Official 2019 Training Camp Thread

Clark, Daniels and Zadarius are all three consistent pressure guys. The odds of stopping all three an any given pass rush down aren’t very good for the offense.

It will be interesting to see if Daniels in in any first group for pass rush. He was flat out replaced by Wilkerson last year in those sub packages.

Also, on obvious passing downs, especially 3rd down, there will only 2 DL. Some mix of Dr. Zaius/Clark or Dr. Zaius/Gary or if Gary isn't ready, Lowry.

Daniels is definitely living on history right now. He's nearing the end.

Silverstein is now calculating how much cap room the Packers could have had if they cut Daniels, Hawk and KGB at the correct time.

Daniels isn't old enough to be over the hill; I don't think the injuries he's had are the type to debilitate him long term; I foresee a comeback year for him, assuming he stays fairly healthy, especially with better quality players around him. I would not put him in the same category as Hawk or KGB.

They couldn't have cut Hawk as a rookie

I'm hoping that either Aaron Jones or Jamaal Williams will have a breakout season at RB and really put this new offense into high gear by playoff time. A high quality Running Attack is one of the best ways to keep defenses honest and off Aaron Rodgers backside.

Last year, during his worst year since his first year starting, teams still lined up to stop Rodgers and the passing attack. This despite a pretty effective run game.

You are just kidding yourself if you expect, barring injury, teams to start worrying about the Packers running more than Rodgers.

You well know that I never said that GB's Running would eclipse Rodgers, but even Rodgers would welcome a better running attack. In fact, having any/all offensive areas to show improvement is always a good thing. Good blocking is one of the key parts of LaFleur's new offensive system and it may well prove to aid the running game and help take some of the pressure off of Rodgers.

I don't expect anything, but I would be pleased to see GB's 2019 Offense be better balanced and therefore more unpredictable moving forward.

Both passing and rushing last year were on the boarder between inconsistent and ineffective. Isn't that balanced enough?

I want to see an effective and efficient offense, regardless of the split. If it's 65-35, but the runs are gashes and the play action works, great. I want to see opposing defenses banged and beaten so much they have to use the meToo hashtag, and I don't give a rat's ass how they go about doing it.

[texaspackerbacker]

65-35 works for me, although 75-25 would be better.

[Radagast]

The percentage ratio of passes to runs, while relevant, is not the more important case. What is is the effectiveness of the GB ground attack. Popping those 8 and 12 yard runs make opposing teams be less likely to blitz a LB or CB or Safety. As a result, Rodgers throwing from the pocket and not having to scramble for his life is a much better way to go. Others like Brees, Goff, Ryan, and Rivers have benefited from a solid running attack. I feel good about running the same offensive system as the Rams and I'm looking forward to seeing the new GB Offense in action.

In addition, I expect that greater focus will be placed upon the O-Line and their blocking schemes in the upcoming TC. We may even see a veteran get beat out for the starters position on the line. Much will be at stake as old associations may not be enough to secure a roster slot. Also, I see players coming from other teams and trying to earn a spot on the 2019 Roster. Few will be safe this TC as the new HC and new offensive system may just be a little ruthless with building the 2019 GB Roster.

For all those who wanted us to pick Jonah Williams.

You must hate the Packers. In Rodgers 2 best years (2011 and 2014) the Packers pass/run ratio was 58/42 and 55/45. I guess you liked last year so much (66/34) that you want that and more. Or maybe you just want to get Rodgers killed.
