Packers Picks I Liked

Royce and Myers have been sliding down the ladder so much the last 18 months, I kinda have to wonder... what the hell?

I agree. In the fake gameday thread I lament the super strength and depth of the OL disappearing overnight.

Another bum snap from Myers. Sorry, Tex. He’s messed up, PTSD from Rodgers or something. Also it looks like Van Ness is very much a long term work in progress.

Right now LVN's best move is his bull rush. Not a bad thing to have, but he needs to add other moves. He may be most effective right now as an inside rusher, ala Z. Not sure he's been doing much of that in preseason games.

He did have a nice bull rush on the play where Enagbare got his strip sack. LVN might have had the sack if Enagbare hadn't gotten there first. https://twitter.com/i/status/1693065675437178974

Myers snapped early because he thought someone on the DL jumped. Myers thought wrong. It's correctable.
Most of the recent snap issues were apparently with the #2 and #3 OL's, and not in shotgun. All the same, Myers needs to step it up.

But he’s not a rook here. Dude guessed wrong on that early snap. By now, these bad snaps - to anyone - have to be concerning.

If hhe's going to snap the ball early, he has to be sure that guy jumped offsides. He can't just guess. The only way he's not at fault here is if the guy was clearly offsides and Myers was victimized by a really bad non-call by the officials.

Its becoming an Amari Rodgers type thing. How long do they tolerate it and wait for the course correction before it starts to cost them real games? I like Myers more than most, but he is not acquitting himself very well this preseason. Guys need to be accountable. If he can't be more effective he needs to be replaced.

Edit: I watched the replay on DVR. The defender barely flinched. He was not offside.

Myers may need to adjust to the fact that Love is not as obsessed with catching teams offsides as Rodgers was. Just stick with the play unless the offsides is really obvious.

Myers continues to be an excellent run blocker and an average or above average pass blocker. The bad snap was a mistake, a mistake in preseason - get over it. Everybody's pet OLine guy, Tom, made a couple of mistakes in that game too. What do ya'all want? Damned Jake Hanson at Center? sheeesh

Nobody wants Jake Hanson there. But Tom is a real option. They will stick with Myers for now. But if Rasheed Walker continues to improve, putting Walker or Yosh at RT and Tom at C could happen.

[texaspackerbacker]

I don't think Tom has shown the inside run blocking strength that Meyers has, not even close. I like Walker. If he improves enough, move Tom back to the "6th man" - back up all along the O Line.

I only catch the Packer games that come on over-the-air in Alabama, but I (selectively?) remember a lot of offsides or substitution penalties that could have happened in 2022 if we had snapped the ball but we let our opponents get reset.

Myers is a bad run blocker if there is a player lined up over him. He is average at stopping a strong bull rush at best. He is elite at second level run blocking. The problem is that teams watch film and its not long before every team lines someone up on his nose.

Edit: And this is what I meant when I said some guys excuse mistakes as a one off. Myers has had 2 bad snaps in games and another 4? in camp. Its now a pattern.

Tom has shown it (and more), but if you haven't seen it, I reiterate my point.

Some think Myers would be better off at Guard. It won't happen this year, but with Runyan being a free agent in 2024, a possibility for the future.
