Absolutely agree. Jaire can play that click and close style, no one else and sure as hell not Kevin King. Andy mentioned (not sure if that was another podcast or this, or both) LaFleur talking about King and how good he is when he can play press man....but neither Barry nor Pettine ever play that lol. Why do they keep him when he clearly doesn't fit (and lost all his athleticism anyway)?
Fennell says the same (20+) haha.
TBH I'm actually looking forward to the rebuild. Keep the few young studs, work with Love, trade Aaron and see what happens. It will take a while but it's gonna be interesting.Not even sure I want Adams on a monster deal for that.
If this season goes south quickly, that will hurt Rodgers trade value which will then in turn hurt the future re-build. Gute's gonna need multiple high draft capital to re-stock the weapons on offense. And he's gonna have to absolutely nail the draft the next two years. Because Adams isn't coming back. Love the guy, but if Rodgers is gone, then best to get Love his own Adams. Cobb is definitely gone too. It's too early to tell what Amari Rodgers is, but let's say he is starter quality for arguments sake. MVS is a problem because for what he is worth, it's probably best to get that production from another third or fourth round pick on a cheap rookie deal. Sternberger is looking like a bust at this point. Deguara has a great skill set for LaFluer's scheme, but he's hurt a lot. I could see Big Bob leaving in FA too. Lazard is another scheme feet, but he isn't a game changer. O-line should be stacked for Love's early years, and that's crucial. But then you are left with a shitty defense like Rodgers has had, lol.
You know what, fuck it. focus on outscoring opponents. I swear that's been the philosophy with this team the last decade anyways. Get love his own 2011 styled weapons, plus a run game and see what happens.
