More Banjo: Week 10 Miami

[call_me_ishmael]

Yo PB what up my dude where you at and where my banjo at! Let's get this party started.

I posted this in the Game Day Thread, but it probably belongs here.

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.

PB amazingly had another mini vacation. But I will fill in the after game injury details and takeaways as I catch up. Only caught part of the game.

We were very attentive to the first half because someone in the party placed a foolish bet on the Packers leading at halftime by 6.5 points.

Fackrell needs a nickname. Not too clever, but I’d go with The Kiss-Blowing Mormon.

Or The MormonFacker, a la “motherfucker.”

Let's start with questions.

1. Did Fackrell make any other plays, especially after Perry got hurt? That one spin move for his fifth sack was special, but did he back that up with other solid play?

2. Who was the starting deep safety? Was it Brice until he was injured? Who subbed for him?

[pbmax]

Why do they rotate them? No one knows.

Alvin Kamara: 157 carries for 869 yards (5.54 yards per rush), 10 rushing TDs

[George Cumby]

I forget who it was, Mission or Brandon maybe, but they were really psyched about Jones when he was drafted.

FACKRELL!!

Baranczyk and Dogherty on the film:

Gives kudos to Jones for vision (nice catch because I mainly was in love with his burst) and for Linsley's season.

Brice was in a boot and looks like no go.

Alexander cleared the concussion protocol so he could go.

Breeland says he could have gone back in.

After Breeland got hurt, Tramontana moved back to CB and Jones and Green manned the safety spots. Gets wackier if Jones moves down to play ILB and they need what is essentially their (Clinton-Dix, Brice, Whitehead, Tramontana, Jones, Green) seventh safety to be on the field. Ibrahim Campbell could be the guy who gets the call since he knows Pettine's system.

What the hell did Capers call the Burnett ILB position?

Lucas Patrick still in concussion protocol and Trevor Davis is eligible to come back to the roster. I believe they have the roster spot available. Given the turnovers on ST, even given Davis' occasional adventures with punts, he probably moves right into both returner jobs on his return.

Best run games by yardage for Rodgers era Packers. Some nice highlights of former players and lots of it against the Bears.

Lots of two TE sets early to either help run game, offset Cobb's absence or both.

Burks has played his way out of the lineup. Morrison is in on run downs and Jones inside for pass plays. Look for the Seahawks to get Morrison into coverage. One of the few things they do well on offense from a scheme standpoint.

To counter the Dolphins running on the 2-4-5 nickel early, Packers went to 3-3-5. Difference was subbing 3 man line for 2 and removing an inside backer.

By my on-the-fly count, I've got the #Packers with 11 missed tackles. But they lead 14-6.

Packer Report @PackerReport
That is five sacks for Fackrell. Five!

Breeland, Jackson and Alexander at corner. Brice and Williams at safety. On second down, Jones in and Morrison out.

Monday PC

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
McCarthy said today players have strength and conditioning and then go through meetings and then a recovery time. Tuesday will be a Thursday practice but there will be no pads.

McCarthy said with RB Aaron Jones there are not any kinds of run plays he has to avoid but some of the concepts they're using are designed with his talents in mind.

McCarthy said you'd like to have carryover, but the biggest challenge is the environment they'll be going into with the noise, along with the strength of the opponent.

McCarthy said work began on Seattle last Thursday and game-planning took place on Friday and Saturday by the assistant coaches. No time to review Dolphins tape.
