He could easily run up the list of my favorite players on this team. He looks smart and beastly already. Super impressed and nothing like a Center who can dominate.

The center taken one pick before Creed by the Pack is on the struggle bus.

And people wonder why Rodgers wants to GTFO of Green Bay.

This dude is what people mean when they say “corn fed”

Such a pleasant change from the likes of Reiter, who could barely stay in front of his man, let alone move him

Trust Andy with my life. But it's still surprising. Less about creed, more about what happens if you have to pull a backup who snaps righty in during a game.

I agree. And did anyone shed a little tear hearing Mahomes yell "call it" during the game? The leadership on such a young qb is off the charts. He's going to learn the game super quick but it also helps to have a qb who knows how to push him along the way. Lamar wouldn't have even known there was anything to call.

Can’t wait to read Baldy’s write ups about the kid during the regular season when he’s pancaking defenders.

If he trusts his interior line, and indeed steps up into the pocket, and delivers the rock.

I’ll have to take your word for it and familiarize myself with Trey Smith. I’m just stoked at the possibility of having our best center since Rodney Hudson.

By all reports Smith is flat out dominating right now and could end up being the steal of the draft considering we got him in the 6th round.

Love Creed, but Morse was really, really good.

Yeah Mitch was solid, but Humphrey is a very clear cut above IMO... he's just as technically proficient but is bigger, stronger, and a mauler at heart

LMAO Again, I love Creed, but where are you getting this nonsense? Bigger? Clearly not. Stronger? Creed did 29 reps at his pro day while Mitch did 36, IIRC, at the Combine.

I hope Creed is the better player and that it happens soon. But, I don't understand the need to literally make up **** in an effort to make that point.

Mitch is getting north of $11 million a year and that's due to him being really ****ing good. Getting Mitch certainly didn't hurt his QB's development.

Mitch was stronger but was raw at the position for awhile. Creed is a much better technician who understands how to use leverage and hand usage.

He isn’t stronger than Mitch but it’s not usually the strongest that win. It’s the technicians.

I missed that. What happened?

You may be right about those bench numbers, I'll take your word for it

Creed is an inch shorter, but at least 10 pounds heavier... and from what I've seen he is absolutely a stouter presence at center, far more capable of drive blocking

If I could choose between both as rookies, knowing what we know so far... I'm taking Creed 8 days a week

Our offensive line is looking strong.

Brown and Smith are beasts, Thuney is a great technician and Creed looks like one of these guys with natural leverage that makes him hard to move. Niang is just huge.

Good start so far.

Absolute robbery getting this guy. Man I’m glad he fell. He was a first rd talent that fell to us at the end of rd 2 LMAO

Looks like Round 2 was very good. Humphrey and Bolton are impressive already.

Give Creed a little time. That was his first NFL game

You get it! :thumb:

My only critique are his snaps. A few seemed to float a bit. Heck will get that fixed though.

Fantastic pick so far.

I think we had 3 or 4 penalties on O Line. Holding and 2 false starts that I remember. Not bad against that Cleveland rush. They are tough.

I saw some good blocks by CEH to slow down the rush.

The hold on Thuney was absolute bullshit too. Thuney had his man locked up and stonewalled. That was a pity flag for a guy getting his ass whooped.

Creed is a leftie but I swear I saw him snapping right handed. Was I mistaken?

I didnt see many replays yesterday. Missed a lot of stuff.

Also really weird was my cable feed on National TV was 30-60 seconds behind my buddy on East Coast. He told me what happened before I saw on TV.

I hope someone posts a gif. It was one of the worst holding calls I can remember.

Cost us a TD. The offense literally scored at will on that Browns defense

Watching “Inside the NFL” (on Paramount+ this year instead of Showtime, weird), and they showed a 4 second clip of something interesting that Creed does, that, holy shit, is awesome and probably led to some offsides in addition to our crowd noise and Pat’s hard-count.

He twitches his fingers on the ball like he’s playing the piano. I’ve never seen it before. Dude grips and re-grips and re-grips the ball with just his fingers and is DEFINITELY going to cause some dudes to jump early this year.

I really hope someone else caught this…

This dude is another reason PFF is bullshit.

He had 41 pass blocking snaps. He allowed 0 sacks, hits, or pressures. He graded out at like a 70 in pass protection and was about middle of the pack leaguewide.

Keep in mind, we were trailing so the Browns knew we would be passing (also because Mahomes but especially when trailing).

How the **** does that level of performance equal a 70 in pass protection?

Well, he had 11 expected pressures for the game, which are pressures that SHOULD have taken place.

He and Mahomes really need to concern themselves with their expected stats more than the real ones if they ever want to see their PFF scores go up.

Lol what is an expected pressure? How is that even determined?

Like Mahomes high potential INT quotient that made him ranked the 4th best QB per PFF

Not true, he offered to learn to snap right handed but Mahomes told him he should stay with his left.

Those snaps made me very nervous. Few floated, few rocketed flat and low. Mahomes has amazing hands, but I was worried one was going to shoot over his head. Hopefully it was mostly nerves from his first start.

They graded his pass protection closer to 80 I think, which is elite, and excellent for a rookie. The mystery is given they're as bullish as anyone on the "passing game matters more than anything" argument, how was his overall grade closer to 70?

Creed played like refried ass this week.

Creed played like the band he was named after

He has to fix his snaps. Never seen slower shotgun snaps.

Dudes snaps look like Russel Wilson's deep ball

He certainly didn’t play that last snap… With Arms Wide Open.

Went back and watched that last snap. This guy’s ****ing terrible.

Veach’s best draft pick. The kid is going to be an elite C by mid season

I’d say Trey Smith is his best pick even if Creed is the best player. Trey is a steal.

If Sneed continues to develop into a great corner, that might be my choice for his best pick.

Humphrey was a second round pick. Everyone knew Trey Smith had talent, but Veach took a chance on the medicals.

Sneed was way off the radar by comparison.

That's pretty fair, I was just talking about this draft class.

I was targeting Creed when we had a 1st round pick.

He forgot about Trey

Pretty clearly.

Love this dude.

5 of the top 10 are AFCW. Wow...

I wonder where Trey lands on the list...

Sneed looked great but in limited snaps. He's been asked to do a lot more this year and hasn't looked as good. I think he's still a great under the radar find, but Smith barring injuries is going to have played a lot more snaps by the end of his rookie year in comparison and been more consistent. For a 6R pick that's incredible.

Trey should definitely be above Javonte Williams.

I think an argument could be made that Creed and Trey are 5A and 5B....

I agree 100%... I just watched a 15 minute video analyzing his performance so far this season. While not 100% mistake free, he's playing well above rookie level for a lot higher pick. Seems every season Veach takes a major weakness and dramatically improves the position. Give this group a couple seasons together to gell as one cohesive unit.... Holy cow.

*Except defensive front 7.

Probably getting a taint sample to see if it smells as bad as mahi mikes old lady’s boner garage.

What if all of our fumbling issues are directly related to the new brand of duck butter creed is serving up?

Yeah, but I was told since he graded out really good in college, his performance as a rookie isn't a surprise and is to be expected. :rolleyes:

I wish we could go back and not draft Creed. Just not good positional value.

The interior of our Oline is only going to get better. Having a power running game will fit really well if we would just do it.

Throwing off the playaction should help Mahomes

We need s Jerome Bettis type back.

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/..._AC_SY445_.jpg

He's out there, just waiting for the call.

Andy doesn't seem to like power backs.

We had a decent one in Carlos Hyde in 2019, but we traded him to Houston.

Agree re Reid

But our Oline is built for it. Might be time for him to try new things.

Why? It's not important that we have a RB that can plow people.

Just one that can get plus yards. Why would plowing people be better?

The type of back doesn't have to match the physicality of the offensive line. Emmitt Smith wasn't a 'power back'. Priest Holmes was not a 'power back'.

We just need to commit to the run more. 55/45 pass/run. Just do it. Sometimes it won't look awesome, but it WILL open things up in the passing game, especially late in the game.

Really?

A power running game wears down a defense. A power back will get that extra 2/3 yards even after contact. A good power back can makes the play-action pass really dangerous.

It doesn't mean we can't use Gore/Williams too. When a Defensive line really pinches down though, a bigger power back can still blow it up.

He's sign for league minimum and a medical marijuana card.
