More Banjo: Week 1 @ Jacksonville

[pbmax]

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

You need to keep the defense honest. Or you have no chance at a first. Even with three running plays but no first, Jags have 1:30 left with the ball.

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

The Packers had 1 punt in the 2nd half. While they didn't punch in the TDs the offense moved the ball on all but 1 drive in the 2nd half.

Offense put up 27 points. They had a decent but not great game. Rust is to be expected in game one when you don't play the starters in pre-season.

A few thoughts:

1. Where was Julius Peppers? I don't think I saw him on the field at all! Did he completely lose it in camp? I hadn't heard that.

2. There are a lot of options on this team. The offense should have a plethora of people that can catch 3-5 balls per game and put up 50 yards.

3. Would like to see Jared Cook more involved.

4. I think I saw Morgan Burnett playing ILB a few times.

5. Blake Martinez is skinny as all get out.

6. HHCD looks like a player ready to break out (to me, anyway). He has all the talent in the world and I'll be damned if he doesn't look huge for a safety.

That's all for now.

Packers used peppers-jones-Perry-clay for pass rush at times.

Yep. Peppers was at DT in that unit.

Not sure if wist would call that a super dime 0-11 D with no DL or DE on the field.

Maybe a 0-4-7.

Remember they are only D lineman if their hand is in the dirt.

I can't begin to understand our running game. So many plays end up outside the hash marks with no chance to succeed. Lacys decision making is dreadful, and I'm not sure any rb in the NFL accomplishes less with his skillset than he does. And yet MM puts him position to fail over and over again.

[Cheesehead Craig]

I'll be optimistic guy for this post.

The run defense was fantastic. 26 carries, 48 yds for the Jags. That's dominant.

This wasn't going to be an easy game, Jax is on the rise. They have a lot more talent than in years past and certainly have a legit QB in Bortles.

Davante Adams looked like he did when he was a rookie and was in favor from the board.

From what I've read Lacy has put on much of the weight he lost in the early offseason.

Given his habits, I don't see the Packers re-signing him after this contract is up. He might come in next season slim and trim and ready to rock, but his history suggests that after the contract drive he'll go back to camping out at White Castle.

This is the last year of Lacy's contract. I think he's lighter than last year, although I agree he looks heavier than he did in the spring.

Except Fritz didn't get to watch the game.
