UR the Coach of GB. Make one change to improve our team NOW.

[SnakeLH2006]

Seems like there are a lot of problems right now with our team in Green Bay. If you could make one change (serious replys only....not trade for Moss or Walter Jones) but a fundamental one, what would it be and why?

Personally, I'd suggest getting rid of this finesse offense shit and going to a power I, smash mouth offense. We'd incorporate more power I formations with 2 fullbacks and use our backs more. If we can't run the ball, the spread formation (5 wide or 4 wide) is moot.

Arod has done well, but without a running threat, we can't score consistently or keep our D off the field. Our D-Line is shitty as hell right now stopping the run as that is the downfall for our team right now as I can never remember us being so bad at stopping the run....an avg. of 190+ rushing yards given up a game the last 3 weeks, but it all starts with OUR running game. Commit to the run, and scrap the Zone Blocking so we can control the clock and set up the play action passing.

What's you take? You're the coach, how would you solve this mess?

Well the run game looked alot better last week than in weeks prior, and didn't really start to get going last season until week 6 either. I think to improve the run game all that is required is better continuity on the OL. That means getting them healthy and keeping them healthy.

The Packers are #3 in the NFC in points scored, so scoring points isn't the problem. The problem is that we are one of the worst in the NFC in terms of points allowed. If any immediate change is necessary, it would be on the defensive side of the ball. Looking at the list of players that are or could be on the trading block with the deadline coming up, Dewayne White of the Detroit Lions looks to be the best upgrade right now. He's a DE who can get pressure on the QB, and like Cullen Jenkins he can be moved inside on 3rd and long when KGB plays DE on passing downs. He's not outstanding against the run but is much more solid than KGB. As I pointed out in another thread, however, that won't likely happen because inter-divisional trades don't really happen in the middle of the season.

Justin Harrell is healthy (allegedly) and will be put back on the dress list after the Seahawks game. That should make the entire group more effective, because it adds another DT to the rotation keeping everyone a bit more fresh in the later stages of games. You won't see our guys as gassed and as a result should be able to make more plays.

I think the best thing that would improve this team is for our guys to get healthy and back onto the field. I don't think there's a whole lot of street FA's or guys on the trading block that are better than the guys we put on the injury list every week. Get some of those guys back out there and we'll be fine.

I would tell the team not to read bad ideas on internet forums.

[Tony Oday]

There has to be an available DT that would like to play for the Pack in the mold of Pickett and Grady...Hollis Thomas if he can play comes to mind.

[Pugger]

Unless you are willing to trade picks plus players you aren't gonna find a decent DE/DT at this time of the season. Most of the guys out there on the streets are unemployed for a reason.

Maybe our coaches should get the fellas to go back to some basic fundimental drills during practice? Their discipline, blocking and tackling the last 3 weeks has been atrocious! It can't hurt!

Shake up the offensive line. (I don't mean change any of the starters, just give um a good shake.)

[MacCool606]

Fire Schottenheimer
(not for anything specific - just haven't heard it called for lately)

Hire a faith healer.

Seriously, I'm not sure how much can be changed at this point, scheme-wise. Teams spend all summer "putting in" there offense and defense. About all you could do now is change the emphasis of what you do within the schemes already employed. The only personnel changes that might make a difference would be in the O-line. Otherwise they are pretty much stuck with what they have.

Your the coach of the Packers?? You look straight in the damn mirror and you tell yourself "quit being a wimp!" & "you can do it Mikey" and you go to ARod and tell him he is getting shot up every week and he is gonna throw the ball as much as is needed to score on every drive. Then you call passing plays that Jennings and DD turn into yardage. The Packers WRs are unstoppable if you ask me.

Agreed about our WR's, but unless we find a LT that is capable of protecting Rodgers' blind side we can't just throw all the time. RDE's are just gonna tee off on Rodgers without even thinking run and before you know it Rodgers is in ICU while Flynn or Brohm are getting the crap beat out of them. We have to be able to run the ball and do so effectively.

Like I said, scoring points is the least of our concerns. This offense can score points. Will this defense stop allowing more points than our #3 ranked (NFC) scoring offense can produce? That is what needs to change ASAP.

bzzzzz... wrong! Our DEFENSE/ST has scored 4 touchdowns which would put our offense avg. down to about 20/21 pts a game and if u take out the Lions game, which every team should really do.. our offense is fucking pathetic..


our offense has scored 71pts in 4 games(no lions, wont accept that game) which avg to about 17-18 pts a game... NOT GOOD ENOUGH! specially with the so called "weapons" we're supposed to have on this team
