In his first career start, Anthony Belton did not allow a single pressure in 28 pass blocking snaps

That'll do

Skip admitting he was wrong, saying Parsons was a game wrecker last night and the Packers are elite. Most of all saying he was wrong about Parsons and this team.

Never saw that coming

[Siefer]

I can't remember the last time a Packer's defense looked this good. 1996? The offense looks very good for stretches, but they're still leaving a lot on the table with misfires and sloppiness. If Love had been slightly sharper on long balls, or we'd had a few less penalties on the line, this one is a route.

Some fans complained about this pick, some wanted a corner here but this why they got him in the second round. Finding OL like that who can start vs a tough team and do well are incredibly valuable.

Have we come to expect Kraft to carry the load? Last night has to be one of Musgrave's better games too

Parsons for the win, even when being consistently held. Nixon's best game as a Packer?

The Parson's Effect, elevating the performance of his teamates

Admittedly I was low on Belton, but having OL depth is so crucial

Godspeed.

Wait until he has a bad game and we lose (which will certainly happen). He'll flip quick.

Snap Counts via Acme https://www.acmepackingcompany.com/green-bay-packers-depth-chart/70870/green-bay-packers-snap-counts-week-2-2025-washington-commanders

Running Back
49: Josh Jacobs - 1 SPT
11 Chris Brooks - 17 SPT
5: Emanuel Wilson - 4 SPT

So far this season, Chris Brooks has played 53 snaps for the Packers compared to Emanuel Wilson’s 11. Keep that in mind when MarShawn Lloyd comes off the injured reserve, as it appears that Wilson would be the first to go if Green Bay only had the space to hold onto three players at the position.

Wide Receiver
45: Romeo Doubs - 1 SPT
37: Matthew Golden - 3 SPT
36: Dontayvion Wicks - 1 SPT
22: Malik Heath - 9 SPT
10: Savion Williams - 5 SPT
4: Jayden Reed

Slot receiver Jayden Reed was injured early in the first quarter, leading to the Packers leaning heavier into a three-man rotation of Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden and Dontayvion Wicks. So far, Doubs leads the receivers in offensive snaps this year (78) with Golden (59) and Wicks (57) being virtually equal. Rookie third-round pick Savion Williams was much more involved in the game plan this week, as his only real snap in Week 1 was a jet sweep. He also contributed on special teams, as more than just a kick returner, which is all he did against the Detroit Lions.

Tight End
57: Tucker Kraft
20: Luke Musgrave - 10 SPT
19: John FitzPatrick - 9 SPT

At this point, don’t even consider Luke Musgrave a true number two tight end. Over two games, John FitzPatrick has played 34 offensive snaps to Musgrave’s 37. They’re used in different situations, with Musgrave as a pass-catcher and FitzPatrick as a blocker, but the title of “TE2” is much closer than most fans would assume.

Offensive Line
63: Jordan Morgan (LG) - 6 SPT
63: Elgton Jenkins (C)
63: Sean Rhyan (RG) - 6 SPT
63: Rasheed Walker (LT) - 6 SPT
46: Anthony Belton (RT) - 6 SPT
17: Darian Kinnard (RT) - 6 SPT
0: Donovan Jennings
0: Brant Banks - 4 SPT

To the surprise of many, it was Anthony Belton who received the most snaps at right tackle this week, following Darian Kinnard taking most of the snaps at the position once Zach Tom dropped against the Lions. Brant Banks, called up from the practice squad, got on the field in field goal protection over Donovan Jennings, who was a healthy scratch in Week 1.

Defensive End
44: Micah Parsons
41: Rashan Gary
33: Lukas Van Ness - 14 SPT
19: Kingsley Enagbare - 13 SPT
6: Barryn Sorrell

The restrictors are off of Micah Parsons. He played 68 percent of the defense’s total snaps and led the defensive end room. Interestingly, rookie Barryn Sorrell was not used up until Washington’s final drive of the game. The team must be slow-playing his return to the field. Sorrell was a significant contributor on special teams in the preseason, and special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia loves playing ends on his units. Expect for Sorrell’s snaps to ramp up in the coming weeks.

Defensive Tackle
49: Devonte Wyatt
44: Karl Brooks - 10 SPT
21: Colby Wooden - 5 SPT
3: Nazir Stackhouse - 6 SPT

Colby Wooden (34 snaps) and Karl Brooks (33) essentially split snaps at defensive tackle last week behind Devonte Wyatt, which makes Brooks’ doubling of Wooden’s reps this week odd. I’ll have to look at the film later this week to confirm, but I’m guessing that Wyatt actually had to play a lot of nose tackle in this game, considering the splits. Rookie Nazir Stackhouse remains a niche player who serves as a short-yardage and red zone run-stopper. On the year, he’s played just 11 snaps compared to Wyatt’s 96, Brooks’ 77 and Wooden’s 55.

Linebacker
65: Quay Walker - 5 SPT
64: Edgerrin Cooper - 5 SPT
7: Isaiah McDuffie - 21 SPT
0: Ty’Ron Hopper - 16 SPT
0: Nick Niemann - 16 SPT

Green Bay played pretty much the entire game in nickel against Washington. This is a pretty stark contrast to how the team opened up against the Lions in Week 1, when they were playing three-linebacker sets to Detroit’s three-receiver looks to stop the run.

Cornerback
65: Keisean Nixon - 8 SPT
38: Carrington Valentine - 8 SPT
31: Nate Hobbs - 4 SPT
0: Kamal Hadden - 3 SPT
0: Micah Robinson

Nate Hobbs and Carrington Valentine rotated at cornerback opposite Keisean Nixon, who might have had the best performance of any individual player in the game. On the year, Kamal Hadden has played zero defensive snaps and five special teams snaps. Micah Robinson, a practice squad call-up in back-to-back games, has failed to get on the field in any way. Robinson only has one more call-up available from the practice squad for the rest of the season.

Safety
65: Evan Williams - 11 SPT
65: Xavier McKinney - 12 SPT
55: Javon Bullard - 11 SPT
0: Kitan Oladapo - 12 SPT

Last week, the Packers started Javon Bullard as the 4-3 safety, but kicked him into the slot in nickel looks. This week, Evan Williams was the full-time safety starter, and Bullard mostly came off the bench as a slot-only defender, though he also split time there with cornerback Nate Hobbs.

He actually looked better so far than Connerly Jr who was drafted earlier and has been struggling in his first two games.

Never saw that coming

A lot of Dallas fans have been coping like crazy since the trade. I saw a lot them saying that our roster wasn't better than theirs, Micah doesn't stop the run, he disappears in the cold, he's a no-show in the playoffs, he's selfish blah blah blah. Green Bay is not Dallas, whatever happened there and whoever Parsons was when he was a Cowboy died after the trade. In GB there's no Jerry Jones enabling this loser mentality that was going on in Dallas. We can all see so far that Micah is a winner, couple that with the Packers culture, the city, the legends and of course winning and they won't recognize him by the end of the year.

Van Ness becoming this good is one thing....Nixon breaking up five passes and sticking with his man is another. I realize a good pass rush reduces the time a corner has to cover but Nixon went from looking lost two years ago, to a serviceable slot corner who makes dumb plays last year, to good outside corner this year.

Also Wyatt is playing very well

Nixon was grading out really highly all year last year as soon as they moved him outside to replace Jaire. It really went under the radar coming into the season, but I'm glad to see it seems like it was a forreal development, at least thus far.

That'll do

Could've sworn that his man got through and got a sack in the 1st or 2nd quarter, but maybe they gave it to the RG. After a rough couple of possessions when he was in, I didn't notice him after, which is a good sign.

PFF put that sack on Love for not getting rid of the ball fast enough. One could probably disagree and say it was on Belton if they wanted too

[Treebeard]

On the radio call, McCarren will lay blame or praise with fairness. He laid that particular sack on Belton but also singled him out as the lead blocker on one of Jacobs better runs.

By default, with Tom likely out for a time and Banks battling injuries, Belton likely plays a lot of snaps and hopefully he's a quick learner
