Watching some Julius Peppers. Did they have to extract him from Tyron Smith's *** after the game against Dallas? Damn, Smith ate him up

lol

T. Smith is a young stud and Peppers is an old fart. It was bound to happen.

Regrettably, I see the same happening to the once great D-Ware. There are too many young stud LTs salivating at the opportunity to put D on his can. It happens to all the great pass rushers eventually.

Father time is undefeated.

Why did Green Bay sign Peppers? He seems like an odd fit in their 3-4 defense.

Situational pass rusher, I am guessing. Think Greg Ellis in the 3-4.

He can pretty much tweet the same thing about Tyron vs Jared Allen.

But then Ware kicked his *** all camp and that didn't end up mattering come game time.

It seems really out of character for the Packers. They don't generally give out big contracts to free agents. The fact that they gave out a big contract to a 34 year old declining player that does not seem like a good fit in their scheme is really odd.

I am rightfully rough on the front office, but Tyron was a home run draft pick. Every team has very good players but finding a guy at a key spot at LT is great.

Would he be a top 5 pick (minus all qb's) if GM' had a player draft? I would probably say yes on age, position and talent.

 

[poost]

It blows my mind that he is only going to be 24.

I thought so as well, but I think they have tried several OLB's in the draft the past couple of years and none of them have developed to help out Blondie. Plus he tends to get hurt quite often. Just my .02

I heard it was to play the "elephant" position, so they will have him off the LOS a bit. I always thought it was called "joker" in the front 7 but whatever. I guess in some situations he will be like a DE on others he will be a LBer in coverage.

Who wasn't owned by Tyron last season??

8-7-1 has them antsy.

Remember when Ray Rhodes went 8-8 in his first season as Packers head coach? They fired him for it.

Their "draft only" strategy hasn't been working only.

Ware was a man possessed in camp and the first few weeks. Just look how he man handled Jake Long. Injuries once again caught up.

I loved watching Tyron Smith against Trent Cole. It was like watching a child (Cole) throwing a tantrum and being corralled by his parent (Tyron).

 

[pugilist]

love Tyron. humble and upstanding, yet dominating presence on and off the field

JJ Watt in the pro bowl when he played RT.

He let him have that day. He didn't want to give away any tips for this upcoming season.

Prisco is the dumbest guy on the nfl beat.
