My dad was a HS HC and then went on to coach defense at a small private college, he used to say that being fast and playing fast are two different things. Sometimes the guy that plays fast is a lot better then guy with pure wheels because they use technique and instincts to compensate for...
After a couple other players ( a WR comes to mind) with Red flags we should be steering clear of those type of players in my book. I could see them draft him and he gets tangled in camp and boom IR rookie year. :rolleyes:
The Packer D line will have to play their best game of the season to at least dampen the 49ers running game enough without having to put too many LBs and safeties in the box - If the Packers have to be too focused on stopping the run from killing them the 49ers are going to gouge them off play...
GB missed a FG, blew the end of the 1st half and lost the turnover battle. AAAAAAND still beat the sorry Bears for the 10th straight time!
GB is one of the youngest teams in NFL history to make the playoffs.
Jordan Love. Jesus ... How does GB keep finding these guys? If I'm a Bear, Viking...
One thing 4 and 12 did really well was throwing in bad weather conditions. I don't know if the wind was that big of a factor or if 10 was just regressing most of the night. He will likely have up/down games in the future. The key is minimizing it and not turning the ball over.
Silver lining...
There were a lot of great performances today. Rashan Gary, for one, played like a man possessed. When his team needed him most, Gary absolutely dominated. Major kudos to him for coming all the way back from a major injury. The man is a beast!
But the biggest plus of all…this is clearly Jordan...
Positives:
Jordan Love had another nice game. Again, stats won't show it but he did fine.
I thought the OL against a very good Steelers DL played pretty well, including Walker.
AJ Dillon with another solid game.
Negatives:
Christian Watson needs to be demoted behind Wicks now. 5 of Love's...
Where to begin. We are watching a team where 10/11 players on offense are on rookie deals. They will be inconsistent. I won't bother with Barry as that horse is dead.
One of the Love picks was egregious. The final one, the DB stuck his hand in Watson's chest to push him away and get leverage...
Overall thoughts after last night.
-I think Love is fine when he has to improvise...as a young QB. But when the pocket is collapsing every play...and you can't bail out because you have DEs who are rushing wide, there's just not much to do. He's inconsistent there. The two point vs the Saints...
While not dominate, Clark did have an amazing play sniffing out that screen pass early in the 3rd quarter. That heads up play right after Wyatt got that monster sack killed any chance by the bears to get some early 2nd half momentum. Honestly, that Wyatt sack and Clark breaking up the screen...
Jordan Love, we need to support him 100%. He deserves a shot like the last two. The beginging of Fave and Rodgers was shaky at times. Have to have faith and back the kid early and often even after the tough games.
Rodgers is what was, no longer needs to be anything but an after thought in Green Bay. I for one am looking forward to a season less his distractions no matter the record.
That report really has the AR crowd fired up because it backs McGinns take on the situation which plays back to Adam S report etc and so on.
Packers are working hard through channels setting up a narrative it seems. At the end of the day it's in Rodgers court, a simple I am done kills all the...
