Has Cobb become our #1 weapon? Jennings and Driver have felt quite average this season so far.

Still really uncomfortable with the O-line. Praying Sherrod comes back to 100% going into a playoff push.

Really liking the Benson pickup. I love having a pounding back with pretty decent hands as well.

We do have one of the best punters in the league.

CMIII still needs help on the pass rush. Fuck it is painful to see the QB have forever to throw a 20+ yard pass on our DBs on 3rd down all the time.

Good point about the punter. How quickly we forget, same with kicker.

It is really hard to get a clear view since the scab refs messed up so often. The defenses had the advantage.

I like what I have seen from Ceddy,Cobb and Shields.
AR, the OL have struggled.
There have been costly drops from both the receiving corps and the DBs.
As was mentioned the first Q of the schedule was a pretty tough one.

I can't decide how I feel about the defense yet. They are slightly improved over last year, I think. Much of the issues still remain from last year, however. They give up way too many yards in long yardage situations, they aren't stopping teams on 3rd down enough. Someone besides Clay Matthews needs to step up in the pass rush. I do think our tackling has improved, however. I think we need to play more man, and less zone.

I'm really pleased with Sam Shields play this season.

He always wants to showcase his speed. BUT, he's not afraid of contact. He's proving that now.

Sky's still the limit for him, but he's beginning to live up to that potential.

He's still relatively new to the position.

I'm losing trust in Dom Capers. That's probably the most important takeaway from the first quarter.

I was never concerned about the offensive struggles. They always figure it out and Cobb's increasing role has me excited. The flexibility he provides is unprecedented in McCarthy's tenure as head coach. This could be a fun year for the Packer offense. It may not put up the monster numbers it did a year ago, but it's going to rely less on big plays. That's a good thing, in my assessment. You can thank Cobb, Cedric Benson, and Mike McCarthy's play calling for that.

-Benson looks like a very solid pickup
-Pass rush is slightly better
-we still have too many players pulling up when blitzing
-Dom needs to stop these soft zones and playing our CBs 10 yards off the line
-Graham Harrell is awful
-McMillian has sick dreads, and is showing some rookie promise
-where did our short passing game go?
-Rodgers needs to get rid of the ball! remember that clock we were using in traing camp?
-Cobb's new role is awsome! and is playing great.
-way to many wide open recievers, against SF and NO specificly
-Hawk has been taking crazy pills

They've given up 4 of 6 four down conversions, yikes.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”
Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though
TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes
Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
