Fackrell Rules The World

[pbmax]

Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky
All three of Kyler Fackrell's sacks came in the fourth quarter, when the Bills were in a must-pass mode. Fackrell's playing time has increased from four snaps in the opener to 13 in Week 2 to 23 in Week 3 to a season-high 26 in...

4 snaps in Week 1? What the Fack were they thinking?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Unleash Fackrell!

[mraynrand]

At the rate he's going, he'll have 3 sacks next week.

[Tony Oday]

At this rate we will have his name on the stadium by the end of the year.

[Joemailman]

Unleash Fackrell!

He's the Aaron Jones of OLB's.

[mraynrand]

That's a Fack Sack!*

*Wait, that doesn't sound right.... :oops:

[wist43]

Fackrell has no business on an NFL roster... terrible player.

For next year Fackrell, Ryan, Morrison, and the other recent addition (name escaped me) all need to be replaced. Matthews and Perry are both borderline players.

Green Bay has the worst set of LB'ers in the league.

[texaspackerbacker]

It's always hard to tell where the sarcasm ends and the bitterness begins in here. Fackrell has never been quite as bad as detractors claim. He needs to play at least a couple more games like he did against the Bills to prove he's for real. It could be that we just went up against an O Line that was even worse than our own. Fackrell has always been fast. He should be smart - being a little older than most 2nd year players. He maybe needs some added muscle. I still think he could be at least a decent rotational player.

I agree that he was and is a bit on skinny side. But he has plenty of upside.

[Tony Oday]

When the announcers call his name it sounds like Fat Girl

[pbmax]

Damn. Forgot to include the word Official in the title.

[pbmax]

:lol: Help me out on what to expect next.

Sequential? Will he get 3 or be back to 0 for two weeks?

Linear growth trend line? Pro Bowl alternate

Quadratic? All Pro snub

Exponential? Hall of Fame in six years like Terrell Davis

[Harlan Huckleby]

Watching Vaughn Miller tonight, that guy's got nothing on the Fackrell.

Fackrell is younger, hungrier, leaner and meaner.

Andy Herman @SconnieSports
Only Kyler Fackrell could manage a negative grade on a play he was credited for a sack on.
(For the record Fackrell never touched him, Allen tripped over his own lineman and it should have been a play on).
This is why you can’t always trust a box score ; )

It still counts. Doesn't have to be pretty. Or planned. Or well executed. Taking out a teammate is completely expected.

Honestly, any pressure is good. He forced an O lineman into the QBs path and Fack cut off the QBs escape route. Wasn't pretty at all but he completely screwed up the offensive play. All we are asking really.

[Fritz]

For the life of me I do not understand, after he clearly beat his man inside, why he kept crossing in front of the quarterback instead of turning upfield. Was the offensive lineman's seemingly slight hand push enough to keep Fackrell going past the QB? It's almost as if Fackrell thinks the Bills' left guard is the quarterback, cuz that's who he seems to be rushing.

And that's a Fack.

[pbmax]

What was Kyler aiming at? It was an inside stunt to allow Clark to loop around inside.

But what was his target?

EDIT: sorry, mostly repeat of Fritz, but hey, speculation follows...

Did he get bumped or trip or was he trying to chip Matthews blocker off him?

[Upnorth]

The more I watch that gif, the more i laugh. Its like he is participating in a three stooges skit.

[Fritz]

Man, once he gets inside, if he changes direction and gets upfield Allen is right there.

[run pMc]

and if Clark stayed on his feet he would've had the sack. I couldn't believe Fackrell got credited for 3 sacks...thought that was about double what he should've gotten.

I did appreciate him blowing kisses to the haters/crowd.

If he could show that he can consistently cover, or speed rush then he might have more value. As it is he's a good ST player but he really shouldn't be more than OLB #5. Yes, I know they only have 4 OLBs on the depth chart.

I don't think he's horrible, but if ST ace is his ceiling they could have found comparable production from a lower round pick or UDFA.

Who's the bigger R3 flop - Fackrell or Montravious? I guess we should give them both the whole season to decide.

[Smidgeon]

I think Fackrell just figured out that RT at the end of the game. It's like finding a glitch in Madden. You exploit it often to get the sack (don't know about the new one, but back in Madden '04, if you called a certain play and shifted the D-line, the O-line wouldn't even try to block you; it was a sack up the gut on every play).

[pbmax]

The best part of that play in Ponch running up to Allen at the end like something exciting was going to happen.

Second Fack speculation, maybe he was concussed? Or dizzy from earlier sack?

[denverYooper]

Fackrell has created a new category: the trip-sack

[denverYooper]

You guys just wait. Fackrell is going to make a critical sack in the superbowl when Bortles runs right into him and falls over.

It will be his Jarrett Bush moment.

[Fritz]

I wish I hadn't seen that clip. Now I don't feel so great about Fackrell any more. That o-lineman tossed him around like a pizza dough.

EDIT: sorry, mostly repeat of Fritz, but hey, speculation follows...

He looks like a fullback trying to open a lane for the halfback (Martinez). Only the halfback got swallowed up by the turf monster and didn't come blasting through the hole until five seconds later.

[pbmax]

I have it!

Left foot injury, he couldn't plant and turn. Next step he got caught by OT and shoved.

[run pMc]

Watching that clip, it looks like he was trying to bull rush the RG instead of squeezing between LG and LT. He took out both Clay and the RG.

[pbmax]

^ Can't see Clay at the start of the play, but it looks like a double T-E twist stunt. End goes inside to tie-up Guard and OT, D Tackle loops outside hoping to find a vacated lane.

But I wonder if this pretty standard stunt has a twist. Are Clay and Kyler supposed to knock the Guards together? Literally meet in the middle and hope someone falls down?

It would serve two or three functions: confuse the pocket, making escape up the middle harder. Without a step up, you might put the QB in reach of a looping DT. And if a Guard falls down, then an End is free to the QB.

Fackrell should have recognized that the OT followed him and not the Guard, making the possible collision in the middle half as effective. But he had more than a step on the tackle and should have headed right for the QB.

How true that is.

If your thesis is correct - that Fack was supposed to meet in the middle, then he may have revealed one of his faults - he's so wedded to the plan that he can't see or can't take advantage of the very real opportunity to make a play that presents itself to him.

That big day of his don't seem so big no more.

Watched it while listening to Yakety Sax. Works great.

Hope Fack the Knife can keep getting some pressure on 3rd down and get the ball back to Rodgers.

[pbmax]

Reports trickling in that Fackrell, instead of ruling the world, is this week cleaning out lint traps.

[run pMc]

Is anyone shocked he disappeared against the Lions? Does anyone think he'll get 3 more sacks the rest of the year?

[pbmax]

Another sack. At this rate, he'll be a Pro Bowler by his retirement year.

[mraynrand]

If my research is correct, of the OLBs selected before Fackrell in 2016, only Leonard Floyd (12.5) and Jordan Jenkins (10.5) have more sacks than Fackrell (10.0).

[gbgary]

late bloomer. hopefully it continues.

[pbmax]

Maybe he is still inside his own head too much?

That spin move for the sack was the most deliberate looking spin move I have seen in a while.

Like he's learning how to dance.

Probably that too. Unfortunately for the Fackrell Faithful, Solari has apparently corrected most of the damage that Tom Cable inflicted while decimating the O line in Seattle.

I have to remain somewhat restrained as the Seahawks O line has recovered from being terrible this year, but they still aren't a tremendous unit.

[call_me_ishmael]

I am just so bedazzled and perplexed by this. Is this guy actually a suitable player now? Surely he isn't good, but is he at least okay? What a weird turn of events.

He's always had speed. Maybe Pettine has done a better job than Capers of putting him in situations where he can utilize that speed.

A big difference tonight was that he seemed to know where he was going. That closing play on Wilson as he escaped the pocket to his left was fantastic. He was in coverage, had no one to cover so he could close with abandon. And he got to the right spot very quickly.

[bobblehead]

Contract year. This is where we sign him to a perry contract right before he regresses to the mean.

For real? It sure seems like he has been failing for 3 years already.

He has. He signed a 4 year deal through 2019.

[Smidgeon]

Clearly, yes.

[red]

So the guy is clearly our best OLB and best pass rusher

[Tony Oday]

Extend him for $50 million!!!!

[Rutnstrut]

Extend him for $50 million!!!!

He's white and not a QB so he will take much less.

[Bretsky]

I"m waiting for Wist to join this thread; he is silent. I've never been a Fackrell fan; but I'm happy to be wrong and hope I am.

With that being said, I'd staked out my house/yard with all kinds of traps and grenades in case PB shows up on his Anti TJ Watt Agenda :)

[run pMc]

Clearly, yes.

LOL got me. Consider me pleasantly surprised and eating a bit of crow.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Who was it in the Seahawks game thread who said that the two best players they have seen in their life were Walter Peyton and Fackrell? That was awesome.

[StPaulPackFan]

Getting injured is the best thing Perry has done all year. It finally got Fackrell more playing time.

Actually, Perry getting injured is the only thing he's been good at his whole career :-)

[beveaux1]

I’m trying to think of how many former Packer players had 3 sacks in a game twice in one year. I think the number is very low.

This only goes back so far, so no Reggie era. But I was giddy none-the-less until #9.

I've said all along, Fackrell isn't as bad as the detractors claim. He has the potential to be a quality NFL OLB - but he still has to prove it a few more times.

[mraynrand]

Hope Fackrell is watching A.D. tonight. Needs to add that strip move to his vast repertoire of pass rush moves.

Let's not be greedy. I'll take 3 good games in a row. Maybe a great play like catching Russell Wilson scooting out of the pocket.

If Fackrell is gonna rule the world, his learning curve needs to be steeper.
