Lions Week

[pbmax]

So I have worked out the party responsible for starting all the Jeff Janis buzz on social and traditional media.

It is someone with time on their hands, access to reporters and technology. Has an intimate understanding of the situation inside 1265 Lombardi and the personalities involved. Knows both of Janis' shortcomings and strengths, but more importantly understands how the public feels about Janis and the offensive performance.

This person needs Janis in the starting lineup wreaking havoc even more than Maxie and Harlan want to see how he does with some playing time.

That person is Scott Tolzien. Or maybe Brett Hundley.

Baranczyk makes four points:

1. Lacy is getting what's blocked and no more. Either hurt or unable.
2. Ryan played the run better than Palmer and should start. Reacts quicker.
3. Bulaga's various injuries have made his feet slow and its affecting his pass blocking
4. Randall will be good, but despite having inside technique on Funchess' TD, he got beat inside and had no hope. A rookie who has a lot to learn.

Demovsky reports that Packers change up the sideline/coach's box roles. Alex Van Pelt was on the sideline with the QBs in Carolina with Clements. Gives Rodgers another body to talk to while Clements can plan for the next series.

I was wondering about MM's comment recently, that he might have put too much on Clement's plate. When MM called the plays, he had others on babysitting duty with the QBs. We already know that MM was not distracted by his defense on the field, because after the NFCCG he admitted to not knowing that Matthews had taken himself out. Apparently he spent his time planning the next O-series, and thinks Clements should, too.

If Van Pelt is with Rodgers, who will pay attention to WRs?

Whoever was before because AVP came down from the booth.

I think Mike erred in having Van Pelt coach both the WRs and QBs. Only having one guy oversee these 2 groups could be the root of some of our offensive problems this season.

Didn't Edgar Bennett coach the WRs last year?

He did at some point, but I don't remember if it was last year, or the year before

and reds free FF advice for the week. START MATT STAFFORD!!!!

AVP was in the booth? MY GOD! If he babysits Rodgers, who will be in the booth? This is just a snowballing catastrophe. Very clear answer. They need to hire at least one if not more assistant coaches. Clearly that is the problem. They have got to get the player/coach ratio closer to 2:1.

Funny you should mention that. I was looking at the official Packer's website, and the quietly have posted that a new assistant has been hired, and what's really odd, is that they now list where each coach will be on gameday - "sideline" or "booth."

So check it out. The new coach is a special teams guy.

I guess Zook will remain on the sideline, since the new coach is listed as "John Wilkes, Booth."

Solari went into the booth to keep Dom company.

Weston Hodkiewicz @WesHod Nov 9 Green Bay, WI
Tight end Andrew Quarless (knee) is eligible to return to practice this week. Said decision will probably be "made in a day or two" #Packers

Monday's PCs

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein Nov 9
New from JS: McCarthy: Role with offense not going to change http://ift.tt/1Y0EsjQ #Packers

COHEN HAD A WRITEUP ABOUT HOW M3 WAS BEING COY AND SOMETHING SEEMED TO BE BREWING (HE HAD A PLAY SHEET) BUT THE CHANGE HE REFERRED TO DURING THE WEEK WAS THE AVP/SOLARI BENCH/BOOTH SWAP

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein Nov 9
OC Edgar Bennett: We had a couple of mental errors that should not occur and were disappointing to see in protection. Not one group.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein Nov 9
New from JS: Capers: The big plays jumped up and bit us http://ift.tt/1NnXQja #Packers

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein Nov 9
Bennett: Corrections were made and each guy understood mistake should not have happened based on how we go about things every week.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein Nov 9
Bennett on Lacy: James Starks deserves right for playing time. It was obvious with his overall production. Eddie will have more opportunity.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein Nov 9
Bennett on Lacy: He's an outstanding player. We want to get him going. Health plays a role. Feel good about the production he gives us.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein Nov 9
Bennett on screens: An area we've been emphasizing in training camp. Takes all 11 guys. You can have screens against man and zone.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein Nov 9
Tom Clements on final play: We ran before. Someone ran with Randall. It just didn't work out. A lot of things factor into a play.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein Nov 9
Clements on personnel groupings: It was a start. We were trying to keep them off balance. Then we fell behind by a large margin.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein Nov 9
Clements on play-calling operation: Been fine. We haven't been executing as well as we should.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein Nov 9
Clements on Starks: He's made most of opportunities. Good player, runs hard. He's been productive and very happy with him.

CAPERS PC

Packer Report @PackerReport Nov 9
Defensive problems started on the third-and-16 when we "let them off the hook," Capers says in opening remarks. Field position key in 2nd Q

Packer Report @PackerReport Nov 9
Capers: "We challenged the guys at halftime ... Any time you have a quarter like that, you see what you're made of."

Packer Report @PackerReport Nov 9
Capers liked the grit the defense showed in the second half. Six series without allowing a first down.

Packer Report @PackerReport Nov 9
"They fought their tails off and played more like we want to play in the second half," Capers says.

Packer Report @PackerReport Nov 9
Capers had Panthers averaging 2.8 yards on their 33 called runs. (Scrambles increased that to 3.6 - still a good number.)

Packer Report @PackerReport Nov 9
Capers says a lot of their blitzing was meant to fill rush lanes so Newton couldn't get out. Panthers max-protected as counter.

Packer Report @PackerReport Nov 9
Capers on pass rush: Issue vs. Denver was run-pass mix and the quick pass. Vs. Newton, "can't rush too freely"

Packer Report @PackerReport Nov 9
Capers on Jake Ryan: Did some good things. Playing time will be determined this week. "Jake can be an active guy." Smart, learning.

BENNETT PC

Packer Report @PackerReport Nov 9
Bennett said a couple of "mental errors" in picking up blitzes. "It takes all 11" to protect the passer. "Everyone understands their role."

Packer Report @PackerReport Nov 9
"They'll learn from that and it won't happen again," Bennett says of protection issues stemming from mental errors.

Packer Report @PackerReport Nov 9
Bennett on getting Lacy going: "It's very important because he's an outstanding player."
