Matt Lafleur being super uptight, calling it a business trip and saying players can go see London when they’re not playing a game and saying he stayed in the hotel on his previous trips and saying players should do the right thing. Rodgers saying they want to go out to a pub and have a Guinness and see the culture.

We’ll see how they handle it.

I can understand why the Frog (LaFluer) is all business - he fears the Packers would seek too much pleasure and get embarrassed internationally on and off the field.

On the other hand, I also dig Butte’s perspective. Overrated Yokozuna, Kenny “Cletidus” Clark, has never been outside of the US til this week, which is surprising cos he, averaging an overpaid salary of $18M/yr, certainly does not lack the frogskins to transverse this fragile and lonely planet. British cuisine sucks, but the Brits are humble, sophisticated and classy. Would do the players good to truly experience said and said and said.

Triple post.

With the complete lack of any offensive threat outside of Barkley, might it make sense to throw a spy on him? Maybe someone like Quay who has the wheels to keep up?

[RashanGary]

If jaire is back, this looks like a good game to load the box.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

He has to play, and play well. But it would be perfect if he did so for the second MN game.

To be honest, I find all the fuckdoggle debates hilarious. It ain’t like Rudy beats the odds, makes an NFL roster and picks off Tom Brady to win a Super Bowl. Most of the current underdog candidates were once top dogs at lower levels. If they pimp out and play well in the NFL, they pretty much are just doing their fucking job.

Don't turn the ball over (turnovers are killing them) and tackle Barkley. That will get them most of the way.
Rodgers can drink all he wants after he plays like an MVP.

Yeah, for once I’d like to see the Packers play a clean game this year. Turnovers are handicapping mass and velocity (also known as momentum). No pooping out rocks. No Bert Favoresque picks.

Bakhtiari did not practice, but will play.

[RashanGary]

Jaire is going. Might as well bring that extra safety down and let the corners and savage cover the deep part of the field.

Throw the Giants off. Go with a 4-3 defensive alignment with a safety in the box as your 3rd LB. Play two high safeties with CB’s in press coverage. Bring a safety up depending on the offensive alignment.

You would take Quay or Campbell off the field with the Giants run game and their need to use it with D. Jones playing hurt? Three Safeties when we may only have one quality Safety available? And one of our excellent three Corners on the bench?

I'd play man coverage on the outside and Douglas on the slot receiver, a 3-4 with the OLBs warned to do a damn good job setting the edge - a higher priority than pass rush on all but obvious pass situations. That still leaves two high Safetys. If Amos can't play, I'd play Nixon at Slot Corner and Douglas at Safety. I would definitely not play zone with our ILBs in the short zones.

[Teamcheez1]

4 - Smith, Gary, Clark, Lowry
3 - Campbell, Walker, 3rd safety or LB
Secondary - Amos, Savage, Stokes, Alexander
Douglas may come in for nickel in place of LB/ Safety

We don’t lose a LB with a 4-3.

[texaspackerbacker]

That's basically the two man line thing Barry played against good passing teams or obvious passing situation. You don't lose a LB hahahaha; You lose two D Linemen, which most of the time wouldn't bother me, but with Barkley the Giants propensity to run the ball, it's not the time for a two man line. It's only 4-3 if you label the two OLBs as DEs.
