Packers Pre Game

I'll also be watching all the games in Vegas. Skins are 5-0 when I watch out there. You're welcome.

Lololol. Never gets old.



Might be worthy of it's own thread each week

ESPN Packers reporter Rob Demovsky does not expect Christine Michael to "make much, if any, impact" on Sunday's game in Washington.

Especially for a player of Michael's track record, it would seem extremely aggressive to anticipate him making any immediate impact after one week of practice. Michael is likely to require at least two weeks with the Packers before he's ready for carries. The Packers already went through this with Knile Davis, and it didn't pan out.

Redskins' D different than last game vs. Packers, but must play better - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN (http://www.espn.com/blog/washington-redskins/post/_/id/28487/redskins-d-different-than-last-game-vs-packers-but-must-play-better)

Can the Redskins stop the run?


That was a big problem in the playoff loss and it has remained an issue for most of this season. The Packers hurt Washington with a lot of cutback runs in January and if the Redskins are not careful the same thing could happen Sunday. Green Bay ranks eighth in yards per carry at 4.56. But of their 922 rushing yards this season, 226 have come from Rodgers. In fact, he has scored all three rushing touchdowns as well. But with Eddie Lacy injured, the onus falls on James Starks, who is averaging 2.42 yards per carry. He hurt Washington last year and if he gets a little confidence early, it could change the tone of the game.

How are the Redskins different defensively than in last year’s game?





A big problem in that playoff loss was the inability to consistently pressure Rodgers, despite him playing behind a revamped line. But the Redskins have done a good job using a variety of looks to create more pressure. They’re using a speed lineup at times with Ryan Kerrigan, Preston Smith and Trent Murphy serving as down linemen and rookie Su’a Cravens rushing -- either off the edge or through the middle. It’s a productive group, though it can only be used a few times a game. But it’s a look they did not use last season and the rush was too inconsistent.

Need to keep using this package...

It has to be a dead-sure passing situation for that package. 3rd & 6 doesn't work, it will get run all over. It's got to be 2 minute defense and 3rd&10 or longer.

yeah, I get the thinking, but if there is a team that is struggling to run where this might work better, its Green Bay.

S'ua Cravens is our Wild Card. Use Cravens to spy Rodgers. Rodgers may escape the rush and run but he'll pay the price when he does. It's all about disrupting Rodgers' game. Make Rodgers aware that he could be facing a big hit from Cravens on every passing down. I'm making this my Ignorant Fan's Key to the Game.
I like this, I like this a lot [emoji38]

I like the "Ignorant Fan Keys to the Game" as a weekly thread title.

i like it being read by the commentators during the pregame as well.

"this week the ignorant fan keys to the game include;

cravens spying rodgers
trent murphy playing fb
and blitzing on every down"

SO MOVE TO VEGAS ALREADY! Seriously, it's the least you could do for your Warpath brethren.
