We've been down this road several times before, and while I don't mean to minimize the significant of losing Collins, I still disagree. The best communication and coverage in the world will only last so long. Eventually, an elite QB is going to throw someone open, especially the likes of a Jimmy Graham, Sproles, Nicks, Cruz, Calvin Johnson, etc. That's why you always hear the "plan" to disrupt elite QBs like Brady et. al. is to pressure them and make them uncomfortable. If they're standing still taking their time in the pocket, they're going to hit someone enough to score significant points. Defenses HAVE to find some way to make the QB uncomfortable in the pocket or it's going to be a LONG day for them.

Pass rush can mask a weak secondary, but a great secondary can only mask for a lack of pass rush to a certain extent. Eventually, some type of pressure is going to be necessary to make some key stops. Obviously that's just my opinion and there is no right or wrong, but there it is.

You're not saying anything I haven't said already or believe, but hey thanks for lecturing me as if I wasn't already aware of it! ๐Ÿ˜›

Let's see if I can fix my error in clarity here ...

Good pass rush > Good secondary.
Nick Collins > Cullen Jenkins.


The thing is, opposing QB's are getting rid of the ball fairly quick because the middle of the field is generally available. That's not something a pass rush would do a lot to fix, but damn right a pass rush would help!

Anyone know if there's a stud pass rusher in this years draft that the Packers can nab with the 32nd pick? ๐Ÿ™‚

Wait. That kind of contradicts. Collins = secondary. Jenkins = pass rush.

Yet you're saying the loss of Collins > loss of Jenkins?

I'm pretty sure I've posted these before but we played 5 games last year without Cullen Jenkins (Minnesota, at Detroit, at New England, New York, and Chicago). Here are the defensive passing statistics on a per game basis for those five games compared to our season averages:

Without Jenkins

Comp: 16.0
Att: 31.2
Comp %: 51.3%
Yards: 192.2
TD: 1.2
Int: 2.2
QB Rating: 53.9
Points Allowed: 15.6

With Jenkins

Comp: 18.5
Att: 32.9
Comp: 56.2%
Yards: 215.0
TD: 1.0
Int: 1.5
QB Rating: 67.2
Points Allowed: 15.0


The caveat of course is that in football you don't get the large sample sizes that you can in other sports to do conclusive statistical analysis. That said, those numbers are strikingly similar and outside of Drew Stanton we played some good quarterbacks in that group. Brady was the only one to even be efficient against us and he benefited from 3 dropped picks and a 70 yard kickoff return from an offensive lineman to set up a score.

I think losing Jenkins hurts but we played significantly better last year with essentially the same personnel available for the defensive line and linebackers. Hell, Raji had 3 of his 6.5 sacks last year when Jenkins wasn't playing. Other players like Jarius Wynn and Erik Walden got on the box score with sacks in his absence. There's a lot more to this than Jenkins leaving.

It'd be good for ya! Keep you in line!

While it's certainly possible to reply directly to that person, it's also an opportunity to go on a soapbox about related rhetoric. It happens all the time. But thanks for the update on forum etiquette overlord Zero. I'll be sure to take it to heart, you bet!
