Official Week 2 Green Bay vs Indianapolis Colts Thread

Clifford never really played last year so judge him. I thought when we drafted him he was a reach. Every site had him as a UDFA. GB just had him as the backup last year due to cap issues. He should have been a guy on the PS last year also developing.

I thought he was better than decent at Penn State and thought he would develop much better than he has. Thought he would be a great backup and become trade bait

No, but his play in preseason last year, against similar level of defensive personnel - he at least showed a bit of competence that we didn't see this pre-season.

Amen on your choice of brews. That and Leinie's red, my two go-to choices of brew.

Bob McGinn said the other day on Tyler Dunn’s podcast that GBs problem on D is - and has been - that they draft premium athletes who are either quiet/enigmatic, or just dim bulbs, and that defensive leadership is about both fire/passion and intelligence. I think he’s right about this one.

Sorry not 100% on board with Bob here, they draft people that don't 100% fit their scheme and then try to plug them there, square peg round hole type of thing. I know all those UGA guys they drafted..they have been misused more than anything AND they were used to being platooned rather than being 60 snap guys....this is a known yet GB failed to understand it.

The whole fire/passion thing is a bit over the top, showing his lack of coaching and inside development background. I like Bob but having read him for over a couple of decades RP, but ya gotta learn to take him with a grain of salt, particularly in this kind of context.
