More Banjo: Week 1 vs. Seattle

In addition to the Nitro, it looked like whenever Fackrell was in there he was supposed to spy Wilson. And for being SS, it didnt seem like Brice was playing downhill all that often either which means a lot of 7 in the box.

Its like Capers looked at Graham and said if he counts as a tight end then all my safeties count as linebackers.

There was that one play where they omitted the spy and Wilson broke off 30. That was the end of a spyless D against Russ.

I am not sure on that. It looked like Burnett was the spy on that play.

[3irty1]

Burnett did get lured out of position by something he saw. At the very least he got to first base with the dog on that play. If he was supposed to be a QB spy he really romanced the dog.

I'm anxious to see the all-22 and figure out what is going on. We're blessed with some damn versatile safeties.

Where do you get all 22?

It's a passing league. NITRO is just a smart adjustment. Capers and Trgo both told me that nickle is base. Packers can afford to give up more in the run game if they can stop the pass. Stubby will never change his core philosophy that he will win games on big plays from his offense and limiting the same with his defense.

I've got a friend who gets it through their work. I think its just NFL gamepass.

Packers #1 on the NFL.com power rankings after week 1!

That's true, but every team can just run dime. The trick is to do things nobody else can. Seattle is a great example. Earl Thomas is maybe the only true center fielder in the whole league. Having a guy who can really do that allows your other safety to be a slow goon who is practically a linebacker. You can run what's almost a college defense 4-4 split, with cover 1 and cover 3 all the time in the NFL. Being the only one who can run a certain type of defense has a way of letting you capitalize on players who are viewed by the rest of the league as tweeners.

What the 2017 Packers seem to have is an embarrassment of riches at safety in a league with a considerable deficit of quality safeties. We use safeties to play safety, to play slot CB, and now LB. I assume the benefit here is that it allows us to make 3-down use from cheap 2-down players like Dial, Jean Francois, Brooks, Martinez, and Ryan. I need to see the all-22 to make a better theory than that.

Correct, NFL Gamepass has all-22, usually goes up about 48 hours after game ends. All for just $100 per year. But it does have its limits: even coaches film didn't capture the Adams/Lane tussle in its entirety.

Marty Bennett fined $9115 for late hit. Jeremy Lane not fined. That likely means that at the very least the NFL felt the ejection was unjustified.

Or they felt the ejection was enough punishment.
