I think we need to bank on Martin being ready sooner rather than later. It is funny because some Ravens fans are upset about lack of play and depth in the backfield right now.

MM said Derrick Martin was picking up the defensive scheme well so I am not too worried about the release of Smith. Rouse or Martin will do...especially against the Rams.

But how will they fair against the Vikings and such? I hate when our depth "will do." Kind of like how Barbe "will do" and such. Will do just doesn't cut it for me. I believe Smith would have been a step above "will do," and even if that step was minor, we need all we can get at this point.

I just hope Martin steps up. We could really use him!!

... oh and btw I'm still glad we got rid of smith - not like we dont need a safety now (ok sarcasm off).

Smith was let go because he as not assignment sure and went rogue during plays. Looks great in pre season when there's no one game planning against you, looks stupid in the regular season. Hence, his being cut. (that's not me spouting off, that's what was said about his time in GB)

I understand what was said, I still don't agree with it though. Are they trying to tell me Bush, Bigby, or Rouse don't do the same exact thing? Surely Smith offers more upside then Bush at safety??

I bet all of us would like to have him back there now. Sure, maybe he's not perfect, but he was obviously decent. I would feel pretty secure with him back there. I don't see as much as the coaches, but I will hold steady to the opinion of feeling more comfortable with him back there then Bush, even if just the familiarity with the system.

Bush was not kept to play safety, it just so happens he can at l;east step in there in emergencies. Is it what we want to see? No, but Bush is not on the team to be a safety, so no relevance to Smith.

I have faith in Rouse..the only glaring mistake i seen on sunday was on the TD to Henry, Rouse didnt even notice him going behind him and let him run free.

Zero2Cool (7h) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (11h) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (13h) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (16h) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (17h) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Thanks Mucky and whomever created topcos for each pick!

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : Insane about Kingsley

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Putring it here so Mucky sees it. He was our guy!

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Bowden long snapper Wisconsin. Consensus best LS in college.

dfosterf (28-Apr) : We got Peter Bowde

dfosterf (28-Apr) : I personally interpret that as a partial tear that can be recovered from with rehab

dfosterf (28-Apr) : MLF said Kingsley Enagbare did NOT tear his ACL and did NOT require surgery, and that he is "looking good" for the 2024 season!

beast (28-Apr) : T.O. son signs with the 49ers

Mucky Tundra (28-Apr) : damn those vikings

beast (27-Apr) : OL – Donovan Jennings, USF OT – Trente Jones, Michigan

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : Interesting draft. A bit shocked that we didn't select an early CB. Definitely have Safety help. Pretty happy overall.

dhazer (27-Apr) : wow the last 2 picks are really stupid and probably will be special teams players Top 10 draft pick next year book it

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : I think he ended up with a terrible RAS score

dhazer (27-Apr) : Anyone know what went on with Kitchens from Florida? At 1 point he was to be the Packers 1st round and he is way down the board now

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : Z, could you please combine my thread with yours please. I obviously did not see it when I Created it
