Despite his youth, is this the "make-or-break" year for Montravius Adams? The depth of the defensive line is the most concerning aspect of this roster.
That's accurate and I think Adams would tell you the same thing. At times, Adams has flashed the playmaking ability that made him a third-round pick in 2017 but consistency is king. He's now in his fourth NFL season. It's go time.

I've been a reader of this forum for years. I don't recall any questions, or concern, about letting Casey Hayward leave in free agency, especially with his injury history. So why are all the armchair GMs focused on the past?
It's easier to pontificate about the past than predict the future. That way, you're never wrong.

It sounds like Tim Boyle has been impressive in camp to this point. How has what you've seen this year compare to last year and is there enough there to project a future franchise QB for someone?
Boyle has made strides in his progressions, mid-field accuracy, and anticipating where his receivers are going to be with his throws. It's too bad fans weren't able to attend practices this summer because Boyle really has been impressive.

The season is over and the Packers have won the Super Bowl this year. Besides Davante Adams, who were the other two top contributors from the receiving core, WR or TE?
It needs to be both. With how this team is built, the Packers need both of those positions to contribute in 2020. And if Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Robert Tonyan fulfill their potential this year, the Packers' offense will be fun to watch.

I would love any insights you have into the world of being a free agent/unsigned player. Are these people and their agents simply passing out the film version of a mix tape to teams trying to get someone to take a second look, or are they living on name recognition? They don't strike me as having a standard resume, where the list of people they covered in college is part of their job responsibilities.
Any agent worth his or her salt is constantly working the phones and sending emails to get the client a workout. They'll occasionally pass along film, especially if it's a lesser-known player, but mostly it's just trying to keep their guy in the rolodex of NFL GMs and personnel executives.
Statham from Pineview, GA
Is the hype about Kamal Martin making a push to start real? I know the sample size is small at this point, but there is surely a lot of buzz around him.
As a rule, I keep expectations low for third-day draft picks in Year 1 and that's especially true this year without a physical offseason program. Martin has me reconsidering that stance. He's still a rookie and not flawless, but Martin has done everything in his power to show the game isn't too big, or fast, for him.

Guys, every year I learn more about football than the year before with insight gleaned from your contributions to II. Paul George has revealed the mental strain that the NBA "bubble" has created for him is very taxing. Though the NFL is not being played in a bubble, would you say that the mental side of the game will be more important than ever this year?
Without question. Success will be equal parts preparation, discipline and good fortune. As an organization, the Packers did everything they could to make this transition from virtual offseason to training camp to season as seamless as possible. That's gotten us to this point. Once the games start, the rest will be up to the players.
