2024 Packers News, Transactions, Trades - Week 1 in Brasil v. Iggles

[ReasonablySober]

Well, Whelan is 14th in Yards/Avg and 14th in PFF in the whole NFL, so I'd say he has been average, not really bad.

I agree that our return game isn't getting many yards, but at least I don't see them doing stupid things like Amari and fumbling the ball every possesion.

As for Carlson, I am seeing he is getting worse in the past weeks, but I wouldn't say he is super bad. He is making the easy ones and missing the around 50yards field goals, so mediocre, IMO.

They're bringing the ball out, which is the very definition of stupid. Simply doing nothing and taking the free catch improves ST instantly.

It's worth noting AJ Dillon has been in PFFs top 5 offensive players for the Packers for 4 straight weeks

Week 5 3rd
Week 7 4th
Week 8 3rd
Week 9 5th

I don't see how. Being a top 5 player on a bad offense isn't notable especially when 11 guys play on the field at a time.

This probably has something to do with it

Dillon has been a little better lately. Granted, that's not saying much, but at least he's not tripping over his own feet so much. I still see no reason to keep him, but I'm going to stop calling him godawful for a little while.

ETA: Not surprised by the stats above. He's punishing tacklers a lot more lately.

Wicks is slowly making his way onto more lists like this. Really excited to see if/how he develops over the next couple of seasons.

Yikes! If Myers, Runyan, and Yosh are out Sunday, what's the lineup? Who plays Center? Tom or Jenkins, or door#3?

This is an interesting claim. Day 3 pick this past year.

He has appeared in 12 games with one start for the Packers, including four contests this season.

Go grab Michael Carter and see if there's something there.

I've brought it up several times but it's hard to not be impressed by our trio of young pass catchers. Reed, Wicks, & Musgrave all look really good for rookies

Some interesting data and opinion on the 2023 Packer Receivers:

https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2023/11/15/23961043/green-bay-packers-reacts-week-11-best-receivers-2024-nfl-draft-needs

....On paper, Christian Watson, who looked like the Packers’ best receiver last season, has been an incredibly inefficient target this season — in part because contested catch opportunities to the second-year player have turned into interceptions going the other way. Personally, I’m not sure that we’re seeing a 100 percent healthy Watson on the field right now, as he’s not separating in the same way that he was last year.

Along with Reed’s breakout, rookie fifth-round pick Dontayvion Wicks is also performing very well on a per-snap basis, which you would think would lead to an increased amount of snaps at some point. If I had to choose two outside receivers to roll with moving forward, I think I would bet on a Watson bounceback and give Wicks the nod over Romeo Doubs.

I'm all for giving Wicks more snaps, but don't think Doubs should lose snaps to Watson right now. Pair Wicks with Doubs on the outside and try and get Watson more touches from the slot, end-arounds, basically anything that gets him out in space with the ball. Reed can pretty much play inside/out, or in space and looks like he could be a legit playmaker.

Bummer about Ford, but that gives Johnson more reps. He looked good in his first start.
