Agreed. Gary is playing better than the 2020 Big Z. Not as good as the 2019 Big Z.

I wouldn't say outplaying. Stats are comparable. Jones is so top notch in pass protection. We are going to lose something. When Dillon's not in the game, there's a big drop off to Patrick Taylor.

Stokes is so good for a rookie CB. He's like a fly strip. The two safeties are playing really well also. King has put together back-to-back good games.

Forever there were problems at the back end, communication or what ever.
Those problems are gone in the secondary. Players know what their job and assignments are.
Granted the pass rush is helping things but they are really playing well.
Another thing: these DB's TACKLE. They don't allow much for YAC.
It seems to be an MCL for Aaron Jones - not terrible news, usually a few weeks. Great if we can get him back for the playoffs.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
Holy shit that's great news tex. Not only for 2021, but 2022 also!
MCL's are 6 week recovery times.
Depends on severity of sprain. Jennings had one in 2011 and missed, what, three games. Granted, he wasn't quite the same when he returned in the NFCCG. Oh wait, never mind.

Articles I’ve read said Jones has had sprained MCL twice and missed 2 games one time and 3 games the other.

Stokes not getting much press nationally. Understandably, he's being overshadowed by what Diggs and Parsons are doing in Dallas as rookies. But really he's probably been better than Alexander was as a rookie.PFF College Football

It sounds like Stokes is going to be a stud. How the heck was a player like that available at the bottom of R1?
One knock on him was he tended to get grabby at top of routes. He's probably fortunate to have Jerry Gray as his position coach.

He was considered to be really raw; great top line speed but I think a lot of scouting reports noted he didn't have good ball skills in coverage. But he looks good to me as well
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

MRI revealed that Packers’ RB Aaron Jones has “a mild” MCL sprain and he is expected to be out 1-2 weeks, per source.

I don't think that was an issue. Dude had three years of experience going up against NFL talent in the SEC (two years starting). Ball skills were, and still are, questionable. The people that liked him saw his stickiness. Some downgraded him for being grabby, but I didn't see that as a huge problem. The guy on the other side of him, Tyson Campbell, definitely was overly grabby.

Am I wrong or is he _very_ good right now? Like maybe not Jaire good, but like a legit number 1 that you're comfortable with?
Awesome news indeed!
HOFer
I think he's a really good #2 already. I'm not ready to give him legit #1 yet.

Let him rest all the way through the bye... Should be ready to go come Dec.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
