Packers vs. Rams Discussion Thread

[Fritz]

Rudy Ford not practicing today. Could be down to Jonathan Owens, Dallin Leavitt, Anthony Johnson and Zayne Anderson at Safety. Anderson and Leavitt are primarily special teams players.

Even a second-string QB would be licking his chops.

WILDE and TAUSCH, two of the best Homers, seems to be starting to turn.

I will say this....BOTH OF THEM.....often note, they think way more of Yosh than the Packers coaches and GM do

As I pointed out, the play calling indicated they believed in Yosh more than Walker. The TE help disappeared when he entered the game. It really makes no sense. He is in the doghouse for some reason other than his play on the field.

Ford has a calf. Quay Walker has a groin.

Stenavich was asked right away at his PC this week about Yosh. Started out by talking about a hands to the face penalty. Then admitted that Yosh "battled", "which was good". Based on this and what he said about Yosh this past summer, I get the idea he doesn't think much of Yosh's work habits. https://www.packers.com/video/adam-s...th-the-mindset

Stenavich is a good OL coach, but I suspect a bad OC. Most of the reporters have mentioned that Walker had a better training camp than Njiman did, and given he's younger and under contract I get why they had him as Bahktiari's backup. I think Walker's regressed since then and Njiman is steadier. It could be that Njiman is more of a gamer than a consistent practice guy. Either way, I think it benefits them to play Njiman at T over Walker for now.

McVay has listed Stafford as questionable and a game-time decision if he'll play. My guess is he doesn't, but if he does that changes the betting odds a bit.

GB has scored 9 points in their last 25 first half possessions. NINE. If they can start faster they might be able to play with a lead for a change and force a hurt Stafford or Brett Rypien to throw the ball up for grabs.

You mean “ throw the ball to wide-open receivers while the Packer safeties and corners botch coverages or just can’t cover their guys or their zones.”

It was a clusterfuck with Ford and Douglas; imagine it with their backups playing instead.

Did he mention Walkers 2 penalties and 3 whiffs? I'm not at practice, so I can't say what goes on there, but I watch games. Yosh has been the better tackle in every single game I have ever watched either of them save perhaps the first preseason yosh arrived.

I'll say this. That answer confirms that its personal between them. If Stenavich is the OC and calling the plays he is the one who removed the TE help. I first thought it meant he knew Yosh didn't need it as much, but now I'm thinking he actually may have been trying to get him to fail. The fact that walker had at LEAST 5 bad snaps that I identified in less time than Yosh who had 2 says it all. If Stenavich chose to focus on one of those 2 instead of the really good work Yosh did in both run and pass blocking it screams bias.

Two things game film clearly notes with our OL

Josh is better than Walker
AND
Myers absoluty sucks and was one of Gutebag's several F'ck ups

[Vincenzo]

How are we favored to beat anybody at this point?

I still can’t figure this out and it’s Friday night now - total head shaker.

Maybe they think our Pack can right the Ship this week?
From what I’ve seen so far this season, I’d say there’s a slim chance

[Fritz]

I can’t imagine you can keep trotting Walker out there with a straight face. These guys may be coaching for their jobs, so as much as you may dislike Nijman’s work habits, you seem to have a better chance of winning with Nijman than Walker. Also, is Walker learning and going to be better with this “live bullets” experience, or are they just punishing Nijman.

Would Adam Stenavich have benched Max McGee?

[bobblehead]

Stafford is questionable and the Rams are bad. That is how we are favored.

[Bretsky]

yup

With a healthy Stafford GB loses for sure. But it sounds like they are rollling out Brett Rypien. That is why GB should win.

The homers might come out hard, but beating a banged up Rams team w/o a QB is no big thing

[Sparkey]

Nijman will be starting at LT tomorrow.
