The SkinBasket saw a pretty good game last night. Well fought contest on the road that I would have looked at the schedule and chalked up to a loss even if Favre weren't playing for those fuckers. Despite some people claiming the Packer's were dominated in all facets of the game, I don't think that's accurate at all. It was a pretty balanced contest decided by in inordinate number of pivotal plays on both sides. Intangibles they call them. Well, intangibles and a real shitty offensive line.
That being said, we're four games in and some players who some people thought would be great or adequate are sucking cock on the field.
1) Deshawn Wynn: He made a block on a half hearted blitz last night against a DB. That's been the highlight of his season. I'm starting to miss Noah Herron. Or Morency. Or Tony fucking Fisher.
2) Chillar and Barnett. I'm grouping these two together because if you could take Barnett's head and put it on Chillar's body, we might have a serviceable LB. Even then, this new zombie LB might be better served to be headless. Barnett's body is slow and unresponsive. Chillar is an athlete, like some have claimed, but apparently he's too fucking dumb to run in the right direction every now and then. That and he likes turning his back to the play when blocked. Not sure if he's just giving up or he's getting ready in advance to chase the ball carrier down field.
3) Ryan Grant. Is sloooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww. Seems to have forgotten how to recognize a running lane as well. Yeah, he had a 4.5 YPC against the Vikings, but the Vikings obviously had a gameplan than wasn't very concerned about being beaten by Grant.
4) Our white FBs: They can't run that well. They miss blocks. Catching isn't their strong suit. 35 finally hit someone on special teams, but one nice ST tackle between them doesn't make them the ST demons that supposedly earned them both spots on the roster.
5) Jenkins: Has become the invisible man again. He sure looks nice in the preseason though.
6) Jarrett Bush: Man is he good at standing around the periphery of the field and looking busy. Sometimes this involves simply standing still and watching the other 10 guys play football on ST. Another ST "ace" that makes no special teams plays. The bonus is he can't play any defensive positions without looking like a retard.
7) That black guy who returns punts until he busts his leg every year: Ted really should have gotten a better grasp on this guy's propensity for injury before wasting a 4th round pick on him.
8) Jennings: Barely makes the list, but this guy has got to get open more. He wanted to be paid like a number one WR, now it's time to step up. Driver isn't demanding the attention he once did.
9) Aaron Rodgers facial hair: What's changed on the offense since the preseason? Yeah, they finally fired Ruvell Martin, but I'm talking about something that's actually important. Rodgers shaved. Stupid mistake.
Good game, but it exposed some of our players as pretenders. And some of our pretenders as sacks of poop. Time to heal up and practice blocking people and catching footballs that hit them in the hands for a couple weeks.
