The Beckham and Vernon trades which got us Zeitler and Peppers has backfired for both teams, agreed. Zeitler is not going to the pro bowl and neither is Peppers. Vernon is injured as usual and Beckham is having a average year. Gentleman is not impressing me with any of his moves so far.
Pugh, Richburg and Flowers are playing well for their teams and our O-line is terrible right now via his moves. Flowers is playing guard well which he and Reese both misjudged.
Zeitler is our best offensive lineman this year and one of two men worth keeping on the line for next season (Hernandez and Zeitler)
We unloaded vernons insane contract and odells and got back peppers. So we saved money right there and got a nice player.
The trade got us an extra pick which turned into dexter Lawrence who has been the best or second best 0 tech in the nfl. One of the best run stuffing DTs and a shockingly high pass rate success.
I suggest you do some more research before starting threads calling out the GM
I’d say Jamon brown played at an equal if not higher lever
Keep in mind there is massive cap benefits for the next couple years because we made this trade also. Next year we should be able to add 3 FA starters for the cap space we would have had to delegate to Beckham.
The Beckham side of the trade looks promising, the Vernon side looks like a wash. For the money, cutting Vernon and signing Brown might have been the better investment.
On another note, what about signing Scherff to play RT, too much of a risk?
I never really got why it went so south for him here
I hear from a lot of sources this guy is playing well. What I don't hear is this guys name during a game. Zeitler's certainly not having a good year but I do blame that on being one of the most poorly coached O-Lines in the league.
Giants - Zeitler (29), Peppers (23), Lawrence (21), Xman (22)
Browns - Vernon (29), OBJ (27)
If he's playing for us the same way he has so far, we're calling him hot garbage. Somehow when he does it for a different team, it is a positive?
Let me guess, Eli Apple is doing great too?

which also goes with Richburg(run out of town on a rail by BBI faithful), Pugh(on the very next rail), Flowers(couldn't be tied to the rail as he kept whiffing).
If you think that DG whiffed on the Cleveland trades, then you really should not be starting threads like this.

You leave him out on purpose? Zeitler injured is much better than anyone theyve had at RG in a long time

You would be the only one. Agree to disagree I guess bit that take seems to just be anti DG. This thread premise leaving out Dex L is beyond stupid
I have not mentioned Lawrence what are you talking about

No its not its an observation I'm asking opinions on and its not stupid don't judge people you don't know.
[quote] You leave him out on purpose? Zeitler injured is much better than anyone theyve had at RG in a long time [I /quote] I did not but look at Barley today 14 rushes for 1 yard that's pathetic
Because it leaves open the misguided hope that all you need is a new coach and voila, everything's great again.
Since Macadoo I've been ranting about how this Packers lite system is very hard on OL development.
And we are still running the same shit with regards to: denying the trend about line ru action supporting pass outcomes and therefore helping OL development.
That said, no free safeties on the roster and no outstanding athletes at ilb either.
****ANd what is most obvious both need OFENSIVE LINEMEN -- plural - they need MULTIPLE. SO either get in FA or draft or both.

But what happened today where was Zeitler or the whole O-line it stinks and Geetleman is responsible don't tell me to not post the truth.
