Remember when GB couldn't run block? Not any more. This is despite having to shuffle the OL over and over.

I forget which Sunday Night Football game I was watching, but they kept talking and showing this "duo block". Two OL would attack one guy, then one of the OL would block someone on the second level.

I thought, holy crap this is brilliant!! Then I noticed other teams doing it and now I'm wondering, do all teams do this?

I think it would work best for run blocking, but maybe smacking someone like Kahil Mack with two guys and after Mack gets knocked back, one of them OL moves down the field.

Lets hope it continues when it matters down the stretch. Jacksonville shouldn't hurt the stats much in this regard.

However, those stats will lessen considerably with he Bears twice Colts Eagles and Titans

I would like to see the same graph for the balance of the season...

Many/most teams do it. Some better than others. The key is to get enough movement/momentum so that one of you can slide off and go get a linebacker.

Conversely, this is why your DL has to hold up well against double-team/combo/duo blocks. When they get man-handled it really hampers LB pursuit and their ability to get their clean.

As far as the teams we face and their run defense prowess, the Bears are 14th. ( GB is 12th) The Colts are 3rd, Eagles 24th and Titans 17th.
GB has already faced TB and NO who are #1&2.

Kinda scary the Packers have struggled so much against the run when they have only faced two of the better run blocking OL.

And have to face four of the better run blocking OL I'm the second half of the season.

dfosterf (28m) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (29m) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (1h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (1h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (1h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (1h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (1h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (1h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (1h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (1h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (1h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (2h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (2h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (4h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (4h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (4h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (19h) : 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

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh
