More Banjo: Week 6 vs Detroit

[Fritz]

I have temporarily lost my snark because that win was very fun and unexpected after the first quarter.

But I agree, the pass offense especially in the fourth quarter, looked very McCarthy/Rodgers. When they did run, they did so more effectively.

I really wanted The Flower to run a bit more in the second half, as it was working pretty well. Jamaal Williams seemed to be getting at least five or six yards a pop. And by the way, he played very well yesterday.

I liked the 3 OLB look. Both Siths on the same side and Fackrell on the other. Or mix it up.


I’m not correcting the typo.

You are going to want to have the Baconator out there at some point though.

YES!

Gary got some decent snaps as well. On the Zaius sack I believe Gary took on a double team which helped Z beat his man.

I agree if you cut Sheppard the message is felt differently by starters vs. backups... will be interesting to see how Gute/MLF handle it. I think they will err on the TT side and give him another chance unless he pulls a Monty.

There was a stretch where it was echoes of M3, but I felt like the backs and TEs aren't getting ignored as much. IIRC there were two 3-and-out series back to back in the 2nd half that were pretty frustrating.

Having some faith in the defense makes a big difference too...and it's nice to see Rodgers trust Lazard.

It was kind of the same feeling as going to a prostitute - you got off, but you feel a little ashamed and dirty afterward. And when your friends give you a hard time about it, you get a little defensive.

Poetry.

A good take in general as well. I'd actually turned it off, too much other stuff going on to watch shitty football, and was astonished to check the score and see the Pack had won.

But Rodgers still looks like something isn't right. He still isn't getting the ball out there the way he used to. He was good for some bad balls last night.

There are always two.

The neck is out of bounds. The first call, when Flowers had a handful of jersey, was more defensive holding than illegal hands to my way of thinking.

Flowers was shoving his closed fist into Bak's throat. Sure it's not obvious, but a sneaky vet thing to do. Bak did the sneaky vet thing and oversold it. But if you think it did nothing, grab the collar of your shirt and push and see where your knuckles end up. Right in the throat. Like I said, sneaky vet play, but Bak was sneakier.

I think after the officials review those calls, they will say they were called properly. My personal opinion is that they were too ticky-tack to be called, especially at the point in the game they were called.

I also think a review would show that the non-pass interference on Redmond wouldn't have been overturned. As a Packer fan, I'm happy. As a Lions fan, I would have been enraged.

You are grasping for straws to find production out of the Baconator

Fackrell deserves to be playing more and Gary less

Fackrell doesn't set much of an edge. He's situational at best.

Someone on Monday night might have nailed it when he said The Baconater is Nick Perry. I hope he ends up better, but at the very least, he's not hurt yet.

I don't think they expect him to set an edge - not much of a run stopper. Pass rush and coverage seem to be his strengths.

Again, it's pretty early on. He's not ready and there are two/three OLB ahead of him for pass rush, and plenty of run stoppers. He got 9 snaps and 20 would seem to be his tops when they need inside pass rush on passing downs. rn he is situational and a project. I expect him to eventually overtake Fackrell who got 17 snaps, but not to be a huge part of this defense.

Hope you're right. He's kinda Nick Perry-esque right now. He has one move and it's pretty effective at getting pressure. I always thought you can do a lot worse than Perry if he would ever stay healthy.

[pbmax]

You can see evidence of his strength in his bull rush. But he's not Suh's level with it, where he will just throw the OT at the QB's feet. He needs work on a finishing move off it.

LaFleur on Marcedes Lewis: "I think he was the first one to put his arm around Shep after one of his miscues. I can't speak enough about the leader he is for this football team."
