Until we have 3 dlineman in the middle that can occupy blockers we will not have a good run defense.

I was tempted to applaud and quote Nerdman's post above, but I don't think he really believes it - that McCarthy should stick with what is a good idea - smaller quicker D Linemen. That can and will work in a pass-emphasizing league like we have now. The difference, though, as illustrated in the run stats from Yerko's post above, between the relative successes against the run and the bad games is when our Offense goes out and jumps on the other team, taking the run mostly out of their game, making it necessary for them to pass - putting 7's on the board, like Cheesey said - which we didn't do in the three losses.

As for the D Line, I thought Daniels showed flashes of playing as good as last season, but after playing solid for a few games, Guion kinda fell back. It was annoying how he repeatedly got shoved out of the way, then when the run was stopped 6 or 7 yards down field, there came Guion, ramming in from behind and pushing the pile FORWARD several yards.

The other key, which ain't gonna happen this season, but going forward will be getting some quality at ILB. Just having Brad Jones out of there helps, but Hawk has upped his game all the way to mediocre; Lattimore and Barrington are barely adequate at best. We could stop the run perfectly well with smaller quicker D Linemen or getting caught in the NASCAR on running plays IF we had decent ILB play.

Ohhh I have a direct message for the Packers D as well, however, this being a family bar an all, I'll keep the vulgarities to myself.

I do not think talent is an issue on the Packers roster, offensively, defensively or even special teams. What I see on defense is players play out of position and failing to maintain their (perceived on my part) assignment.

Lack of rust is the biggest issue with the Packers defense. It is hard to beat the man in front of you when you don't trust the man next to you.

Do. Your. Job!

There is too much covering for deficiencies that lead to more of what they are intended to mitigate.

Do. Your. Job! And good things will happen.

Use man to man coverage and let Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix roam like a rover.

Each player on defense studies the player across from them and works hard to beat him. Learn tendencies, weaknesses, strengths and just beat him!


If that doesn't work, screw it, turn the Madden difficulty down to ROOKIE.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious
dfosterf (26-Aug) : *Orzech*
dfosterf (26-Aug) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension
