Packers Linebackers

Barnett isn't doing that bad. Yeah, he looked bad on that 7.3 second snap: Did you bother looking at anyone else? Anytime a QB has 7.3 seconds to throw a ball the entire secondary looks bad, including the LB's. Barnett was not the only player that looked bad on that one play. There are also examples where barnett has looked really good in the 3-4, and you could say that about everyone.


Hawk: I think the coaches see something about him where he just isn't a every down LB. Yeah, his tackles are good and he looks good the few snaps he is out there, but maybe he looks good simply because he doesn't get a lot of snaps. The coaches may be on to something with Hawk: Reduce his snaps and he seems to play better. We all remember earlier in the year, and in preseason, that hawk just didn't look that good playing full time.

JUst saying, I trust the coaches here. If Barnett was reduced to 20 plays a game, he would most likely have similar numbers and look just as good. It's pretty easy to look good when you only gotta worry about 20 snaps, and your always fresh.

Re: Packers Linebackers

Agree that MM is scared to blitz as much as DC really wants.

Evidence that McCarthy gets to change the D play call?

It may happen in the game planning -- not suggesting it happens during the game. Agree with Leroy Butler comments on how to attack #4.

Barnett is feeling his way out there. Lets see what Bishop is capable of during game situations.

Barnett has looked horrible this year. Hasn't recovered from the knee. He had 10 tackles in the game but I only remember 1.

Cutting down anybodies chances sure makes it hard to perform, fresh or not fresh.

Chillar has 26 total tackles to lead the team, Hawk is second with 23. Barnett has 22.

Chillar on the field > Barnett on the field > Hawk on the field

5 men down, the right end looks like he is much further forward than guy on his left (Jenkins?).

LB standing up on D's left (Poppinga or Kamp) is not. Has to be the last guy with hand on ground on D's right.

BTW, can anyone see Bishop offsides? This is .01 seconds before the snap.

Ok, who from here is posting in the comments section of the gazette?

The reason Smith was cut was he had terrible pad level. While Martin can't get into the right position, he has great pad level. That makes all the difference.

It was probably Stubby posting. He looks a little bit like a cow.

It had to be a ticky tack call. I hate that crap. BTW, I was watchig the '96 game at Minnesota and realized they changed the 'Vikings' in the endzone from Stencil to some sort of norse script. How nouveau. Hopefully the next time they have a game, their the fucking roof will deflate and destroy their whole fucking field.

The best and the brightest in this forum were saying last summer that Kampman was set to excel in the 3-4. Where do I turn to now for guidance?

The same place you always turn - Rosie O'Donnell.

Offside isn't ticky-tacky. It's boolean. You either are or you aren't. No grey area. That picture is a terrible angle for judging the call I might add.

You guys got some pretty good home cookin on Monday. I loved how the time keeper tried to run the last second off the clock at the end of the first half. Is that a league guy, or do the Vikings hire somebody to push the button?

Appears absurd now.

Well, I've seen that swing the other way. I found it amusing the time the NFL admitted they missed 8 calls in the fourth quarter at Lambeau a few years back. All 8 going against the Vikings. Man, that was the most obvious stuff I ever saw.

As for that last second thing, I looked up as the guy hit the ground and it was zero.... Haven't see the replay I must admit. My thought at the time was "how do you call a timeout before you hit the ground?".

Those refs were boolean.
