Not saying anything new here, but Norman, unlike Sherman, has typically matched up against the other team's #1. This week got me thinking, though. Do you guys expect Norman to shadow Cobb given that he typically plays out of the slot? Jones? Mixed bag?

My guess is he just stays on the left side of the defense. He's never really covered the slot and neither Jones or Adams are appreciably better than the other so they aren't worth shadowing.

Love Bene, dude scares me sometimes. Makes some great plays, sometimes he can be way behind the play. 

He's struggling this year especially in the last two games. He had a lot of trouble with Jordan Matthews though the numbers don't show it due to Matthews dropping 3 or 4 balls when he was open. Then on Monday night he got burned by old ass Andre Johnson giving up 6/7 for 89 yards and a TD.

I have noticed that he is starting to get snaps outside again playing basically the same role that Captain Munnerlyn played in 2013 where he plays outside in the base subbing out Tillman and moves into the slot when we are in nickel. I think he needs to move outside full time after this year. We don't really have anyone else who can play slot CB except Colin Jones.

The matchup against Cobb worries me a great deal.

We we need to do is not give GB free plays.  They have cashed in on lobbing free balls wildly downfield on offsides this year.  Wouldn't have 6 wins without it IMO

So true. Our defensive front is going to need every ounce of discipline they can muster. Aaron Rodgers is a master of the hard count and if he gets a guy to jump they WILL snap the ball so he can take a shot down the field. They're incredibly successful at that as you pointed out.

Add in Delaire to that mix and we could give them a few opportunities. Delaire is so quick off the ball that Rodgers could catch him.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
