I would be shocked if he could DD. The guy was a 7th round pick and played like crazy to get to that starter role. Now he's kinda being thrown out by the emerge of Jennings and he still plays with a smile on his face.

I think you need a couple of guys like that. He gets the work ethic up, going out there as not the most physically gifted guy, but as a hard worker and running all over defenders. I love him.

I have always admired DD. He has a great attitude. That he plays at this kind of a level in the NFL is so impressive esp when you realize he was homeless as a kid and lived in several different homeless shelters. Just an amazing man.

He's a great role model for the young packers for sure

I don't see it like that. What I see is that DD is getting double teamed as the veteran on the squad which allows the other, younger players to flourish, which Jennings (Walker before him) and Jones are using to their opportunities to grow as players. I'm sure DD is perfectly happy in his half mentor half leadership role that he has, and doesn't feel like he's being forced out or anything.

some out there ( not I ) think that Ted Thompson is looking to put a even bigger stamp on this team by getting rid of all BF favorite guys. This way it will all be Ted Thompson guys.

Ted Thompson is looking to win games any way he can. If it is with players left over from the former regime he will use them. If he can replace players, any of them on the team, with younger (or older if need be) players that have more ability he will do that.

That would be a big mistake if Ted Thompson would cut DD, he has always been one of my favorite players on the team, he is another person that is so down to earth and would stop and sign autographs for anyone.

dfosterf (24-Apr) : Mucky- The only thing fun to watch would be me flipping the f out if Gute goes up to 13 and grabs Brock Bowers, lol

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : *game plan

Martha Careful (23-Apr) : IMHO, not even close. He is not a guy you game play around.

Mucky Tundra (23-Apr) : is Aiyuk worth a 1st rounder?

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : 49ers are seeking a 1st round pick in exchange for WR Brandon Aiyuk

Mucky Tundra (22-Apr) : Based on Gutes comments, now I don't feel as silly having 13 picks in my mock the other day

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Zach Wilson to Broncos.

beast (21-Apr) : Sometimes looking extremely amazing, sometimes looking extremely lost

beast (21-Apr) : I haven't looked into the QBs, but some have suggested Maye has some of the most extremely inconsistent tape they've seen

beast (21-Apr) : Well it also sounds like Patriots are listening to trade offers, not that seriously considering any, but listening means they aren't locked

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Vikings HC joked that he may or may not have sent flowers to Bob Kraft. That's where rumor came from.

beast (20-Apr) : I'm not sure they have different playbooks for different OL positions, and Dillard run blocking is supposedly worse than his pass blocking..

dfosterf (19-Apr) : The only problem with that is he isn't a guard either.

dfosterf (19-Apr) : Put him at right guard. That is where he will be coached. That is where he will compete. He is not even allowed to look at the LT playbook.

dfosterf (18-Apr) : Kidding aside, I hope the best for him.
