Studs and Duds, Iggles

[Anti-Polar Bear]

It rips the heart out of the punt coverage boys when they see that their safety is such a yellow bastard.

I've seen hip hop safety Taylor Rapp excel on the punt coverage team, so he ain’t no bastard. “Young Fat Ho”, as Ole Tex likes to say, is a legitimate NFL kicker with onside Kung Fu for the Falconers, so he, too, ain’t no bastard.

Wait, you’re talking about Scott? He’s definitely a sub par punter, but no fucking way is he “yellow.”

Btw, “Yellow” by Coldplay is arguably the greatest song of all time. Arguably b/c “Clocks” by Coldplay is great, too.

I don't think the turnover on the bottom of the roster has been any more severe than in previous years - which would be the only excuse you could hand a ST coach.

If you can't teach professional players how to stay in a lane during kickoffs and punts, what are you doing coaching in the NFL??

To the "duds" list I want to list at least the one MVS play in which he let a long, long pass from Rodgers bounce right off his chest. Man, you can't trust that guy. I am still hoping Encyclopedia St. Brown will pass him on the depth chart.

On the other side, that offensive line keeps getting shuffled but they're keeping The Franchise upright. The run blocking wasn't great but good enough.

And Davante Adams is just a beast. A technician and a beast.

Tonyan also getting the hang of things now.

ESB may start to see an increase in his snaps. But if he wants to pass MVS on the depth chart, he'll need to become the type of blocker MVS is. Jones doesn't run for a 77 yard TD without MVS' interference.

[Tony Oday]

Good Ole Bob Tonyan, man I am glad we got that guy.

MVS still can't catch and its starting to get sad. Lazard is a legit #2, Adams is ELITE. St Brown could be something if he can stay of the Injury Report. Gary is going to be a super stud, Preston is gone after this season, you can get his production from a cheaper option. Clark is ridiculously over paid and proves it week after week. JA is an elite CB.

This is a Super Bowl Team.

[SMBASS]

JA is a good CB but what in the hell were he and Savage doing on that TD pass from Hurt to Ward? 4th and 18 and neither one of them was within-3-4 yards of Ward when he caught the pass. Letting that kind of shit happen when you're playing soft prevent D is maddening. Ward is fast but Savage and JA aren't exactly slow either.

ESB may start to see an increase in his snaps.

Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout Willis!
A football player named after beer...

I got a giant dud for ya. Our ST coach, Shawn Mennenga is doing a shit job. Twice this year,I've seen some of the worst lane integrity in punt coverage that I've ever seen. Vs Jacksonville this year a guy got a 91 yard return for a TD. During that return, the GBP punt team had 5 players all in the same lane. Stay in your freakin lane and drive the returner to the middle of the field. That's tough to do when you have busted coverage in 4 lanes! The fullback calls the punt coverage and everybody rolls to their lanes to cover. The punter tracks to the ball and is the safety. Another problem is that our punter is the most gutless SOB this side of Garo Ypremian. I would take this kid aside and teach him his job when a returner is flying down that boundary. The safety shouldn't really have to make a play, but when he does, he has to lay out and be willing to eat some cleats and get a mouthful of grass. Scott is a card carrying coward who hasn't punted well. Those boundary lanes are to be defended at all costs. It rips the heart out of the punt coverage boys when they see that their safety is such a yellow bastard.

A big hell yeah to that. Even Mason Crosby coulda gotten Reagor on that punt return - although he probably would have missed the following week recovering.

BTW, nice use of colorful language from the guy who got me to quit using the f word (the 3 letter one) hahahaha.

[run pMc]

It was a tough ball but ESB let one go between his hands. I like him and would like to see him get healthy and find out if he can be productive. I'm just not 100% sure he's that much better than MVS.
Both those guys are like #4 WRs. They are lucky to have Tonyan and Lazard.

As for JK Scott, Jalen Reagor juked him similar to how Cole did but not as badly. He's terrible at tackling. Shawn Meningitis should be on the hot seat. They aren't doing anything crazy with their scheme - it's pretty basic to minimize confusion and mistakes, and they're happening anyway. Wouldn't shock me if they bring in serious competition at P next year. Scott's been all over the board as a punter. You can't have a guy who outkicks his coverage with a booming punt one time and shanks a 29 yarder the next.

As far as Crosby goes, he's been pretty clutch the last few seasons. You don't give up on a guy who can kick 48 yarders in Lambeau swirling December winds for some guy out of Florida A&M unless he's basically Legatron. Ask the Bears and Vikings how important a kicker is... they've had recent seasons end because of the kicker. Besides, the Philly kicker was off too.

What's the 3 letter "F" word?

FOK?

The “Big Dud” is starting to look like LaFluer’s play calling in tight spots. I’m starting too notice that when momentum swings which it does in the NFL quite a bit it affects LaFluer’s mental ability to be creative. He consistently gets scared and will rest his laurels on a handful of plays when things get tough.

Oh so predictable and this will not cut it!!! So Rodgers not only has to overcome talent deficiencies but now it’s become crystal clear he also has to overcome LaFluers LIMP play calling under pressure!!!

[GB-Brandon]

Sean McVay is a far better play caller then LaFluer. It’s not even Close actually.

Once again we’re running around with Jordan knock offs!!!

[GB-Brandon]

I don’t know how Aaron Rodgers isn’t the Hands down MVP this year!!!!! He has done so much more then Mahommes with less on nearly every level. To not give it to Rodgers at this point would be the biggest steal in modern day history!!!

Please, give specifics to support your argument.

Watch the Rams play. McCay runs much more exotic looks and concepts. While it’s not completely fair to Lafluer based on personnel he has compared to McVay he still needs to get better in “Critical Situatuons”. He still has Aaron Rodgers. Adams and Jones are Legit with some complimentary pieces in Tonyan and Lazard. I’d love to see T. Austin used to expand the playbook as well. We’ll see.

When we “Had To Have Plays” against the Bucc’s, Colts, Queens and even Eagles I’m noticing a disturbing trend. Like I’ve posted when things get tough and we need a big play I see a desperation to run to a handfull of plays. I get having your “Bread and Butter Plays” but good teams know this and can stop this. If we are sitting in front of the TV knowing it’s coming then I’m sure any competent NFL defense does as well.

As I posted against the Seahawks in the playoffs last year LaFluer schemed and drew up some new shit that was rather impressive that was used when we NEEDED A BIG PLAY. I haven’t seen it as much this year. All I’ve seen is pitch plays and WR screens and 1 on 1 lobs. Maybe an out route here and there during these “Critical Situatuons”

Go back and look when we needed a big play against the teams I listed. It’s gonna need to get better if we’re gonna have a chance in critical situations.

[Cheesehead Craig]

So the argument is "just watch". Gotcha.

Don't feed the trolls.

Last year it was the numerology. He promised to deliver and then, amazingly, didn't.

Then he predicted who was going to be in the Owl and who was going to win it. Guaranteed. Neither of his picks made it to the Owl.

Don't feed the trolls.
