Packers Huddle

This is so tough.

Love played himself into Packers fans hearts. His overall performance was iffy, tho does that matter when he DID lead the team to a win? Gary was a beast all game and big part of enabling the comeback. Clark and him wrecked Saints left and right...

Gary only played 38% of the defensive snaps (23 total) and had 3 sacks and 4 QB hits. Teams are going to be scared sh*tless when he starts playing more.

Not if he plays the run like he did in Atlanta.

You do have a point. It's not his strong suit.

I can see the argument for and against Love. He did not play well on the whole, but he was instrumental in engineering the comeback.

I chose the only other guy with a real argument (Gary), so that makes it an easy decision for me: Love.

I think Doubs balled out pretty damn good, too.

But yeah, Gary and Love are the two choices this week.

I really hope they limit his snap count to like 60% of snaps. Especially early.

We have depth and I think there is tremendous value in keeping our front 7 fresh going into the 4th quarter

The reason I am leaning Love is because of his 4th down TD run. Up to the point, the Packers showed potential but just couldn't knock it in.

We needed someone to make a play.

On 4th down, the play broke down and it was Love vs Davis and Davis was in position to make the play.

That TD was a thing grit and beauty. Truly putting the offense on his back. And then Love follows it up by not doing the Leap but instead getting his offense ready for a 2 point conversion and converts it on a broken play.

Those two plays were Love's moments.

I feel like the TD catch and the sideline catch win it for Doubs.

Love had one of his worst performances as a pro.

The D allowed the comeback.

I'm all about the grittiness, but it's Doubs' performance for me that deserves the call-out today.

To reiterate. Romeo, oh Romeo





And of course

Gary. He certainly set the tone. The defence played well all game. You hold any team to 10 pts and you played great defense.

Someone on the Packers sure knew what they were doing when they gave Doubs the venerable #87. Talk about foresight!

sure we can blame Gary for lack of contain, but in zone coverage the boundary CB's are tasked with paying attention to the run and lending containment support, where where Alexander and Douglas? thats part of the reason for using zone coverage.

obviously that was addressed, Douglas imo looked more involved yesterday, but I still see plenty of REACH tackling, but not Douglas, he had a beautiful shoestring diving with the hands tackle on a play I remember, just saying often we blame the DE for lack of containment, when actually it's more then just them.

Going Rashan Gary.

Doubs

after considerable thought I have to go with my first opinion, while Love looked terrible at times, his 4th Q comeback of doing just about everything right wins it for him this week, 1st home win for him clinches it, plenty of honorable mentions, but Jordan gets the prize.

plus the mistakes we are seeing are so fixable with more playing time, pressure is the kryptonite of most young passers, so far Jordan has been holding up to it pretty well.

the in the grasp sack call was borderline, what impressed me is that he had the were with all to attempt to get rid of it at least and another Judge may have allowed it, very close call, A for effort Jordan
