    Duds and Studs, Bears Edition

    4 Downs: Packers must rely on young running backs
    http://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2017/09/29/4-downs-packers-must-rely-young-running-backs/715610001/
    Four observations the day after the Packers’ 35-14 win over the Bears on Thursday night.


    On Thursday night he had a gross average of 47.6 yards, including a career long 62-yarder, and a net average of 46.2, which means he’s getting enough hang time on his long kicks to give his teammates a chance to cover. The Bears have an exciting young returner in rookie Tarik Cohen, but he averaged only 3.5 yards on his two returns.
    Studs
    Rodgers
    Vogel
    Lane Taylor
    Jahri Evans
    McCarthy's passing concepts, bunches, picks, crosses its like he wants to beat man coverage this year

    Duds
    Randall (started out OK, then blew another coverage)
    Safeties (tackling)
    Bennett
    D line pass rush (except for Clark)
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    On offense, I've got to say COBB and NELSON were studs and maybe (Taybor Pepper for not screwing up). Defensive studs have to include MARTINEZ and maybe MATTHEWS.
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

      I'll give a shout out to Brooks, he was really good vs the run from what I remember.
      All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

          Why was 2011 so successful and each year since seems like a struggle to get the ball downfield?
          No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

            Three reasons: Donald Driver, Greg Jennings, Jermichael Finley (in addition to Jordy Nelson).

              My gut says it was schematic concepts too, but I don't know enough to point it out. I remember the offense scoring so quickly and easily the defense was on the field a lot and often gassed. Did defenses catch up?

                Duds - Stomach flu

                I made it to about 9:45 feeling like shit. Then was puking my guts out. Listened to the game for a while curled up around the toilet. I made it until Adams was blown up listening on the floor. Couldn't make it any longer and went to bed.
                But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

                  Studs: Aaron Rodgers (many take him for granted hahahaha), Randall Cobb, Ty Montgomery, Aaron Jones, the left side of the O Line, Jordy Nelson (after the two early drops), Matthews (best he's been this year although not up to his prime years), Blake Martinez, Haha Clinton-Dix (not just the interception), Josh Hawkins, Joe Thomas

                  Duds: Jamal Williams, Kevin King (not horrible but maybe a step backward), Ricky Jean Francois (I think he was the one getting run right over consistently on the last TD drive), Damarious Randall (if the story is like people are saying)

                  One additional Dud: the doom and gloom people in here and elsewhere who actually thought the Packers would lose to the Bears or let it be a close game.

                  What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

                    I don't know much about schemes either. I do think that Packer fans tend to undervalue Jennings. We've got no one like him now, even Jordy. I compare him to Antonio Brown. And I'd take Finley in a heartbeat over Marty. Ditto Driver over Allison. Cobb I'll give you.

                      Stud - James Campen. Had 4 Guards out there and made it work.

                      Lane Taylor - Didn't hear his name much. That's what you want.
                      I can't run no more
                      With that lawless crowd
                      While the killers in high places
                      Say their prayers out loud
                      But they've summoned, they've summoned up
                      A thundercloud
                      They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

                          on the plus side, you should lose a lot of weight

                          i once lost 17 pounds overnight because of the stomach flu

                            I was at game, so maybe missed some things, but Josh Hawkins broke up three passes. Looks like a better cover guy than Randall and Rollins.

                              King, Hawkins and House seem alright to me.
                              Brice, Burnett and dix are really good.

                              By seasons end, hopefully with a health bounce or two going our way, our secondary might be alright.
