How do you Linley overraters and Myers detractors explain the excellent inside running game we've had the past two seasons - far better than we had with Linsley as Center?

Can you provide proof that it's 'far better'? What does 'far better' mean?Originally posted by texaspackerbacker View PostHow do you Linley overraters and Myers detractors explain the excellent inside running game we've had the past two seasons - far better than we had with Linsley as Center?
There are statistics that tell you the offense did poorly on 4th downs and also inside the 5 with Myers at starter this year compared with 2 years ago.

Well, Tex has been complaining for years that Bach sucks and we can't run outside zone. So that means we can only run inside zone. And Tex remembers that one play where Myers had a good block so he must be better.Originally posted by run pMc View PostCan you provide proof that it's 'far better'? What does 'far better' mean?

Actual numbers:
2022: 456 attempts, 2,113 yards, 12 TDs, 4.63 YPC
2021: 446 attempts, 1,900 yards, 13 TDs, 4.26 YPC
2020: 443 attempts, 2,118 yards, 16 TDs, 4.78 YPC
2019: 411 attempts, 1,795 yards, 18 TDs, 4.37 YPC
2018: 333 attempts, 1,667 yards, 14 TDs, 5.01 YPC
Of course totals don't tell you what the play call was or not.But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

1) We had great inside running with Lindsey. 2) Myers was damn good his rookie year, but regressed this last season. Not totally uncommon coming off an injury. I'll be interested in year 3.Originally posted by texaspackerbacker View PostHard to believe Myers isn't appreciated. We never had much inside running with Linsley. Myers is about as good for pass blocking and way better for run blocking.The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince Lombardi

At least you got your last line right. I'm fairly sure a whole lot more of those successful runs were up the middle/in the guard-center gap. And a lot of failed outside runs were to Bakhtiari's side. Claiming Myers had a good block on "one play" is both blind and stupid. Somebody said Myers regressed after the injury in his second season ....... maybe some. It's also possible the Guard play wasn't as good.Originally posted by ThunderDan View PostWell, Tex has been complaining for years that Bach sucks and we can't run outside zone.

As for Linsley, he was good too, although I still don't think he was as good as Myers. And Linsley was commanding way too much money. It was a good move to let him go.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

I don't know who he played for, but it reminds me a lot of Art Briles' offense: quick to formation, widely spaced receivers, deep routes, small route tree. This forces the defense to play a lot of man. QB reads only left or right half of the field, picks his target based on alignment and feasts off the fourth-best receiver being better than the fourth-best DB. Throw in QB/RB delayed handoff drawing safetys close, pulling OL on every play, and CFB's more generous downfield-blocking tolerance, and it's a vicious concept that doesn't translate well to the pros.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostHendon Hooker? 2nd might be a little early. But it's early. He'd be a developmental guy who ran a spread offense very different from NFL offenses.Last edited by NewsBruin; 02-14-2023, 09:09 PM.I believe in God, family, Baylor University, and the Green Bay Packers.

Might just go to his five-car garage and have an epiphany after tripping over the lawnmower.Originally posted by Fritz View PostIsh, that seems like EXACTLY the kind of thing Rodgers would do.
Not sure how the security part would work. Maybe the facility has private security all over the place. And someone to greet you after four days without light, to re-orient you. Bet that messes a person up.I believe in God, family, Baylor University, and the Green Bay Packers.

Didn't Leonhard turn down the Packers DC job 2 years ago?Originally posted by call_me_ishmael View PostJimmy in Philly. Why did GB not make the call? Flower is a good coach but won’t be great if he won’t try to get incremental
