#Packers DC Joe Barry said he was very pleased with the results of playing lots of man and putting Jaire Alexander on Garrett Wilson against the Jets. He didnt promise a lot more of it but said there likely will be more matching with Alexander.

Nice that you could join us, Coach.

I'm more worried about Heinicke at QB than Wentz.

Cobb and Watson did not practice. On the bright side, Jake Hanson didn't practice either.

Last year they sacked Heinicke 4 times, and intercepted him once. Yet, he rushed for 95 yards. Need to be disciplined with the pass rush.

Let's see . . . he's responding to an issue from the very first game, and we're six games in. By my calculations, he should be landing on some solutions for the porous defense of the Jets game in . . . week thirteen or so.

The #Packers planned to retool their offensive line today, sources say, with Elgton Jenkins moving to left guard. But with LT David Bakhtiari (knee) now listed as questionable, it may not be possible. The focus all week was securing that O-line and blocking better.

Be interesting to see what they do today. Hopefully it doesn't involve Newman. I think he's let his bad play get into his head and needs to watch some film, get stronger, and come back better. Meanwhile, Njiman and maybe Tom should see time. Worried about Bahk but since he's played several games in a row you'd think he's doing ok and getting better. Hopefully nothing too serious.

Cobb and Hanson to IR. LaDarius elevated to 53. Watkins will play, Watson won't. Will Toure?

NFL rules allow the team to bring eight players off of injured reserve during a single season. Green Bay’s injured reserve currently stands at five players after the Cobb and Hanson moves, as they join safety Vernon Scott, inside linebacker Krys Barnes and outside linebacker Tipa Galeai on the list.

This is Bakh’s last year with Packers. His contract, availability, and future injury risk end his time here.

What do they gain by cutting him in cap space? Would another offseason help his recovery? I think when Rodgers goes, he goes. Gute might like him enough to keep him.
As it is, he's ruled out vs. WAS and it looks like it will be Njiman and Jenkins at T today, which is not good news against a good WAS DL. Their corners aren't great but if Rodgers doesn't have time to throw it's going to be tough to exploit them. MLF needs a great plan and players need to execute it today. Also, if the D can shut down Heinicke and force some turnovers that would help. Packers D hasn't done that since... Tampa?

Looks like his cap hit for 2023 is 29M while his dead cap would be 23M. I assume June 1 designation could impact those numbers. So... roughly 6M savings to cut your former All-Pro starting LT? I'm no cap guru.
I think this season has to play out, and they have to see how he looks by end of it, as well as the rest of the roster and their cap.

They have one of the highest paid QBs, LTs, and CBs in the league, plus Aaron Jones makes a lot and Rashan will want to get paid. I think they'll try to run it back again next year and hope for "Year 2 Leap" versions of Watson/Doubs unless the bottom falls out this year.

I think he'll retire. He's 31 years old. He's made tens of millions. Why risk walking with a limp the rest of your life?
