On to the next one game week discussion thread: Vikings @ Lambeau

[RashanGary]

I'm really interested to see what Smith squared will do against the vaunted vikes oline. They did well against Atlanta, but I think Atlanta has a pass rush similar to the 2018 packers. Cook and Rudolf are the challenge on d imo.

When we are on o I think Rodgers will have a touch more time, and our wrs will need it against that secondary. Strangely enough I think Jones and graham will be our best point of attack.

I must have a crush on rb and te this morning.

It’s not gay if you say “no homo” first

[Fritz]

I think the Vikes will be a tough test. They have Dalvin Cook, and they won't be afraid to use him. We'll see how the Daniels-less line does, and how the revamped LB corps will do.

We’re gonna miss that 1 assisted tackle.

He was the "run stopper" according to JSO.

The #Packers are healthy after Week 1. Only Burks and Shepherd not practicing. No contact for Hollman. Here is Adams at work.

JINX!

Have at it. It's not like not nine years of NOT talking about injuries had any kind of salutary effect on team health.

I report (other peoples stuff). You decide.

Viking defensive line looked disruptive against Falcons. It's always worse when next week's opponent does that against a team Packers have struggled against. Assuming things go relatively well for Packers on defense, the game will come down to whether or not GB OL can hold its own against a good front seven. We are used to seeing the offensive line in disarray for the first month of the season, so by habit I am expecting another ugly game.

[gbgary]

Minnesota is a different kind of challenge. Better QB. Better receivers. Good game to get King back to 100%. I think the weaker part of our defense is the secondary. Savage looked good against Trubisky but he’s a rookie. He’s gonna have his moments. I do trust King, Alexander and Amos, but Williams will have his moments where his age gets picked on. We’ll see if Greene is as good at that coverage LB spot going forward. He’s hardly proven.

So yeah, a better QB/WR group will be a good test for our secondary.

i think it's the DT's. clark is the only good-to-great player in the group. as of right now the rest are just guys (nothing special). behind the DT's you've got a good LB in martinez but then just guys. the weak spot is low up the middle imo. i think the secondary has actually turned into a strength...and has some promising depth in brown and holman.
i think it's a min win. we get gashed up the middle and our O/rodgers continues to struggle. hope i'm wrong...again.

[esoxx]

Packers favored by 3 points.

I was considering Greene and Williams as the guys on the shallow interior of the secondary as the potential soft spots for Thielen and Diggs to attack. And possibly the rookie of they want to try the deep middle... not saying it’s “soft” but it has potential to be a soft spot with one aging and two unproven guys in the middle.

He was the "run stopper" according to JSO.

I actually listed to his interview about a week back. He considered Daniels our best weapon vs the run. Noted he'd often penetrats and tie up mulitiple blockers allowing others to make plays as well

[texaspackerbacker]

JSO is dwelling on the past. Kenny Clark is more than making up for anything Daniels did, running plays or pass plays. Lowery and Adams were better than I might have expected in the Bears game too, especially when the criterion is tying up multiple blockers. It all is made possible, though, by the great upgrade at OLB. Plain fact is, the Packers D is way better off this season not only against the pass, but also against the run.

And as good as those guys are, I would heartily disagree that the secondary is "the weaker part of our D".

Not sure about that. Someone is gonna get double teamed in the run game.
