I don’t know anything about Lenzy Pipkins and I don’t care.

Good riddance to Antonio Morrison.

Are we going to trade for Squiggy, too?

If he can play R tackle, yes.

Morrison was just too slow for this defense.

In a pre-draft post, I looked at all the combine/pro-day 40 dash times for the LBs on the roster and the top rookies. They want SPEED on this defense.

40 times of all our current LBs:

Skai Moore = 4.73
Darius Leonard = 4.70
Jeremiah George = 4.66
Anthony Walker = 4.65
Tyrell Adams = 4.65
Najee Goode = 4.64
Matthew Adams = 4.63
Zaire Franklin = 4.62

Antonio Morrison = 5.10 (One of these is not like the others.......)

Too slow; he was getting cut regardless. Glad we got a bit more than a ham sandwich for him. Who knows? Perhaps the new guy was just being misused by the Pack. He could be our Jerry Hughes........

Walk Worthy,

The intro is a bit annoying, but a good breakdown of some of his highlights last year for the packers.

I'm pretty optimistic on the guy. He's physical, plays pretty smart.

Physical and smart? He’s gonna feel like an outsider on our defense.

I don't get it. I haven't seen anything to indicate our defense isn't physical or smart.
Young and inexperienced? heck yea.
Lacking elite-level talent? definitely.

It’s going to take a little time to rid this defense of Pagano’s influence. The lack of physicality has been quite evident when it comes to run defense in particular. I do agree with your observations regarding the challenges of youth and lack of playmakers. I do think we are trending in the right direction though.

I'll take it, he was gonna be cut anyway
