I'm hoping that a large part of that was Dom capers being inept and that haha can rebound with a better scheme. It is concerning though. Also our depth in the backfield is going to be so paper thin that any injury to king or dix is going to be brutal.

I'm more optimistic about Pettine than I was about another year of capers, but I think it's going to be another year of getting torched in the backfield if the pass rush can't get home.
Exactly. I can't help but blame the scheme when it was so one dimensional that the Packers gave up the most 3rd down conversions in the league (or very close to it) with a disproportionate amount being 3rd and long, an obvious passing situation.

I was going to complain about signing an over-the-hill 35 year old cornerback, even if it's Tramon, but he's better than a lot of what we got right now, so welp.

Allegedly he played really well last year according to pff. And he should be familiar with Pettine's schemes which is a plus.

The Packers signed him for two seasons but in all honesty I don't expect him to play more than one. Even as old as he is, having a stable veteran presence who knows the defense will be valuable.

Between Mo and Tramon I'm kind of OK with what the defense is right now, especially as long as we pick up a blue chip player in the draft. Everything I've read about Harold Landry and Marcus Davenport, though, has me convinced that they're an unacceptably high bust risk, and I'd rather the Packers trade up for a better player (Vita Vea!), stay put for Tremaine Edwards, or trade down for Leighton Vander Esch to really round out the linebacking corps. Picking up a corner or safety at 14 is also OK, but I don't expect anyone the Packers have access to at these position to be able to make a meaningful contribution this season.

Meh

Between Tramon Williams and (I think soon?) Davon House, who actually played well before getting injured, I'm fine with our veteran presence at CB and leaning on King/Rollins/Pipkins to develop.

I'd like to see the Packers pick up Eric Reid at something like $3M and use him like we used Micah Hyde a couple years ago, while keeping HHCD and Brice/Jones on the field.

After that, just focus on linebackers/defensive line in the draft, pick up a corner in the third, TE or WR in the second, good to go.

Also if Janis and Randall were coveted Eliot Wolf picks, judging from the Browns bringing them over, then I think the Packers may have dodged a bullet by going with Gute over Wolf.

Look for the white player whose plays an obscure position and whose name most closely resembles an ethnic slur. Those fans need to be able to shout their insecurities under the guise of rooting for a player.

Absolutely not. I definitely made the connection as well as a few other people. I think one of the cards in the online tff cards against humanity deck was something along the lines of "A white Packer fan that enjoys yelling Kuhn just a little too much" or something like that.

I remember back in 2010 there were talks of the Packers trading for Marshawn Lynch before he ended up going to Seattle. As much as I would have loved having Beast Mode, the idea of Lynch and Kuhn being in the same backfield and the potential chants that would have occurred would have been super problematic.

Or a player with a single syllable name makes a fun play and fans just like drawing it out.
