I thought it was really telling that when Krys Barnes was in the game the first half, the Packers allowed 0 points.
When Barnes went out on the first play of the series to open the 3rd quarter, the Texans drove down all the way and a lot of that was due to Summers not reading the plays properly to make the stops.
After that horrible drive by Summeres, the Packers put in Kamal Martin and the Packers were like a whole new team. The Packers for the next quarter and a half only allowed 6 points and that includes the Texans getting the ball with some short fields, especially starting at the +20 on the blocked punt. The Packers offense also couldn't have played worse and therefore gave multiple cracks at the whip to Watson. The Packers defense couldn't have played any better in that stretch.
Then when the game was out of hand, the Packers took Martin out of the game and re-inserted Ty Summers and once again the Texans scored a TD.
Hopefully Barnes just has a stinger again and is okay. But also hopefully they get Martin more playing time this week. I think there is a lot for us to be excited with Martin and Barnes being two active and healthy ILBs for us.
Also, yesterday was Kenny Clark's best game this year. He still only played around 65% of the snaps and that is a good thing. There was a lot of Adams/Keke yesterday and they did a great job. This front 7 might be turning a corner of which I am very excited.
Kamal Martin is just so tall and fast. Noticeably faster than Barnes who has fantastic awareness.
I've been on the Martin bandwagon since the Pack picked him. Looking at his highlights from college, the guy just made big plays.
The { experts } made claims he wasn't athletic enough or fast enough clearly didn't see much of his play.
Saw him make some very athletic interceptions/ saw him run down several running backs from behind and that was from behind the line of scrimmage.
If I'm not mistaken, he was recruited as a QB, so he has an understanding of both sides of the ball.

I was happy to my boy Vernon Scott get on in there.

He did look good when I was watching him.
I think it's hard to not get excited about Scott. He has been effective and not a liability on all of his limited opportunities. He's big too. Could be a potential long term solution for us to replace Redmond and then possibly Amos for 2021 and then 2022.
Fun fact: Hall of famer "Iron Mike" Michalske wore #36 briefly
The great #36 MacArthur Lane. Lane and Brockington.

Andy Herman a lot more down on the defense then I was expecting. Lot more down on the pass rush then I was expecting. Interesting stuff and shows we have a ways to go.

Interesting that he has Preston as the 2nd worst player
