Midseason Night Grades

[Joemailman]

Rodgers has 19 TD passes and 3 INT's (2 tipped) despite playing against 3 of the top 5 pass defenses in the NFL. His game against Miami was in his top 5 all time.

Lacy has been good the last 4 weeks averaging more than 5 YPC after a slow start. He and Starks are both averaging over 4 YPC despite running out of the shotgun most of the time, not an optimal running formation.

Crosby hasn't been good, he's been great. His only FG miss was blocked, and his kickoffs have been great.

Burnett has been very good. His absence at NO was a huge factor.

Other than those things, you're not too far off.

Didn't realize Lacy was coming on lately. Guess the image of Lacy getting stuffed for no gain on that infamous 4th and 1 play in the Saints game must still be playing in my head.

Burnett's absence hurt, but I thought Shield's hurt even more. With his great speed, Sammy woulda matched up well against Cook.

ILB is a bit harsh. But I would say no higher then a D

Granted, the Packers lack a run-stuffing fat DT, but ILBers/MLBers are supposed to be a runningback's worst nightmare. Hawk and his band of bums have thus far failed miserably to attack inside rushes.

I wouldn't say Shields was having a pro bowl season, but a solid season though.

Maybe I'm jacking off too much, and thus am losing memory brain cells, but I can't recall a time this season where Shields allowed a TD pass other than the simi-trick play where Jeffry reversed direction at the snap and caught Shields off guard.

I'm giving the TEs a D+. Oh heck, C-. Q has been OK.

Ok ain't J-Mike good.

If you are blaming Lacy for the failure of that play, you are completely and unequivocally wrong.

Decker got him in the Jets game.

Probably time to start taking better care of those brain cells. I think we have Shields for at least 3 TDs in only 6 games played.

I think all 3 hit a receiver actually.

Yep. 2 of them were right on. The last one that Adams got his hands on was off by quite a bit but looked like a miscommunication.
