Regarding the Vegas line, I guess they thought Cook would have a monster game?

I posted the tweet because when taken out of context, it looks like Rodgers being a gigantic asshole and shitting on the Vikings rookie CBs but I think he meant it as a diplomatic "They have potential, they just need seasoning" type of quotes (haven't watched any post game interviews).

Here’s something I was wondering about......the Packers second drive, all the way down to the Vikings one yard line.....they have this new beast (not our beast😁) running back Dillon, why didn’t they let him take a handoff at the one?
I know in the end it all worked out, but it would have been nice to see if the big guy could do it when called on.

Why didn't they? I'm going to say no preseason. He's a rookie and down there you want to roll with what you know works. I think if Packers got to see how he did in those situations in preseason then we'd have seen him. But Jamaal Williams is also a powerful back and I don't think they ran him in goal line, did they?

Like it or not, Dillion is a 4th string RB right now, his main duties include STs. And his future potential is high, but right now with 2 proven RBs that know what they're doing and coaches trust, vs a rookie with no OTAs, limited training camp, no preseason games... all the rookies are buried on the depth charts.

Except Martin but he's injured, speaking of which UDFA Barnes took Martin's spot and Barnes reportedly (according to one source, in which I want more sources to confirm) Barnes only played 16 snaps, but he was one of the leading tacklers... um, I'm not sure if that's good or bad yet, as they might of been targeting him which made his numbers high, BUT from what I saw, he looked solid, including a GREAT open field tackle from a screen play, which if he missed the ball carrier had open space and blockers.


Also the Vikings DL was weaker, but they never really seemed to give the Packers too much trouble, even with two injuries, line reshuffling and a rookie playing. I think someone from PFF mentioned, how they didn't think people were giving enough credit to Jenkins who was expected to play LG this season, then went to RT and had no troubles, then mid game, had to switch back to LG, and no troubles, switching position at ease. Also Runyan stepping in and looking fairly good.

Though again, Vikings are trying to rebuild their CBs and retool their DL, so everyone thought they might have EA down year, except the cocky head coach whom gladly points out has never had a bad defensive year, some Minneapolis reporters seem to be kinda happy that their reasonable questions about the defense might be a concern, instead of the head coach, our defense will always be good, I'm in charge head coach line, as they didn't seem to appreciate the dismissal of the (IMO reasonable concern) questions.

I am shocked to see that Rashan Gary played 32 snaps.
I barely noticed him out there during the course of the game.
I didn't see Oren Burks at all.

But the Vikings offense was on the field less than 20 mins of the game, so that might of made it harder to remember


I didn't notice Burks or Summers, but then again, I feel like I can't remember any of the ST plays for yesterday other than the Ervin letting the kickoff go over his head (like he's supposed to when it's that deep into the end zone).

Fan Shout
dfosterf (58m) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo
Zero2Cool (2h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat
wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.
wpr (22-Apr) : now 3
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?
beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
