Packers 2026/27 Season Thread



We won't know until the season starts but notable that Hafley played very little dime - maybe due to lack of quality personnel - but Gannon (AZ) and Babich (Buff) both played quite a bit, and Gannon also played more base formation. Hafley just sort of lived in nickel. Secondary is going to look different.

hafley wasn't the only one living in nickel. the falcons, ravens, cowboys, bears, texans, colts, patriots, eagles, 49ers, seahawks and titans all played a higher % of nickel than the packers. what was really interesting to me was how very little base was played by raven, bears and especially the seahawks.

Mike McDonald just stayed in it and didn't even try to match against an offense. Worked for them.
 
I'm not as studious or as concerned about the scheme as you guys.

What's important is our defense knows their assignments. They do what they're supposed to do. And they frickin' tackle - without needing the gang to show up.

It's not that complicated a game. Block the guy in the wrong jersey on offense so the pretty boys can score. On defense tackle and smack the guys in the wrong jersey.

Way too often - throughout this coaching tenure and then to be fair in previous ones - the Packers blame shit on missed assignments - and not in the first game. Late in the season. Like the Frickin' Bears games last year.

I really don't care what the scheme is. Just frickin' do it. And, at it's simplest, if they aren't in Green and Gold hit them
 
Tyrod Taylor deal is 1 year $3 million. $1.3 million base, $700 SB, $500K worth of per game roster bonus, $500k in other bonuses.
Back QB's cheaper then Tyrod Taylor right now

Drew Lock Seattle $2.75 million
Nick Mullins Jacksonville $2.5 million
Trey Lance LA Chargers $2.5 million
Tyler Huntley Baltimore $2.15 million
Kyle Allen Buffalo $1.9 million
Teddy Bridgewater Detroit $1.8 million
Tommy DeVito New England $1.55 million
Josh Johnson Cincy $1.5 million
Andy Dalton Philly $1.5 million
Jake Browning Tampa $1.33 million
Stetson Bennett LA Rams $1.31 million
Brandon Allen NY Giants $1.225 million
Spencer Rattler NOLA $1.159 million
Shedeur Sanders Cleveland $1.116 million
Bailey Zappe NY Jets $1.075 million
Joe Milton Dallas $1.075 million
Quinn Ewers $1.037 million


So it puts Taylor about middle of the league salary wise. Plus maybe you take a few of those guys over Taylor but for $3 million and his vet exp I think Taylor is a decent backup.
