    Studs and Duds Packers Lions

    Black Friday edition of Studs and Duds. Much of this has been covered in the game and other threads, but after a great game like this let's kick this topic around. I'll hit some of the main guys:

    Jordan Love 22/32 for 268 and 3 TDs. More importantly, no picks, no sacks and busted off a nice run to pick up a key 1st down. He showed poise, command and all the elements you love to see in your young guys. A pivotal performance by the young and future QB

    Rashan Gary. The Pack looks very wise in keeping Gary on the pitch count early in the season. Rashan had a dominant ballgame. 3 sacks, forced fumbles, game changing plays all over the place. Gary tore up his knee last year vs the Lions. Revenge is a dish best served on Turkey day, eh?

    Tucker Kraft
    Another youngblood who is rapidly maturing. Is Kraft's performance mean the 3rd round jinx is broken? A little early to make that statement, but the kid has made great progress and is a viable option. Kraft ran that slip screen to perfection for the TD. Improving game to game as a blocker.

    Robert Rochelle Who? I'll close off my list of the S&D's with an unknown, but man I loved his one play. Rochelle is the guy who made the save on the punt knocking it back to Zayne Anderson to put those Leos in a hole. Rich B's bomb squad boys are finally making plays.

    I left off several studs (there were no duds) so have at it boys.

    Kenny Clark with 8 pressures and 2 QB hits. Maybe his best game this year.

    Two players that I thought struggled during the game:

    TJ Slaton- not much to speak of in run or pass defense
    Ballantine- picked on by Goff most of the game

    Some other notables:
    Cobb/Lazard/Lewis/Tonyan- players we rightfully moved on from that have a whopping grand total of 32 catches for 392 yards.

    Harlow borrowed that igloo set from a local middle school show production of "Frozen".

    I'm ashamed that that boy is from Kentucky.

    My suspicions were right on Ballentine.
    Worst rated player by PFF, missed 3 tackles and gave up 9 catches for 171 yards and a 149.1 passer rating.
    Slaton was 3 rd worst (Anthony Johnson 2nd).

    I looked at my friend on that play and said "holy shit, some guy I never heard of just made a great play that was finished by some other guy I barely heard of"
