That's impressive. It's really a testament to the shift in approach we've seen from the front-office over the past 4-5 years.
Packers are pretty much in the same boat -- 20 out of the 22 starters are home grown. Only their NT (Guion?) and TE (Cook) didn't start their career in GB.

He never was a starter. It was McClain and T. Crawford then McClain and M. Collins.

Even then he really came on this year, that's impressive outside of our Carr miscue. That said, you can be wrong sometimes; the rest of the league is. When we have some cap room, use it to improve this D (at least attempt to) in FA considering the options. Not old school WAS style, more DEN/SEA style.

NY bought a D. SEA to an extent too (DL). We can afford to be wrong this off season. I agree with you in theory though, it's not sustainable. Dang Gregory and now even Lawrence. Really like Irving and Collins (homegrown) though. Is McClain a FA(?); he concerns me too being injured up til this point but has been great to compensate for Tyrone's letdown.
JJ is great at crafting the resigning of our own players to compensate for a lack of outside FAs. It's important to retain your talent, but it's not the same thing as adding talent to help with deficiencies on the roster.
Boredom (spoiled argument). We had a bye last week.

Fantastic Job = Winning playoff games.
Been painfully little of that over the past half a decade.
This year's club sure likes its well positioned to reverse that trend.

That's actually usually not true (at least, in the context it was used)...

Peppers isn't homegrown. Is Montgomery their true RB or is it Michaels now?

I believe Peppers comes off the bench with Matthews and Nick Perry as the starting OLBs.
I think Montgomery is the starting RB, however, it slowly looks like that experiment is fizzling out.

Jerry has done an absolutely fantastic job at drafting over the past few years.
If it were up to several goobers around here, we'd have Johnny Manziel (who Jerry ultimately decided to pass on but there was still a lot of ruing on this board) and Jalen Ramsey on this team instead of Travis Fredrick (what a reach Jerry! He's not worth a first rounder!!!!), Zach Martin, Zeke (you DONT draft a RB in the first round!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), and Dak (maybe, just maybe he'll develop into a serviceable backup?).
