The Good?
Jake Kumerow - this young man WILL have a good year. He has great size, 6'4 & 209 lbs. He gets separation! He seems to catch the football (one miss last night). And, MOST important, he seems to have Aaron Rodgers trust.
The Bad?
Tackling!!!! If we were playing two hand touch, we would be freaking awesome!! The players gat to the ball, BUT............. Since it seems to be a team epidemic!! So, I attribute it to taking it easy in practice to avoid injury. I AM SO SICK & TIRED OF PACKERS GETTING HURT!!!! So, I put the blame on the coaching staff. (By the way, this was an issue under Coach McCarthy)
The Ugly?
Preseason football! In general, what a waste of time!!! My idea. Players come to camp in shape! In the old days, 1960's, even into the 70's, players worked themselves in shape. We have OTA's, all year round personal trainers & players make enough money so the DO NOT NEED a part time job in the off season! So,
1 - Two preseason games
2 - Stay with 16 games, but each team gets 2 bye weeks. Start playing before Labor Day.
3 - Increase the roster from 53 to 60 players.
4 - If someone is on Injured Reserve, they can come back anytime. Limit is 5 players allowed.
5 - Introduce a minor league schedule, 32 teams, 10-12 games, play Wednesday Nights. Start two weeks into the season, end two weeks before the end of the season. Take the place of the 10 team practice squad, 40-50 players on the teams.
OK, next preseason games, KISS Method(Keep It Simple Stupid)
Tackle
No Penalties
And, Aaron Rodgers - play one quarter of football!!
