Packers against QBs that can run

So far this year, they have faced three quarterbacks with running abilities, they have struggled mightily and clearly do not have someone on the defense that can spy.

 

Three running quarterbacks:

26 carries, 168 yards, 6.4 YPC.

Cam and Mike Shula are most likely licking their chops watching the tape.

 

Not to mention, the last three games versus the running attack in general, it looks like this:

90 carries, 409 yards, 4.5 yards a carry. If you take away a terrible Chargers running attack it looks a lot better. We should be running on them all game long.

 

They are also one of the worst teams in covering good receiving tight ends, they haven't been able to contain them all season long. This matchup is very good for us and we can win it if we avoid turnovers and keep A-Rod on edge.

I said it earlier in the week. Win the turnover battle, control TOP, and pressure Rodgers, we win.

Also, expect Cam to go off in a big way. I'm expecting an absolutely terrific day for him, barring dropped passes plaguing us. Just a gut feeling, no real rhyme or reason. I'm not at all worried for us defensively, I think we'll survive just fine on that front and be able to contain their offense so long as the offense keeps our defense off of the field for extended periods of time. If we can average 5 minute drives this game, man that'd be huge. That's assuming we get about 2.5 possessions per quarter. With GB not having the greatest rushing attack, we may get 3-4 possessions per quarter even. If that happens, that means our defense is getting 3 and outs consistently throughout the game, which means we have to maximize our possessions and get points. Get 2 TDs up and I am fine with field goals, because our defense is going to play out of it's mind this game. Gotta think they have a bad taste in their mouth with Luck moving the ball like he did in the 4th and OT.

The game plan really does need to be "run the damn ball", but I will lose my facilities if they come out and just continue to run three straight up the gut and out in three. Yes, you need to run the dive to keep them honest, they just could use a little more creativity in how they call the counters, tosses and draws. I remember when Stew and Williams both rushed for over 1K, it was because they were able to pop it outside and take advantage of the over pursuit from the DE. With that said, I know that DE's are a lot less likely to over pursue with Cam and his running ability, but there has to be a way to create opportunities on the edge. I also know Stew is a power runner, but he does have good speed and vision. Just babbling.... Don't mind me.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
