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!

Hahahaha

beast (3h) : Oh yes, sometimes they make using a cellphone tough. I just wanted to make sure it was the correct article, & thank you for pointing it out.

jdlax (4h) : I can't believe one of my teams went out and wablammo just up and acquired one of the best players in the world overnight

dfosterf (9h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (9h) : I accept Beast's admonishment regarding my failure to link stuff I reference. I simply never learned to link from my cell phone.

beast (9h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down

Zero2Cool (14h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (14h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

Zero2Cool (15h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Packers just cost Lions more money with Hutchinson too huh

Zero2Cool (16h) : That is fair by me.

buckeyepackfan (16h) : Kenny Clark is the player, 2 1st rnd picks

Zero2Cool (16h) : umm... what?

wpr (17h) : I am stunned

Mucky Tundra (17h) : RICKEY SCOOPS WAS RIGHT AGAIN!!!

Mucky Tundra (17h) : ITS HAPPENING

buckeyepackfan (17h) : DEAL IS DONE

buckeyepackfan (17h) : MICAH IS COMING TO GREEN BAY!!!!!!!!!

wpr (23h) : Me do-ed it gooderly,

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

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

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.

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
