our red zone problems last season are not all the blame of the OL, we didn't run near enough, and not having a great receiver like Adams hurt as well

for some reason Lafleur or maybe Rodgers didn't use or call enough running plays

It’s interesting the improvement in ST play was only marginal in terms of overall rankings according to Gosselin’s rankings, which I don’t dispute, but as perceived by Packer fans, it was head-and-shoulders better than the previous year(s).

I guess after being conditioned to watching atrocious ST play for so long, mere competent play becomes eye popping.

Article out on Packers.com detailing Samori Toure's work in the offseason. He hit the weight room and added 8 pounds, which puts him up around 199.

"If you guys would see Samori right now, you wouldn't even recognize the guy from last year, his growth," said receivers coach/passing game coordinator Jason Vrable at the start of organized team activities in May. "He's probably, of everybody, the one that everybody around the building is like, '(Number) 83 looks unbelievable right now.'"

Wonder what are ranking was for the games after Kiesan replaced Amari. Probably close to top 10.

This is excellent news, but I still think that Reed is WR#3 for most of the season. Reed has speed. You don't see much difference in the 40 speed between Reed and Toure but there is a big difference in the 10 and 20 yard times when it matters most.

Toure makes the WR room deep. This is important as both Watson and Doubs got hurt last season and it is likely that 1 of them will miss at least a couple of games this season too.

De'Vondre Campbell had a down season in 2022, and many speculated he was playing through some unreported injuries. Turn out, he did.

#6? That's pretty good. A line like this should help Love develop into a good starting QB. What is surprising is the Bills' OL ranking.

we would castigate Rodgers for making a throw like that, which both you and I could have picked off, saying that I love what Campbell brings to our defense, and agree many of us thought he played injured most of the season

Correctly. I would castigate Love for attempting that throw too.

imagine that, the #6 OL ranking for the worst team in the league scoring from the red zone, It smells like the Walleye I use to catch on wisky river in Okee back in the 70's polluted by all the paper mills, the rotty fishy smelly aroma brings back fond memories, but of prior GB Packers O lines that actually deserved these kind of rankings.
just my opinion :nono:

Late from pressure and left it inside. That is a recipe for disaster. Nothing wrong with the decision to throw that ball if it would have been on time and better ball placement. A QB with a stronger arm would convert that for a first 9/10 times.
