Adams to Reserve/Covid-19 List

[Fritz]

If Adams misses the game, it'll suck for us and we'll probably lose, but that's life.

If however the Pack followed the league's rules and still are out a good deal of players for Thursday due to Covid (remains to be seen), the league should heavily consider moving the game to Sunday.

If Adams misses the game, this would be a chance for the Lizard and ESB to step up - actually get some targets and see what they can do. I think ESB is in Rodgers's doghouse, so perhaps this will be ESB's last chance to change that perception.

If Rodgers doesn't throw to Cobb 20 times.

These things can sometimes help a team in that it forces Rodgers to throw it to other people - and if they come through, then maybe that'll help in a key game down the line when somebody with a really good plan and personnel actually slows down Adams.

In games where Adams has been out, they emphasized using the backs and TEs. I went thru those games in a previous thread -- Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams were getting something like 15 targets in the passing game and they were running the ball a lot too.
Rodgers will spread the ball around more with Adams out, but MLF is also going to adjust the scheme a little bit.

With Adams out it will be Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon carrying the load (20-25 carries, 10-12 targets), and Tonyan, Cobb and Lazard getting about 10-12 targets.

In a lot of ways, the offense flows smoother without Adams. Rodgers gets off on those adjustment and chemistry wins. He chases it. When he doesn’t have that, he just throws to the open guy and makes good presnap decisions to look for the open guy right away. I wouldn’t doubt if we have our best offensive performance without Adams.

[Vincenzo]

Yeah. Apparently hes fully vax so it would be a breakthrough infection. Theoretically he could test negative Tues and Wed and still play but it doesnt look good. Of all the weeks to have a Thursday game.

[SudsMcBucky]

Can now add Lazard to the Covid list.

This week is turning into a slow motion car wreck.

This week is turning into a slow motion car wreck.

This Per Packerswire:

down to Randall Cobb, Equanimeous St. Brown and Amari Rodgers as the only available receivers on the roster. Marquez Valdes-Scantling could come off injured reserve and play, and Juwann Winfree and Chris Blair are both available on the practice squad

[NewsBruin]

Oy, that sucks, but it's better to know now. I hope all the other skill players have been asked if there's even the slightest chance of them showing up on the list.

Tonyan's also a good receiver. I could see the Packers loading up for run and trying a Brady-era Pats offense of twitchy-quick routes on Thursday.

[texaspackerbacker]

Don't forget Malik Taylor. We'll be fine - assuming none of them breathed on Rodgers.

[bobblehead]

And what does that tell ya'all? Do I really need to say it?

It says Rodgers focuses too much on his buddy and should really be looking at other targets a lot more often and if he did we might have beaten TB and won an Owl.

[bobblehead]

Maybe we should trade for Cole Beasly....

[George Cumby]

What's wrong with you?

Rodgers does it all on his own.

You infidel.

Every year I have felt AROD gets us to 9 wins. Having him as well as an outstanding coach on offense gives us a shot at this game.

With Devante out, with or without the other WR"s the key to this game was Matty devising an offense game plan with Aaron Jones at it's center. He absolutely excelled a couple games last year when Adams was out. I'm expect that to occur Thursday as well. I'm thinking his all purpose years will be north of 150 with a couple scores.

With that being said, I don't expect them to beat AZ; but I think it's going to be a really fun game to watch

I think this is the logical expectation. As a twist, I'd like to see Green Bay trot out four wide receivers and Jones in the backfield on its first possession, just to throw AZ off. Throw the ball on first down, maybe a deep shot to ESB, run out of that formation on second down. Mess up AZ. Then you can go back to the idea you've forwarded there, which perhaps should include both Jones and Dillon on the field. I'd like to see how Dillon can block as a FB, too.

Bretsky, I like your attitude - it'll be a fun game to watch, no matter the outcome. With so many players out for GB, it seems to lessen the tension. Let's see a good show. Particularly if the defense can actually step up.

[Fosco33]

So Lazard is in protocol bc he’s not vaxd and was around Adams (who is vaxd and had a breakthrough case).

Just let that sink in for a min.
