    Studs and duds Dallas edition

    Studs

    Christian Watson The kid done good at last

    Rudy Ford We were due to get a splash guy out of our bench and we got him

    Jarran Reed. Never felt that Joe B was using this guy properly. He got snaps and showed up big time. 6 QB pressures including 3 hits. He kicked ass all game long and whoever was across from him damned sure knew he was there.

    There were other studs but I’ll leave those to our savvy rat posters to say who they were

    Duds

    Amari Rodgers We may have to create a new category to detail what a piece of shit this goof is. Uber Dud, Dipshit of the year? whatever

    We had a triple dud this game. All 3 TE’s graded in the bottom 5 offense players on PFF Big Dog checked in with a 40.8 and Degaura & Tonyan weren’t far behind.

    There were several guys with so so games, but I’ll leave those to the board to detail ‘em.

    A good emotional win. It’s a suck season, maybe we can dredge up a few miracle games and find something to build on here.

    Studs

    Sammy Watkins - Caught all 3 of his targets for 47 yards. Would have had more yards if one pass wasn't thrown behind him. Blocked well.

    Aaron Rodgers - Had 146.7 rating despite a couple drops by Watson. Kept going to Watson

    Aaron Jones - Had 3 explosive runs among his 138 rushing yards.

    Duds

    Darnell Savage - Gave up 5 receptions for 75 yards.

    Kenny Clark - Just not having much impact
    I can't run no more
    With that lawless crowd
    While the killers in high places
    Say their prayers out loud
    But they've summoned, they've summoned up
    A thundercloud
    They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen

                No love for Enagbare here? He was my sleeper from the draft. A guy who "underperformed" at the combine but was a stud in the SEC I said at the time. I think we found a guy there. He had a decent game. Honestly, as a rookie he isn't bad.

                  I'll take that, thank you.

                  KY, you know I'm an amateur here, so when you wrote "Jarran Reed. Never felt that Joe B was using this guy properly," I'd be interested to know how he was being mis-used and what changed in that game.

                    People seem pretty split on Jarren Reed - they think he's either having a decent year or he's washed up.
                    Haven't really watched him closely enough to say, I guess he seems 'ok'. Anyone watching the DL notice him?

                    Re: Enagbare, he's made plenty of mistakes to go with occasional flash plays, but dude is improving and for a R5 rookie that's important. He's much less likely than Rashan Gary to cheat on a run play, but he's not going to replace Gary's production. They'll need more EDGE depth in the draft. Preston is good if aging and Gary will likely be eased back into the lineup early next season.

                      I haven't heard anybody comment on it in here or even on the broadcast of the game. Enagbare got his fingers on the ball on Ford's first interception, altering the flight just a bit. I saw it on the replay.

                        This my own observation , but Reed is an old fashioned, root hog 3 tech. An ugly, country strong DLineman. Put in front of the guard and let him beat on his ass. He had 6 hurries in this ball game. Most of em were off plain old bull rushes. Reed likes to pound the shit out of his man. After a bunch of his strong rushes, if Reed does execute a swim or a spin move, they work bc the OLine boys are covering up. They are aware that Reed might knock them on their ass if they don't have a strong base. Reed can go out to a 5 tech, but he's better inside, being a blacksmith.

                        In this game, Reeds strong play was off set by Kenny Clark having a shit game. I think Clark is hurt, as most guys are this time of year.

                          When Kenny Clark isn't producing, he's usually pretty banged up.

                          And thank you for that explanation. Now if Joe Barely is reading Packerrats, he will follow your advice and play him at the 3, and keep moving Clark around. Play Slaton at the nose a bit, play Wyatt at the 5 a bit.

                            You got it coach. Wyatt left the game and I didn't see what his injury was. That kid is scary with his foot speed. if he gets stronger and learns how to be violent with his hands, he can be a player.

                              KY, since you're giving lessons, what's your take on Quay Walker?

                              My amateur observation is he's smart and disciplined but still thinking things through. Fast but lean.
