The Good, the Bad, and the Great: Week 11 Edition

Damn that was awesome. We are going to see a lot more of this in the coming weeks.

especially if they keep giving him 20 snaps a game - as long as they put him in situationally rather than rotationally and he's used heavily when we are in a lead then we'll have more chances of seeing more of this in the future
 
See @rossihunter2 's post for reply. We run play action: guys are open and Joe has time (Ben Watson's catch and run was also a result of that). What to do after that? Eh, Shotgun seems like a great idea.
Right, and that's my point. I don't quite understand the play calling. Joe has always worked well from the shotgun, also sugar/no huddle. And like I said there are glimpses of imagination, then right back to vanilla. weird

Yeah, I hope they do continue to give him atleast this amount.
 
and here you all go:

the timmy williams gif you all needed to see - he's rushing against the right tackle

DAMN Timmy’s future gets me so freaking excited.
 
Watt could be a star in the league.....pretty seasoned looking and well rounded backer already.
Yes he could, of course we had already taken our first rounder. On day two I was pounding the table for TWill or Lawson. To think we could have had both us crazy.

it's like someone else scripted the first 5-6 plays of the first offensive drive and then they gave the keys back to marty and he went back to doing what he's been doing all season

i think i saw a stat where lawson is on track to have as many/more pressures than von miller in his rookie year
 
One or two plays before that, he doesn't get a pressure per se, but he tosses the RT around in a very impressive way.

yeah im going back and watching the whole drive

here's that drive

1st play: he gets some decent push against the right tackle but doesnt really do enough to disengage him
2nd play: its a run play and the right tackle gets some help from the right guard before he goes back to another block - timmy gets a lot of push into the backfield, disengages and could make a play at the LoS against the rb but cant quite reach the ankles of the runner
3rd play: timmy absolutely bullies the right tackle and forces hundley to move out of the pocket to the right, timmy then gets blocked out of the play trying to turn back and give chase but has already affected the play and hundley has to roll right and throw it away - on this play timmy engages the right tackle and then gets him off balance with a violent punch and rip to the inside
4th play: he's taken off the field on 3rd and 3 - the ravens are in man coverage and hundley keeps it and runs down the field for an easy first down
5th play:

6th play: timmy runs up field and gets blocked on the draw play that goes for no gain
7th play: he rushes but gets no pressure on 3rd and 5 (this is the play where jordy nelson got a half step on marlon down the field but the ball was overthrown)


overall this drive tells me a few things:
timmy can do it and he can do it well
but his usage is still wrong - i like that he's seeing more snaps but he needs to be used more effectively - this drive showed me that they are kind of moving that way by taking him off the field on 3rd and short, but keeping him in on most of this drive because the packers are chasing the game and therefore have a higher tendency to throw - that said id like to see him coming in on other drives too as a situational rusher in 3rd and longs - this one drive was virtually a 3rd of all his defensive snaps in the game
 
He needs to show it consistently so he can push for play time. And do it against quality opinnents. Before this he was pretty handled in his snaps.

that's not true at all - he destroyed joe thomas twice off the edge, he beat penn twice vs the raiders (in 8 snaps) among others - when he gets rush snaps he beats anyone - he just needs to be consistent like you say but also needs to be used more situationally
 
I'm not excited about this win. With the injuries to their Oline and running back this packers team is a 1-15,2-14 team without Rodgers. The defense is terrible!! The Oline is vastly overrated and helped by Rodgers who gets rid of the ball really fast. So it is banged up and not really that good when running on all its cylinders. And the WRs are pathetic. Nelson has lost several steps. Adams is very inconsistent with the best QB in the league throwing him the ball. Enter Hundley and he is a below average receiver. He gets very little to no separation but Rodgers finds a way to get the ball to him. And Cobb is a different player than the one drafted. He looks very slow. Some players lose speed at a younger age like Dez Bryant and Cobb. I don't think The packers win any games left on their schedule.

If An even average QB like McCarron and Hoyer played for the Browns then the Browns would thrash the packer. I said for a couple yrs now the packers management is incompetent. The packers are a bad team with terrible management being carried by a ridiculously good QB. Im not at all impressed with the ravens for beating them. The packers are better off losing out and getting Rodgers some help
You don't have to be excited about this win. The good thing is that we beat them and beat them handily. Sure it would have been a much different game with ARod in the game. Lets also not forget less than a week ago you wanted to see how Humphrey would be on Adams.

This is some pretty crazy shit. Yeah Green Bay is an exceptionally injured team by any measurable standard, but it is really difficult to hold any team to 0 points.

Even with a backup QB, that doesn't change the fact that experienced receivers struggled to get open against the Ravens secondary and the Ravens defense generated pretty regular pressure.

I get that it is Green Bay without Rodgers, Matthews, King, Burnett, Bulaga, Matthews, etc. and it definitely shouldn't be treated like a Super Bowl win or anything. But to completely discount the game because the Packers are currently bad is stupid, especially in light of some amazing individual efforts yesterday.

You know he won’t acknowledge Humphrey.
 
What do you mean me. I’m not the only member that really likes what he’s doing.

The you wasnt being used as a noun there but as an adverb modifying will. I could have substituted it for a there I guess.

Basically a lot of boards made up there mind about Humphrey so they will ignore every good thing he does and only focus only on the negatives because they can't acceot being wrong about a player and will only change there minds as a last resort. I call it Skip Bayless syndrome.

Bayless is an idiot. I don't pay attention to anything he says anymore.
