Jaire Alexander said he likes playing off. Jaire also said his new coach (Greg Williams) has been working with him trying to get him to play closer to the WR. So, if you're referencing the distance the CB's are from WR's, it seems like the CB's are the ones doing that and the coaches aren't holding them accountable for what they are "coaching".

I have never much cared for more than five yard cushions. And its' been around the Packers throughout the last three defensive coordinators.

I don't know this, but I think they were also playing off at times to try and bait them which helped with the INTs and almost INTs. Which both Douglass and Nixon should of had an INT off Douglass playing off that final Raiders TD drive but they missed. So I think it's partly them playing mind games.

Regarding cushions and playing off man.

When you are in press coverage 1-2 yards off, AND, you are in man coverage,:
- you are relatively worthless in run support because the DB has to focus all of his attention on the WR and it becomes very difficult to peak into to see what the OL is doing AND they can be run off very easily.
- It is much easier to get burned as one false step and its over

If you are in Zone, you can press and drop and still be effective in run support because you have help over the top.

Ironically, it is easier if a CB is going to jump a route, to do so 6-8 yards off

Go Packers!!!!

This topic has kind of spun off in different directions.
I'm gonna bring it back to the original topic.
The amazing thing here, and I went back and checked.
The Detroit Lions ARE THE FIRST TEAM IN HISTORY to be crowned Division Champions after FIVE weeks of the season!
Congratulations Lions, are they going to have a parade and hang a banner?

Will any of you be there?

Everybody knew going into this year, it was going to be a roller-coaster ride.

You don't like The Gm of this team, find another team.

You don't like the coaches on this team, find another team.

You don't like the talent that is on this team, find another team.

All the complaining in the world ISN'T GOING TO CHANGE A THING!

Things to remember.
The Packers don't have a 1st ballot HOF qb.......yet
The Packers don't have any elite wr's....yet.
The Packers don't have any Pro Bowl Te's.....yet.
The Packers assumptiive strengths on offense, Rb's and O-line, mostly because of injury, has not materialized.

Nobody feels sorry for The Packers, and nobody in the organization is using injuries as an excuse.
At some point, productivity is going to suffer, especially if one group is hit hard.
The silver lining IT'S STILL EARLY IN THE SEASON!

Anybody that wants to crown The Detroit Lions as Division Champions after 5 weeks, that's your choice.

Don't expect me to agree!

F-CK THE DETROIT LIONS !

GO! PACK! GO!

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Also would like to add, if anyone thinks a guy earning 35 million or more to sit on the bench would be wasting his time here, fuck them!

Sometimes getting a lot of money kills the hunger that drove the player to earn the contract received. But no one is paid to $35 million or more to sit on the bench. Unless it's one helluva doctor!!! Hahahaha

Mucky Tundra (7h) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (8h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (14h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (14h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (15h) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (22h) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
