Does this screw up our comp pick or do voided years still count as a free agent in the formula?

Atlanta is a cupcake team and their crowd is a joke. I am content to sit Watson and get guys like Heath and Wicks more experience before we move onto more competitive opponents. Then again, I did put some money on Watson this season so let's not drag this out too long.

Funny thing to say about an undefeated team

If it sounds like I do not respect the Falcons, it is precisely because I do not. They are and always will be the FAILcons in my eyes until they do something for me to think otherwise. Recent history shows that betting against them is pretty sound and wise, so I shall continue to do so.

It's too early to know which teams are good or bad this year, but it's not too early to know that even in their best years and winning seasons, Falcons are still gonna FAILcon.

The Packers' new approach to rushing the passer is here, with the deepest bag of stunts you'll ever see.

I think @Pckfn23 brought a tweet about this, but here's an article with video clips. In short, the Packers are running a whole lot of stunts this year:

Briefly for those unfamiliar, stunts can take many different forms, but in general, they involve 2 pass rushers swapping their paths to the QB after the snap, with one defender ‘crashing’ into an offensive linemen, freeing up the other rusher to come ‘looping’ around the back with a clearer path to the quarterback.

Do stunts have a higher probability of working when you are working with a talented front 7 that has a good combination of speed and power?

I just fee like we have the horses for it and our coaches know it. What is the downside to stunts? I was pretty surprised to see the number of stunts we ran vs the rest of the league and wonder what the league will do to take advantage of it.

Stunts are not blitzes and do not give up coverage to pressure the QB. From the article:

These types of stunts can be ran regardless of the QB.

good point, may not matter who the QB is, what would make a diff. is our success with it against a better OL, and exposing it so teams figure out our tells, I think it losses it's effectiveness when teams know it's coming.

again I like it, just don't think we'll do it as much as we did against the Bears, the combination of a aintsy scrambling QB and a weak OL combination was perfect for stunting pass rushers.

I think we signed another OLineman (from Carolina?) to the PS and released our TE from the PS.

On Tuesday, the Green Bay Packers announced that they signed offensive lineman Michael Jordan to the practice squad. Previously, the team only had one offensive lineman (Kadeem Telfort) on their 17-man practice squad. The corresponding roster move to allow for Jordan’s signing was the release of Austin Allen.

Myers is a hybrid center/guard who was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the fourth round of the 2019 draft. At Ohio State, Jordan was actually the starting center before Josh Myers — the Packers’ current starting center. After two years with the Bengals, he was waived at cutdowns in 2021 and was picked up by the Carolina Panthers — whom he played for in the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Recently, he was waived by the Panthers at cutdowns.

Over his NFL career, Jordan has played in 55 games and started 29 of them. While he only played 53 snaps last regular season, he has previously started in 29 of 38 games over the first three years of his NFL career — recording 2,080 offensive snaps over that timespan.
