounder high in the draft.
It's early but damn, looks like he hit a grand slam with Alexander
Nice story On Alexander on Packers.com, linky below.
Ahmad Carroll 2.0
Weren't you fired?
All I want for Christmas is a healthy King in 2019. Pair him (when healthy) with Jaire and that's solid on the outside.
King is Nick Perry 2.0. No ability to stay healthy. Already looking like King will be on the shelf again Sunday.
I hope King can get over the hump with injuries, he could be really good.
Alexander is going to be a shut down CB for a long time if he stays healthy. Heâs got the right level of confidence and plays fearless.
#Packers QB Aaron Rodgers says he's been impressed with what rookie CB Jaire Alexander has done this season: "I think heâs going to be a star in this league, but more than that heâs got a really good work ethic and a great attitude, loves football."

I just want to reiterate what GlutemusMaximus did here.
He traded down then back UP to draft Jaire plus get another 1st rounder in 2019.
I really can't stress enough how much value he got out of that selection. That is outstanding work for ANY GM.
Everyone sitting around me at the draft was stunned like "Holy Shit! How did he do that?!?!?"
It's impressive & I hope he can continue to build on it.
