More Banjo: Week 1 @ Jacksonville

[pbmax]

A lot to cover.

1. New punter and LG hurt the Packers late on that last true offensive drive. Worst punt of day and Taylor missed two blocks (one run wide with Lacy and a pass pro block that rushed Rodgers back shoulder throw to Jordy).

2. New ILBs looked good. After 1 week, looks like serious upgrade.

3. Took the Packers a quarter to shake rust off offense.

4. Taylor's worst two plays happened late with game in balance, but Tretter and Lang both missed run blocks in first half.

5. No huddle offense still has problem making calls and letting Rodgers read D within 40 seconds.

6. Shields with likely concussion.

7. Cobb with ankle injury (went back into game)

Rollins benched, but made a great play late.

That pitch to Lacy on 2nd and 1 is hard to fathom.

Loved opening with play action. Went downhill quickly after that.

Hard to blame Thomas, but if he drills Robinson, that drive likely dies there. Trying for INT costs them.

I'm not looking for an argument, but they went into a "running out the clock" mode with over 5 minutes left again. I just don't get that. Missed block or no missed block. Bad execution not withstanding, one first down likely wins the game. We're not good enough at this point to rush the ball for 10 yards when the defense is expecting it.

That is why on their last non-kneel possession I loved the first down pass. With 3+ minutes left, even with Jacksonville standing with no TOs, they still needed a first down or a stop.

WATCHING FILM WILL FIX THIS

That's actually a great play by Hyde to fight off that block and hold up the receiver until Thomas can get there. Pause that video and look how far away Thomas is when the catch is made.

3. Took the Packers a quarter to shake rust off offense.

and the rust grew back at halftime, which they weren't able to shake off in the second half

[MadScientist]

Last year they kept throwing that stupid TE out pattern to Rodgers that would get at most 2 yards. Cook ran the same play and turned it up for 8.

a first down throw on first doesn't do much for you though. you just gained one extra play. if that happens on third down, you've gained 3 plays

[pbmax]

Forgot the nice moment where LeTroy Guion carried JoeT off the field after that stop.

Also heard on radio that Rollins was benched after one of the long plays he gave up, only to have to go back in after Shields got concussed.

Also reminded that Shields had concussion last year that last multiple games.
