Everybody loves a santa abuse story

[beveaux1]

Shields + Lacy done for the year:

http://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2016/11/23/shields-lacy-done-year/94351372/

IR-DR option used on Dorleant.

Wow.

Never a doubt about Shields. His career is over, as it should be with 5 concussions. Really, really good corner. Reminds me a lot of the career path of Collins. Lacy wasn't going to be ready until the playoffs if reports were to be believed. It's possible he comes back next year on a "show me" contract. Dorleant can help a little now. Maybe.

Ryan and Randall are back. Barclay is limited (rim shot!) and Lang is out. Somehow Holy Fackrell got hurt.

clay also worked out back at ILB, just in case

McCarthy: Jake Ryan looks good. Jake's going to practice today. They want to be smart with his first day back #Packers

Packer Report @PackerReport 8h8 hours ago
Jake Ryan will practice today. Will be smart with him but everything looks good at this point. "We need him."

Green Bay Packers @packers 8h8 hours ago
McCarthy: RB Christine Michael doing a really good job. Like the way he practiced Weds. Nice to have him part of the rotation Monday night.

Packer Report @PackerReport 7h7 hours ago
Offense won't be quite as "herky-jerky" with a full stable of running backs.

Green Bay Packers @packers 7h7 hours ago
McCarthy on Aaron Rodgers' "run the table" comments: I love it. It's an expression of confidence. It shows what's going on internally.

Packer Report @PackerReport 7h7 hours ago
Why is MM so confident about his offense? "It's about us. ... We've done a lot of good things. We need to win games."

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 7h7 hours ago
McCarthy on bus rides into @LFFStadium and Nelson saying he likes having eggs thrown at the team bus: "Let's not encourage them now."

Packer Report @PackerReport 7h7 hours ago
Key game for the OTs. Extra day off will help Bakhtiari. Bulaga playing his best football, MM says.

AND ALL THE REST

Packer Report @PackerReport 6h6 hours ago
No Goodson, Martinez, Fackrell, Lang or Tretter. Ryan returns as we depart a cold and wet practice.

ZOOK

Green Bay Packers @packers 2h2 hours ago
Ron Zook on Eagles special teams: We've got our work cut out for us this week. Good return team.

CAPERS

Green Bay Packers @packers 2h2 hours ago
Dom Capers on LB Jake Ryan: He's made some pretty good strides. We're anxious to see him back out there.

BENNETT

Green Bay Packers @packers 2h2 hours ago
Edgar Bennett on RB Christine Michael: Helps being able to take things from the classroom to the practice field. He's coming along.

MOSS

Green Bay Packers @packers 2h2 hours ago
Winston Moss on Clay Matthews: Looking forward to him getting back to his old play-making self.

Green Bay Packers @packers 2h2 hours ago
Winston Moss on #GBvsPHI: We have guys in that locker room who have been in some stressful, adverse situations. There's no panic.

MCCURLEY

Packer Report @PackerReport 2h2 hours ago
Scott McCurley on return of Jake Ryan: Concerned with conditions because of rain but was "blessing" to get him back.

Green Bay Packers @packers 2h2 hours ago
Assistant LBs coach Scott McCurley on Jake Ryan: Exciting to get him back out there & moving around today.

Packer Report @PackerReport 2h2 hours ago
Ryan's been a big part of run defense, McCurley says. Remember, the long runs vs. TEN and WASH were without him.

PERRY

Green Bay Packers @packers 2h2 hours ago
Safeties coach Darren Perry: We've had guys in position, we just have to make the plays at critical moments.

Packer Report @PackerReport 2h2 hours ago
Darren Perry on struggles: Got to look within. Hasn't been any fingerpointing or second guessing. Just have to play better.

WHITT

Packer Report @PackerReport 2h2 hours ago
Joe Whitt on Randall's return: "That's what we get paid for. Nobody really cares about the rust." Only thing that matters is performance.

Green Bay Packers @packers 2h2 hours ago
Whitt: It's time for us to make splash plays, time for us to get off the field. Nobody is making excuses, we just have to get it done.

Packer Report @PackerReport 2h2 hours ago
It's time for someone to step up at corner, Whitt says. He refuses to use injuries as an excuse, no matter how many ways I ask.

Packer Report @PackerReport 2h2 hours ago
Only thing Whitt is concerned about with Shields is that he's the same guy he met back in 2010.

Green Bay Packers @packers 2h2 hours ago
Whitt on Sam Shields: I'm not worried about the football part right now, I'm just worried about Sam Shields the person.

yuck

thats 4 good teams that will be very tough to win even if we get everything worked out

plus tough games against the 5-5 eagles and always tough bears

and the sad thing is, IMO, one more loss and we are eliminated

[Patler]

When did Fackrell get hurt?

[texaspackerbacker]

clay also worked out back at ILB, just in case

Am I the only one who thinks Matthews helps the team more at ILB? To make a baseball analogy, he has warning track power at OLB - comes close but seldom actually gets to the QB.

i think clay is very boom or bust at OLB

every now and then he'll make a big play and get a sack, but you don't hear too much else from him

however at ILB, he seems to me to be making more plays and having more of an impact

we still suck at ILB, and have quite a bit more talent at OLB

so i'd rather see him at ILB

Considering Matthews alone in the middle, he helps and hurts. He helps in run defense, but he is vulnerable to making bad guesses at gaps to defense. Lotta big plays went behind Clay last year (still better than Hawk or Jones). He might be better than Martinez in the Mack/Mike role, as Martinez was guessing after Ryan went out and often was nowhere near the ball. Also as good as either young player at shooting a gap and making a tackle for loss.

He's not great in deep middle coverage and he can be had in the middle on crossers because he is not used to reading routes from the middle. He is very erratic is pass D. However, he recovers and fills in on short throws as good as anyone on D (only Martinez is close) so he is almost ideal as a middle zone short defender. Few got the first down against him.

Overall he made the middle better by a fair margin; much, much faster, better tackling, but not more assignment sure.

The much greater part of the Packer D success last year was Perry starting and being healthy. Perry can hold an edge against anything up to a double team. Might be 5 OTs who can move him and maybe 2 TEs. When he played and Peppers hadn't tailed off, the run D was much, much better and Perry is a better down over down pass rusher in so far as collapsing the pocket regularly.

That makes Matthews better on blitzes because he can move everywhere and not have to defeat a Tackle one on one.

The question this year about Matthews in the middle is will Peppers (or Elliot) hold up side opposite Perry? Holy Fackrell is not practicing.

OLB is hurting right now. Matthews is hurt and might be moving. Perry was hurt last game, came back though. Peppers is in last year and might fade as PT increases (its a gamble I would take). Elliot has been hurt (was inactive last week though not for injury this time) and Fackrell is hurt.

[mmmdk]

I like this situation as Packers have painted themselves into a corner of confidence. Ultimate boom or bust and I don't like losing to the Eagles, don't like Stubby either and TT has done nothing for anybody lately. A Win-Win-Win scenario!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

There is only one fucking thing that Claymaker the ILB is better at than Claymaker the OLB: At ILB, the Claymaker pulls his hammies less.

Polar Bear is so incompetent, he wasted away TWO prime years of OLB Claymaker.
