And not only is it a roster spot that these players not named Savage and Amos will be competing for but playing time as well. Enter second-year safety Vernon Scott, who, in a recent article, I named as a possible under-the-radar breakout candidate this season. Scott was on the field for 90 defensive snaps in […]
When looking back on Mike Pettine’s tenure as defensive coordinator of the Green Bay Packers, I imagine that many are going to remember the 3-man rushes, the soft coverages, and the miscues more than anything. However, the issue — at least from our vantage point — appeared to be consistency — or lack thereof — […]
Whether it be due to performance, possible cap savings, or a combination of the two, every year, NFL teams move on from players who were on the roster just one year earlier. After an offseason where GM Brian Gutekunst prioritized re-signings over new additions, this is a roster that is quite similar to what it […]
We’ve heard a lot about him, we know that he is loaded with potential, but we have yet to really see him in action or even know where he’s at in his development. Even with all of the injuries that the offensive line sustained and the games of musical chairs that followed, Nijman saw just […]
He took over the Packers two years ago and has been a few plays away from advancing to at least one Super Bowl. PFF ranked LaFleur as the third-best head coach in the league behind Kansas City’s Andy Reid and Baltimore’s John Harbaugh. Yes, LaFleur has proved his worth as the Green Bay Packers head […]
Until we see concrete evidence that Aaron Rodgers won’t be a part of the Green Bay Packers in 2021, I’m going to operate under the assumption that he will be. I could absolutely see a world where the Green Bay Packers keep just three running backs, but they kept four on the roster in 2020, […]
MOBILE, AL – JANUARY 30: Safety Christian Uphoff #29 from Illinois State of the National Team during the 2021 Resse’s Senior Bowl at Hancock Whitney Stadium on the campus of the University of South Alabama on January 30, 2021 in Mobile, Alabama. As much as fans like us love them for their stories, the Green […]
However, that doesn’t mean that whatever takes place is meaningless either; we just need to remember to take it with a grain of salt. As noted by Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, during a two-minute, quarterback Kurt Benkert connected with Winfree for a 50-yard touchdown. He saw 10 offensive snaps with the Broncos in 2019 […]
Sep 19, 2020; Huntington, West Virginia, USA; Appalachian State Mountaineers defensive back Shemar Jean-Charles celebrates a broken up pass during the third quarter against the Marshall Thundering Herd at Joan C. Unlike last year, the Green Bay Packers are expecting an immediate impact from a number of their nine-man 2021 Draft class. That’s exactly what […]
Not only did the Green Bay Packers need to try and upgrade the cornerback position for the 2021 season, but they needed to add to this room as well for future years, given the number of unknowns surrounding this unit. As the draft approached, Stokes seemed to fly a bit under the radar, but he […]
Up until these last five days with the Aaron Rodgers news and the NFL Draft, it’s been a very quiet offseason for the Green Bay Packers. At the moment, Over the Cap projects that the Packers have about $2.61 million in available cap space–and of course, there are other expenses unaccounted for, such as the […]
During his pre-draft press conference with reporters, GM Brian Gutekunst mentioned that this would be the case and is why the Green Bay Packers roster already had so many players on it. Dietzen was the Badgers’ starting guard during the 2016 and 2017 seasons, allowing two sacks and 16 pressures. Capra has taken 204 snaps […]
