Packers Need Defense

Blogged under General by skotak on Monday 18 September 2006 at 7:44 pm

The packers are a great offensive team, even though they were shut out against the bears.  I felt that in that game some of the early play calling was bad.  Brett Favre is a hall of fame quarterback and he needs to make more pass attempts than he did in that 1st half.  They don’t have a strong running game, Ahaman Green is a great player but you got to recognize who the defense is.  Bears stop the runs by loading the defensive line, so passing against them more will create the running game.  I felt that Packers should have passed a lot more on some of the 1st half series on 1st and 2nd downs. 

They need to get someone better on defense in the safety position and in the line backer position, and this has been the case since the last 3 years not just now.  This dates back to the 4th and 26 against Philadelphia from 2004 Season.  Oh, I get a heart attack when I hear 4th and 26 anytime.  I mean all you do is play prevent and put 4 guys arond 25 yards, 3 around 20 yards, and rush 4, for some pressure.  I know its easier said than done, but I hope that the defensive coordinators see this and try to do something about the defense.  Just take a look at how many plays they have given up of more than 15 yards in the 2 games, over 10 in each game and the opponent 3rd and 4th down conversion is at 40%, and on 1st and 2nd down 50%, so overall teams are converting 1st downs nearly 45% of the plays or about 20 in a game.   

 I hope the team sees this and just focus on two things.  Trade someone to get faster defensive players or change the style of defense, put more pressure on QBs, blitz more.  Also  for sure, pass more, and pass more on 1st and 2nd downs.  You guys can’t let Brett Favre go out like this, he needs to make playoffs and I don’t even see why not even the Super Bowl.  There is really no better offensive team in the NL Central than Green Bay, if you use Farve at his best abilities.

Packers put up a good fight, but lose 34-27

QB Brett Favre showed he still had something in the tank with a great effort in the loss to the Saints. Favre completed 31 of 55 passes (56.4%) for 340 yards with 3 TDs and 1 interception. RB Ahman Green had a rough time carrying the ball 16 times for 42 yards (2.6 ypc) and caught 6 passes for 48 yards (8.0 avg). WR Donald Driver had a great game catching 8 passes for 153 yards (19.1 avg). Rookie WR Greg Jennings caught 6 passes for 67 yards (11.2 avg) and a TD. TE David Martin caught 6 passes for 44 yards (7.3 avg). RB Noah Herron and WR Robert Ferguson each caught a TD pass.

DE Aaron Kampman was dominant against the Saints with 3 sacks and a fumble recovery. The Packers stuffed the Saints explosive running game, holding them to 48 yards and only 2.2 yards per carry. The Saints completed 63.4% of their passes for 332 net yards passing.

Quarterback Job

It is time for the changing of the guard. Farve must retire. I can’t believe that the front office and coaching staff can continue to let him embarass himself.

Packers vs. Saints

Blogged under Front Page, This Week's Matchup Report by ravenhater on Thursday 14 September 2006 at 11:26 pm

If the Saints want to really pound someone, you would think it would be a Packer team that laid a 52-3 beating on them last season.  The Saints look much improved this season.  Look for the Saints to attack the Packers defense with their two-headed running back that rolled up 150 yards rushing on the Browns last week.  The Packers linebackers will have their hands full with Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush.  After the Saints establish their running game, QB Drew Brees will attack with his short play-action passing attack.  Brees is a smart game manager at QB that doesn’t take too many chances or make many mistakes.

Even though the Saints defense looks improved, I have a feeling that the Packers will move the ball well against them.  Ahman Green should have a good game running against a Saints defense that lacks speed all over the field.  WR Donald Driver will be able to get downfield as long as the line gives Brett Favre time to find him.  If Favre has time, the Packers will put up points and critics will get off of his back for at least a week.

The Saints aren’t as good as they looked in week #1, and the Packers aren’t as bad as they looked either.  This should be a good football game.
