Some believe the Green Bay Packers will have to dink and dunk their way to success on offense for the rest of the year. Defenses will never catch on to that.
The post Is Dink and Dunk Green Bay’s Road to Success? appeared first on Total Packers.

It's not "dink and dunk." It's high percentage passing.

It works better if you can send somebody deep when the DBs start jumping routes. Also works better wih screens and traps.

We've got guys who can get deep.

It's called classic West Coast offense, which we use to run quite a bit until McCarthy implemented his home run offense. The classic west coast offense is also about controlling time of possession and keeping your defense fresh. But the biggest problems we have are red zone offense and short yardage running. We just don't have the road graders on the offensive line, and it is frustrating and amusing that McCarthy continues to try to force power running with a finesse offensive line. How arrogant and stubborn is that man anyway?

It won't hold up until they start hitting intermediate level stuff inside the numbers. Most of these plays are still either deep attempts or short/isolation stuff near the sideline. We are still rarely using slants or anything in the seam. It worked against the Bears because Davante was winning his 1 on 1s against Chicago's god awful DBs.

Until Mccarthy gets more away from the idea that his WRs have to consistently win those Iso routes against their DB the offense won't perform against a decent defense. (Though after a year of not really doing much to help WRs when they obviously aren't doing well against man coverage I don't think it will happen)

If they continue to use this approach, the safeties will have to start playing closer to the line and create opportunities down the field.

Patient playcalling made the difference against Chicago. The big gaudy plays weren't all over the hilights, but the final score is what counts.

Treat it like war (which is what football basically is).

If your opponents are mainly deep in their own territory, do you use 2-3 bring planes out there to hope they can defeat the 5-6 planes that are being used by the enemy as patrolling? No. You work methodically by taking land gradually where there are no enemies in the short ground and make them have to come closer which gives you opportunities to attack them deep.

The RB situation may force Mike to go wih a more WCO based running game.

Using Jordy in the slot should make Mike far more likely to run some slants and whatnot. Dude is strictly a possession guy right now.

I don't like the writer but its an interesting theory to debate. I think "dink and dunk" can work against most teams the Packers will face. However when the playoffs come around they better have some sort of a run game they can rely on, this won't work against an elite defense in January.

We should have Cook back by then. Hopefully Jordy will be smoother by then too. It seems to me that part of his issue is that he re tweaked that knee. Not sure though.

Still, by then, one of those guys to can line up outside has to step up and show they can get it done. Hnonestly, I'm more worried about the defense in the post season.

Still miss the one step drop and throw slant from Favre to whoever was WR, that ball came out so fast no lineman was able to get his hands on the passing lane. Every WR should line up in any position and run any route. Intermediate and deep routes will open up as defenses start cheating to defend the short stuff.

And Rodgers needs to stay under Center. Forcing defenses to have a man over C.

The worst thing about it is that's one of Rodgers best routes IMO. He generally leads the receivers perfectly and his release is so fast defenders don't get there before the WR has time to make some moves. For some reason this offense has been allergic to anything inside the numbers or past 5ish yards lately.

    Zero2Cool (2h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
    Zero2Cool (2h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
    bboystyle (2h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
    Zero2Cool (2h) : Ahh, ok.
    bboystyle (2h) : yes due to tie breaker
    Zero2Cool (2h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
    Zero2Cool (2h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
    bboystyle (2h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
    Mucky Tundra (3h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
    beast (4h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
    beast (4h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
    Zero2Cool (4h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
    bboystyle (4h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
    Mucky Tundra (4h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
    Zero2Cool (4h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
    beast (5h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
    packerfanoutwest (5h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
    Zero2Cool (6h) : I see what you did there Mucky
    Zero2Cool (6h) : dammit. 3:25pm
    Zero2Cool (6h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
    Mucky Tundra (6h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

    Zero2Cool (6h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
    Zero2Cool (7h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
    beast (7h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
    Zero2Cool (8h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
    Zero2Cool (8h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
    packerfanoutwest (8h) : ok I stand corrected
    Zero2Cool (8h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
    Zero2Cool (8h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
    beast (8h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
    beast (8h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
    Zero2Cool (9h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
    beast (9h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
    beast (9h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
    beast (9h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
    Zero2Cool (9h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
    Zero2Cool (9h) : I literally just said it.
    packerfanoutwest (9h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
    Zero2Cool (9h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
    Zero2Cool (9h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.
    packerfanoutwest (9h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what
    Zero2Cool (9h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.
    packerfanoutwest (9h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in
    packerfanoutwest (9h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker
    packerfanoutwest (9h) : if bucs win out they win their division
    beast (9h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us
    packerfanoutwest (9h) : falcons are already ahead of us
    beast (9h) : Packers will get in
