More Banjo - Packers vs. Texans

Rhyan is off to a very good start. Myers is also having a decent year. Both are playing better than the Myers-RunyanJr. of last year thru 7 games.

Good somebody notices and believes their eyes hahahaha. Actually, they weren't that bad last season either - most of the good runs were up the middle, and most of the rushing of the QB was not up the middle.

As for the blitzing or not, does sending a fourth in a 3-4 count as a blitz, while sending four in a 4-3 dos not? That could explain the percentages.

Generally, sending 4 is not considered a blitz no matter what the alignment.

Packers are blitzing less this year than last year (20% vs. 30%), but they already have 8.5 sacks from LB's and DB's vs. 4.5 all last year. Better players for sure, but probably better deception.

Way better. How often have 2 LBs lined up over the guards only to have one, both, neither come. I haven't seen how the DBs are coming because the camera usually focuses on the middle, but I'd imagine they are lining up to cover the slot and coming off that.

Bringing D Backs on blitzes is high reward but also high risk. Hafley has done a good job of making it work so far, but hopefully he keeps it rare enough that the opponents don't catch on - a lot like running your wideouts on offense.
