In other words, the Bears really suck... both teams they have faced are in the top 4...

---

What makes those pressure numbers look even more impressive is how rarely they've blitzed, which I think is near the lowest of any team.

Though another interesting stat is the Packers have been thrown at the fewest of all the teams. So that pressure % represents a comparitively small sample size. We'll see if they can keep that up if teams start throwing on them more often.

I think if the Packers to win they'll have to win both ways on the linemen battles...

Due to their injuries, their LT and LG look like weakness that hopefully the Packers can attack or get one on ones with, and win.

Their DL is not lighting it up as much as one would expect, of course they have faced Cowboys and Saints whom have pretty good OLs normally. Of course, the Packers OL hasn't been great either, with their strengths so far being Nijman and Runyan.


Speaking of which, of Bakhtiari does come back, I think the Packers might have an interesting choice on whom to bench...

Because it seems like they would bench the LT for Bakhtiari, but Nijman has been their best player.


I think it's fair to say, that based on PFF grades, so far... Newman and Jenkins have been the weak links... and note, Jenkins is knocking off rust and hasn't played in the right side much yet.

But if I'm trying to get the best 5 out there, I might try to keep Nijman out there with Bakhtiari and Jenkins.

Maybe Bakhtiari, Runyan, Myers, Jenkins, Nijman?

I think it was Larry M., who I was reading an article, he said Barry has yet to blitz this year.
I guess it's just not in Barry's gameplans.

Surprise surprise watkins out 4 weeks

Barry loves conservative coverage... leaving everyone in coverage and playing extremely heavy in zone coverage. He doesn't like man coverage at all...

It can work, as long as your front guys can consistently win without help, which is why the GM needs to keep the Packers front stacked or we're screwed with Barry as Defensive okay caller... (just like Packers were screwed with MM as offensive play caller if the WRs we're not deep... certain schemes (and coaches whom won't adjust their schemes to their teams) need certain things)... and Packers need a great front with Barry.


I'm still very disappointed that last year, with the edge rushers and DTs injured and banged up, that he didn't get more aggressive when the defensive front started getting tired later in the game and needed some breather...

He really should of gotten more aggressive to force the ball out sooner, to help the pass rushers, and even if they scored a quick touchdown (which is not good)... the defense hopefully would of still got a longer breather and but more ready for a longer drive the next time out (which is good)...

Sometimes it's alright to lose a battle, if it helps you overall to win the war...

Or force your stars to take a drive off, and force them to take a breather... that would also work...

Though, I think simply going higher risk and blitzing would of been the best call, I feel like sticking your tired injured and banged up defense front out there for a long very slow drive, was clearly the wrong choice...

And these were the Bears, Browns and Ravens games of last year. They just were extra banged up...


And yes, the Packers still won the games... but they game up 30 points to young backup QBs... and offenses that were generally struggling...

And yet...
