Daniels has been our only pass rush from the D-line all year. Why on earth would anybody want to make in a LB?

As for Datone Jones, I am really looking forward to him getting off the schneid and making a big impact as a pass rusher. Pile up some sacks. Force some turnovers. he did make that really nice fumble recovery last week to help add the FG before the half.

1: He can get to the QB.

2: He's undersized for our DL.

3: The DL in our system is supposed to take up blockers, to allow the LBs to get to the QB.

2. He's not the right size for an OLB either. Plus he's been just as beastly at stopping run plays so I don't see how his size is relevant at all.

3. The nickle DL in our system is supposed to get to the QB and he's the only one whose been able to do it.

This isn't Madden. You can't just take players and have them all of a sudden play a completely different position. It's hard enough to successfully change a player's with an entire offseason, and you expect it to work out with three days of practice?

Of the healthy guys, I think the strength of this defense is the NTs (Pickett, Raji and Jolly) and Daniels. Packers defense is ranked 3rd best against the run... and I'm assuming part of the reason the Broncos are #1 is because teams stop running as much trying to keep up with the Broncos offense.

But I don't think they could get all the NTs on the field AND playing well in the Psycho package.

I think it'd be best to stay with in the system that's already in place, other than maybe try to get OLB some more depth there maybe by letting them using Datone Jones some and asking other DL to step up for Jones at push DT in the nickel package. Maybe get Raji, Jolly, Daniels, Wilson more snaps in the pass rush DT role if the can handle it with out dropping off what they were already doing.

I wouldn't count on it, but Boyd might even be active for his first game of the season (because of so many injuries)

His role will have to increase for this game considering the injuries. Put the best guys on the field for the situation.

I've seen Datone stand up a couple times against the Ravens.

As for Daniels. I think his height Is misleading, the guy is a big dude, that size gives him some advantage as well. The lower leverage wins everytime, he's got the advantage.

Zero2Cool (54m) : Luke Getsy been helping Packers defense. He's former OC Bears/Raiders and our old QB coach

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor
