Green Bay Packers - Miami Dolphins Official Game Day Thread

Man, Montravious Adams is a big dude. And he seems quick. I wonder why the hell he doesn't play better - I do see that he seems to get shoved back on running plays, or shoved out of the way. Pad level?

Can he be used on passing downs to get after the QB?

And maybe I spoke to soon as to Josh Jones being a bust. He looked willing to tackle and decent in coverage, to my amateur eyes.

Nice to see Adams make a positive play, he was slippery on the sack even if he did drop his hands a little early.
I thought Josh Jones had a nice game -- he was active and tackled pretty well. Didn't notice any glaring blown coverages.
Pettine seems to be coaching something out of these guys, but what I really like is he's not afraid of playing his best players vs. the big contracts or veterans.

Fackrell was decent, not just on the sack. He did ok in coverage a couple of times and was in on tackles other times too. I'll take him over Perry even if Perry is healthy.

As good as the D was in the red zone, we got pushed around pretty bad at times. As good as the offense looked most of the game, I'd like to see them do it against a couple of other defenses before concluding anything.

I thought Pettine called a pretty good game for the D.

yup. after the first quarter gore didn't do much.

I was at the game so haven't had a chance to post anything...

Probably time to stop calling Fackrell a bust. He may be Pack's 2nd best OLB.

I'm starting to think Rodgers knows his accuracy is off and is therefore throwing the ball away because he doesn't trust himself to throw into a tight window. Rodgers looks slow when he does get room to run. Either the knee is still a problem, or he's afraid to test it fully, of he's just slowing with age.

I've been pretty tough on Josh Jones. I thought he was okay yesterday. Baby steps I guess.

Packers guards seem to be better run blockers than pass blockers. Or Aaron Jones is just better than Aaron Rodgers right now.

I agree with Fritz. Mount Adams looks BIG. I figured that was Lancaster who got that sack.

We might need an Official Fire Zook! Thread.

they were showing that jones had some really nice holes to run through

And Kudos to the O Line for opening those holes - I sure haven't had the occasion to say that very often, and I'd like to see it against a couple of other defenses along with some better pass blocking before I get too lavish with the praise.

yup...the only person who stopped Jones was MM.

still just 15 carries

but i guess when you're averaging 10 yards per carry, you don't need as many touches
