official packers vs broncos gameday thread

[bobblehead]

I definitely agree that this will be a great opportunity to see how the re-worked offensive line is coming along. I don't know all that much about football and particularly line play, but it seems to me that Rhyan at center is maybe, maybe an upgrade over Jenkins at center. I don't know how he's doing with the calls and adjustments, and I understand he's not a great pass blocker, but he doesn't seem any worse than Jenkins? And we'll see how Belton grows as a blocker and particularly as a pass blocker as he gets more playing time under his belt.

If I recall correctly, you're kind of a fan of Rasheed Walker - kinda sorta anyway - but I think he gets shoved backward an awful lot and gets the pocket collapsing on Love from the left. So I think he's key to today's game - if he can hold up against the rushers coming from his side. Zach Tom seems to be settled back in again as a very good blocker. That's good to see.

I wonder sometimes if coaches build game plans in games like these (AFC opponent) to just a little bit give the offensive line work on what it needs to work on. In other words, call some plays to give the offensive line practice on, say, running the ball in the middle, or pass blocking. Probably they don't have that luxury, I suppose.

You seem to sum up my feelings on Rasheed Walker pretty accurately. He seems to have regressed a little this year. I just am terrified of going into next season without a definite answer at left tackle. I was a fan of Jordan Morgan coming out, but they have jerked that kid around so much that I'm worried now.

The Bronco defense is no joke. Maybe the best secondary in football and the best pass rush by a large margin. Their offense is average with a decent run game and pass game. Nix doesn't get sacked very often, but he doesn't have Love's experience so you can fool him.

This will be a game where the Pack has to take 12 or more plays to score because that secondary doesn't give up big plays. People will be upset with the run first game plan of MLF, but they have to stay out of 3rd and long. Their pass rush is too strong and Walker is a liability.

Low scoring game could go either way.

Go Pack.

[ThunderDan]

The Bourbon with a quick hit after the catch.

[ThunderDan]

If Valentine breaks a split second earlier that is a pick 6.

[beveaux1]

Parsons!!

[ThunderDan]

Cooper.

[Joemailman]

Parsons!!

Can't play the run.

[MadScientist]

They took their time with the call, but they at least got it right.

[ThunderDan]

Go for it.

[ThunderDan]

Denver players are a bunch of punks. Pushing Love down after the play.

[Teamcheez1]

Why are we going wide against this defense?
Jet sweeps, off tackle runs, etc. are not going to work.

[ThunderDan]

Why the fuck are we running a toss sweep on 3 and less than a yard?

Trying to show who's boss.
