Studs And Duds - Packers vs. Rams

[Joemailman]

Studs

Quentin Rollins - 2 INT's - 1 for a TD.
Julius Peppers - 1 sack and pressure which forced INT for TD.
Clay Matthews - 1.5 sacks and pressure all day. Clay is having his best season.
Ty Montgomery - 4 catches, 59 yards, 1 TD.
James Jones - 2 catches, 77 yards, 1 TD. TD was a great play when Packers offense really need one.

Duds

Aaron Rodgers - 3 turnovers
Eddie Lacy - 13 carries for 27 yards. Didn't have a lot of running room, but made some bad decisions.

Studs
Clay - Beast.

Rollins - Huge day from the rookie.

The defense in general - 4 picks, kept Bradford under pressure all day.

J. Jones - Catch and run was huge.


Duds
A. Rodgers - Not his best day. Didn't take care of the ball like he normally does (though to be fair both picks weren't bad decisions and the second one is questionable at best). Off all day in general.

R. Rodgers - Cost the Packers between 3-7 points on one drive.

Masthay - Hopefully he finds his way off this list at some point.

Injuries - still absurd.

I'll defend Masthay a little bit here. His gross was 47 with a net of 37. He had 1 bad punt, a 39 yarder that he put in the end zone. He had a 53 yarder that should have been downed by Janis inside the 5. If that had happened, his net would have been much better. The 2 other punts were 47 and 52 yards with basically no return. So the worst thing he did was make the Rams start at their own 20. I can live with that.

Honorable Mention Studs:

Mike Daniels -- Hustled all afternoon, 7 unassisted tackles, 1 tackle for loss

Micah Hyde -- All over the field, 5 unassisted tackles, 1 interception, 2 passes defensed

HaHa Clinton-Dix -- Made a TD-saving tackled, made game-ending interception, had a key pass defense. 6 unassisted tackles

Jayrone Elliott -- Made 3 unassisted tackles, one on Gurley that prevented a really long gainer

James Starks -- Ran with usual abandon, picked up key first downs, caught 3 passes

DickRod -- Lead team in pass receptions with six, made key first down catch/run

Datone Jones -- Three QB hurries and a blocked FG

Me -- For predicting Monty's big game


Honorable Mention Duds:

DickRod -- Dropped a dagger TD pass and made a bonehead hands to the face penalty that negated a Monty big gainer and first down

Good to see ya posting, Strike.

Bradford is getting his mail in Philly now.

D'oh.

Though honestly, they seem pretty interchangeable...

[Smidgeon]

It felt like the Buffalo game last year. The difference was the defense this year.

Jones gets both. Stud for the long TD, Dud for not coming back to the second INT.

[Tony Oday]

I can't give AR a dud...he was average.

[Pugger]

The best thing about yesterday's game is AR had a poor day by his standards but we still won because of our defense. Like Smidgeon said - this felt like the Buffalo game but the outcome is much different.

Bulaga playing 23 days after knee surgery, and playing reasonably well, deserves .... a medal? an investigation?
Even for the most minor cartilage repair, that is incredible turnaround. That isn't even enough time for a rehab to take hold.

That was an amazing accomplishment. Hope he is not swollen up today.

Only with pride, my friend. Only with pride.

Absolutely.

I was shocked to see him go out there.

He's a tough guy.

I got scoped a few years ago & that knee hurt for a lot longer than everybody told me it would.

I also saw why you were pimping for Walker to play RG.

He looks like a great kid.

Like to see him give TJ a blow next week and the bye.

That should get him healthy for the push to the end.

[smuggler]

So did Walker play well at LG? I heard talk he was pulled for Barclay at some point...

RG. I think Barclay came in for 1 series, and then Walker was back. Not sure why.

Yeah, following the bye Pack has back to back road games at Denver and Carolina. Would be nice to go into those games with some semblance of a full squad.

I am pretty sure I saw Tretter out there at some point too.

The sharp-eyed scouts in the game day thread noted he was blocking TE in the bent wishbone formation..

[Harlan Huckleby]

I've long forgotton why I STAND WITH WALKER; it is now a question of honor, loyalty and face-saving.

Yes, we had conflicting reports on Twitter but Joe has the more complete version from Silverstein.

Walker remains in second to Jones for the 2015 Bruce Wilkerson Award.

Well that's one new rule we understand at least.
