Will St. Brown ever play again?

“We’re Really Bullish On St Brown”

[GB-Brandon]

It’s almost time to send St. Brown to the “Glass Factory”

Lions have flowers, a really good pass rusher and overall defender. They're weak on the interior DL but have good inside backers and safeties. They're young and mostly weak at corner.

Packers gonna want to help out on flowers, and isolate the young corners. Either a big day for Adams, or if Patricia wants to bracket Adams a lot, a big day for Lizard and Marquez Valdez Scantling and/or Swerv.

Jones and company should be able to get 4 consistently (without many big one's) due to a weak Detroit front, but solid ILB/S group. Gonna want to be patient and disciplined on penalties cuz 2nd n 6 / 3rd n 2 gon be 12s friend. 2nd and 18 cuz a hold gonna be big problem.

Packers can slow the Packers with penalties. Or if 12 tries to take more than what's there. But patience and a methodical, disciplined approach could easily lead to a couple huge MVS shots and an overall dominant offensive performance.

Defensively, packers weak up the middle without Clark. Other than that, solid. Detroit is weak on the interior OL. Should be a wash there. Detroit probably gonna go a little bigger and force Barnes on the field. Could be a decent rush offense for Detroit if they keep.the score close, with probable rookie mistakes by Barnes.

Stafford doesn't really have the weapons to light it up, but Hockenson could have a big day if they're not careful.

Lions definitely have a shot. It's either gonna be really close with Packer penalties and/or 12 getting impatient or trying to relive week 1.

Or it could be a blow out. If Detroit gets down, they fall into a horrible matchup with an undermanned offense going against a top pass defense along with undermanned pass rush against 12 and a cohesive group of weapons.

[RashanGary]

History says it's gonna be close, and the Lions do have the team to keep it there if a few things bounce their way

But 12 is playing generational QB play right now and his history is once it's on, it's on for a while. Pretty sure 12 is finna light em up. First by methodically taking whats there and then with shots that should open up as the game progresses.

I don't think it is gonna be that close.

Pettine should have coached them up to compensate for the loss of Clark and to play prevent without sagging back too much. Somebody did a good job covering Rudolph last week. They ought to be able to do the same to Hockenson. I think Stafford is better than Cousins, but I doubt the Lions O Line can stifle the Smiths and Gary like the Vikings did. Rodgers should have another big day. Aaron Jones should have a much better day. I wouldn't be surprised if Dillon rumbles for a long gain too.

Sounds about right.

[RashanGary]

Lions without starting DT Nick Williams. A weakness made weaker with a short rotation inside and a rookie starting. Packers should be able to churn out some regular yards (maybe not huge gains with their ILB and safety group being the strength of their D) but some consistent regular 4 yarders in Jones favorite spot to hit, the inside zones and cut backs.

[RashanGary]

It’s looking more and more like some methodical, consistent run game at the soft spot in their D. And some methodical, consistent targets at their inexperienced and/or marginally talented corner group.

Might be a day to see a little less TEs and a little more 3WRs. Just force the lions to either play a plethora of corners who have no experience or if they choose to lean on the ILBs, I love Lazard, Adams and MVS chances of beating a linebacker.

If we were to stack bigger bodies, it would play to the lions ILB strength. I just don’t see LaFleur as the kind of guy who wants to make it easier on anyone by playing to their strength

[smuggler]

I sure wouldn’t want to be the Fucken Moron that has laid 5.5 points in this one!

It's me. I'm that fukken moron. Put $50 on GB -5.5

[RashanGary]

1 HB (Jones/Williams/Dillon/Swerv)
2 WR Adams
3 WR Lazard
4 WR MVS
5 Hybrid (Mercedes/Tonyan/Deguara/Williams/Swerv)

Always a run option so a HB for sure with that being so deep and their DL so weak. 3 WRs to stress their thin coverage group. And then a bunch of hybrid guys mixing in. Each brings something a little different as far as what they stress on the defense. But I think 3 wide will be a staple.
