And here we go again. Blame it on TT. His strategy of bringing players up through the draft and letting older guys go has only resulted in a Superbowl win and three consecutive years in the playoffs.

But… don’t agree here robbie. I do not trust TT to get us a good pass rusher, because an Aldon Smith comes along once everY 3-4 years and I don’t see the Pack moving up in the draft or TT going into FA anytime soon (but I really really really hope I am wrong.)

Here are the stats

From NFL.com

Top Rookie Sack seasons

14.5 Jevon Kearse, Tennessee, 1999 – R1 Pick16

13.0 Dwight Freeney, Indianapolis, 2002
– R1 Pick11
12.5 Leslie O’Neal, San Diego, 1986 R1 Pick8

12.5 Simeon Rice, Arizona, 1996 – R1 Pick3

It outlines the situation pretty well. I agree with you 100% robbie.

Agree. Packers didn’t show up. Certainly they are embarassed, but we have to look at all the stats and decide who to jetison – not just dis the whole team. If it is okay that our sack leader has 6 sacks and we sacked opposing QBS 29 times in 2011, then no worries – otherwise – GET MATTHEWS SOME FRICKING HELP!!!!!

We’d be crazy to let him walk. Move him to safety and pay the man.

but my point was nobody can cover forever matthews and raji got double teamed and triple teamed every single snap this season so the the packers where never able to get pressure without blitzing add in the fact that bishop and hawk are problably the worst coverage lbers in the NFL there are bound to be problems..neways this team is 1 pass rusher away from being a dominate defense like a year ago, and i do trust TT to find that pass rusher and get him on this team idc if they have to let finley and driver go…they need a pass rusher and a replacment for woodson at CB because he should be a SS although that experiment didnt go well in oakland but aye wat does?

if you really want to know who to blame in this situation its very simple ted thompson….for letting cullen jenkins go who signed for a whopping 5 mil garranteed over 3 years in philly yet kept james jones who didnt make a single play for the pack all year…..shoulda kept cullen he made EVERyone on that defense better look at raji and mathews their numbers are WAY down mike neal is another injury plagued defensive lineman who will never make an impact for our team…wtf…

woodson was not where he was supposed to be…why would everyone be behind him in that situation? if woodson was in front of him it woulda been a incompleteion woodson was bad in coverage at most times this season they needed to move him to saftey but sam shields isnt ready to be a number 2 yet…

I used to think Marquand Manuel was the worst safety ever but that was before I saw Peprah play this season.

Woodson was the only Packer DB who was in the right position on the Hail Mary.

Unfortunately for him and the Packers, Charlie Peprah, Sam Shields and Jarrett Bush were NOT where they were supposed to be.

Nicks outjumping Woodson on one play doesn’t impugn him anymore than Steve Johnson scoring a couple TDs on Darrelle Revis impugns him.

People overstate the overused “he’s lost a step” mantra. Woodson actually covered very well this season. Where he struggled was making tackles.
