Also Rodgers just put a target on the back of Russ Ball. LaFleur got a shot, Murphy got a shot, Gute took the brunt of the heat, but Russ actually got complemented…the only one to kiss his ass and mean it. Of the 4 key leadership personnel, he’s the odd man out.
Can we also take a moment and...
So I’m assuming Rodgers also has an issue with how he assumed his position in GB at the expense of Brett Favre? It’s about people not the business after all. It is always disappointing the way players get treated by teams, but it seems like that issue is a larger philosophical issue with how the...
Bad match up for us, I say stay healthy and see how it plays out. Losing a bunch of starters to injury at this point is worse then losing this game.tc(
It can’t be understated how much that Bears front 7 ****s up any gameplanning. They’re stacked across the board with not just good players, but elite players. 90% of the rhythm and OL issues were the DL just going wild. OL got enough of them to make some key plays though, big props for that...
He’s 30, coming off a foot injury which are tough for heavy DL, and his cap number was high. High effort and character guy, but our DL depth is solid and that $8.3M savings could be used elsewhere. Tough business, glad they did it before camp though so he can get on with another team.
Great news! People wanted a young innovator who would do things differently than MM, this is your guy. Not a retread. Good news that he’s keeping Pettine, now our guys get to build on what they accomplished and move forward. Coaches that favor one side or the other often fail because they don’t...
I assumed he was brought in to help improve the running game and to stabilize the gameday preparation. Philbin always struck me as a guy who is very professional and is a good/great position coach. McCarthy has had a lot of good assistants come through who fit that bill as a good/great position...
This was a good measuring stick for this team. They’re good, they’re not good enough to win these big games. When healthy the offense and defense can compete and win against the best units in the NFL, they just need to play a complete game as a team. Hope they have a short memory because next...
Let's be realistic,
There's some talent to work with on the defensive side of the ball, but it needs to be developed and we need a lot of luck on the injury front. We have zero depth at LB... unless Gilbert continues to improve. Fackrell will likely be cut, I don't think Burks can contribute...
I didn't realize he was Mike Goodson's brother, who has also been suspended in the past. Family is bad at drug tests!
Oh well, he was #5 on the depth chart and we will probably draft another CB. He was likely toast anyway.
Don't hate the move but don't love it. Signed a camp body that can take snaps off the 2 starters in those first 2 preseason games if nothing else. If gets better might make the roster if he sucks you cut bait. Low risk move. But seriously Mark said best. Meh
If all they do is bring in Janis and have him run go routes in 4 WR sets, it would free up so much space for Adams/Cobb working in the slot. Rodgers does nothing lining up in the slot as anyone smaller than him blankets him (and he can't break tackles) and anyone bigger than him just stuffs him...
Studs
Aaron Rodgers - 18-23, 189, 3 TD 0 INT
James Jones - 4-51, 2 TD's (Shoulda been 3)
Lacy - 19-85, 1 TD Bounced it outside a bit too much, but ran hard inside.
Clay Matthews - Key INT and great play to run down Forte
Special Teams - Other than penalty on Shields, who had a bad day...
Neither Jones nor the soon-to-be-suspended Guion will count against the 53 once placed on reserve/suspended list at the end of camp, so that opens up a short term opportunity for some young guys.
