Injury situation is the same as yesterday.
Both Holton Hill and Mike Hughes DNPs again today for MN.
Both Aaron Jones and Kevin King DNPs again today for GB.
I can't imagine Kevin going until JAX at the earliest. Aaron Jones is getting a little concerning. Definitely not likely to play Sunday.

I have a feeling Zimmer will do everything in his power to not let Adams beat him. Adams has basically had 3 full games this year and 2 of them were the 13 catches and 190 yards kind.
EQ is now in his third game. He has his sea legs under him and I don't expect Lazard to go yet. This is the opportunity game for EQ to get things rolling with Rodgers. Their secondary is banged up. Their pass rush is non-existent. Get Q on the field and let's start getting that chemistry going.

I think he will try blitzing like crazy at least to start. They are going to have to take chances to make some stops. They'll need some 3 and outs and turnovers to win a shoot out. Should be able to hurt them with some free plays but when they take chances we should be able to break some big plays. Hang on to the ball and get 7's instead of 3's and we should win this pretty easy.

Given the likely won’t again play single high to stop the run after last game, and their slew of injuries. I would really like to see them find way to get ball to AJ Dillon in space and make that random squad of beat up, inexperienced corners meet up with AJ Dillon with a full head of steam in that blistery Wisconsin weather.
Supposed to be high in the mid 30’s and windy.
Also random note, Sunday ends daylight savings time, so enjoy your extra hour of sleep, this game will ‘feel’ like a 1pm CST game.
I hope to see more of, and more from, AJ. I was a bit underwhelmed with him last week. Seemed to be strictly a north and south kind of runner, no wiggle.

With him you want him to be a north south type of runner. He needs to drop about 10 pounds to add some burst and fix his pad level when running. There’s no point in being a big back if you’re gonna run so upright. Get lower and gain some more power and leverage when he makes contact.

If you were the Vikings this week, with no Aaron Jones playing and knowing the Packers other weapons, would you sell out and triple Davante Adams? I mean, they won't, but wouldn't you just do anything you can to stop him from torching you?

If I was them I would stack the box and send 5 and 6 man pressure and double davante. Force whoever the other receivers are to beat you fast. If the pressure doesn’t get there at least you tried to help your secondary. But you you just sit back and play coverage with that defensive line coming after us they’re gonna get carved up.

I would do the same thing. Make MVS, EQSB and Tonyan beat them.

So like. Let's not let Kirksey being back hinder Barnes and Martin playing time.
Agree. Barnes is the best ILB we have had since Bishop

PFF hates Barnes with a grade currently of 47 and that’s with him being graded in the high 70s his first real week of playtime.
I do think Barnes is pretty decent but there’s a little bit of CM3 syndrome where we’ve seen such bad play at the position that even average play looks god like.

That's really interesting. They must have really hated his play after the bye week.
I would have never have guessed that.
How has PFF graded Patrick Queen so far?
