Datone Jones believes he was good in 2013

I thought I did really good. I was able to really help out a lot on third down. In the pass department, I was second on our defensive line in sacks; and we have a big veteran group. So I thought I played pretty well this year and I got better every week.

I’m just saying it right now, next year I’ll be a whole other player. I won’t look the same, my body won’t look the same, I’ll be bigger, stronger, faster. That mental next step, I’ll have it. I’m excited. I know I’m going to have a good year next year. Nothing’s going to slow me down.

I was the smartest kid in my family. Did I mention that we grew up under powerlines and licked a lot of lead paint as kids? Oh, I recall us all being dropped on our heads a lot too. I'm the smartest of them, though!

Hope so.

He looked great in TC until the ankle.

Give me a player who is All Pro who says he is not happy with his performance and is going to work the whole off season getting better.

First reaction: Good grief.
Second reaction: You've got to be kidding.
Third reaction: Why can't he play for the Lions or the 49ers or someone else?

Not necessarily what I want to hear, but at the end of the day I don't care what the guy says; I care what the guy does. If he puts in the work, gets better and tears the league apart next season he can tell us he pisses rainbows and shits roses for all I care. If he doesn't, that's another story.

Seriously? What's the big deal?

A players says he thought he did good... weather it's true or not that's kind of part of their unofficial job... teams want them to stay positive and say good things weather they're true or not...

It's just like Rodgers saying the team overcame adversity for them to win the division... it's lie to make a puff piece for the media and sounds a lot better than the truth that the Lions completely and totally choked, while the Bears got to comfortable, the Vikings then beat the Bears... Vikings then embarrassed the Eagles and decided to embarrass the next team they met, which just happen to be the Bears, giving the Packers the chance at winning, and with the help of a random free play where the players on the field thought the ball was dead... Packers sneak in 7 points which happens to be the difference in who won and who lost.

Players setting the media up with nice fluff pieces is just part of the job.... even if the fluff pieces aren't the best thing out there it's good PR for the team and players which is what they want out there.

Don't think what he said is very far off. Gets bigger and stronger coming back next season at 295-300lbs and we may have something. He was pretty limited because of his ankle injury and his size. Not going to get many run down snaps when you are going against Raji, Pickett, Jolly, Daniels, Wilson and Boyd who all have that size on him.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I don't get what the big deal is...

Is he not allowed to be pleased with how he played as a rookie in the NFL? Everyone always gets their panties in a bunch whenever a player doesn't use the cliche responses to answer reporters' questions.

Zero2Cool (6h) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9h) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (13h) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (13h) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

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

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : 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
