Arthur Penske Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Love reading Wilkerson making some plays. Hopefully it translates to Sunday’s. https://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2018/07/31/packers-muhammad-wilkerson-versatility/872507002/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was standing right in front of me Saturday. They list Perry at 265 and he's about the same size. I didn't get to see DL/OL 1v1's just DB/WR. He was a monster for ATL last preseason though, definitely has some juice. Here's number 98 in action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 If the Green Bay Packers didn’t think they had something with rookie linebacker Chris Odom, they wouldn’t have kept him on the roster for 16 games last season with a total of 59 snaps played. What they saw in practice Tuesday had to validate their decision some. “Now that I’ve been an outside linebacker, I know how to do both,” he said. “So I know how to be a hand-down true defensive end in certain situations or I can stand up and be an outside linebacker. “It helps to be a universal player. The more knowledge you have, the more you’re worth.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Packers have several guys in their 2nd season with the team that could provide a huge boost this year .. Kevin King, and Montravious Adams come to mind rather quickly. Who knows, maybe Odom can make some impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're pretty thin at that point regardless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 If we don't add another ILB, I hope the plan is to play a lot more 4-3. Slide Perry/Gilbert/Odom to the end position opposite Wilkerson and have Matthews/Fackrell/Biegel at the SAM alongside Martinez and Burks/Jones. Seems like a much better defense schematically versus a 3-4 that has Burks and Martinez as your starting ILB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ryan would have only been on the field for 40 to 50% of the defensive snaps to begin with. With that being said, we need someone else like Fackrell to play on the strong side. Matthews will probably take some of those snaps, but I'd love to see a vet fill that need much like Dial at the 5T and Brooks at OLB last season. They played their roles well even though they didn't play all that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighCalebR Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Going with the 3-3 personally. Bring those safeties down for bangin. Keep Martinez/Burks covered up by the big boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initially, probably Burks until he's comfortable then honestly probably Martinez. As good as Martinez played last year, pass coverage was his weakest area. I don't necessarily view him as an every down ILB. Question is, when he's out, who's getting the D set, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've entirely punted on maintaining any kind of perspective on this issue. Also Wilkerson as a full time edge rusher is just ugly as hell.

In the nickel, you might slide him inside to rush with Daniels, Perry and maybe Adams (if he's for real) off the ends. Ideally, you'd move Wilkerson around to match him up. I'm sure Pettine will mix in some 2-4 and 3-3 as well in the nickel. Punting on perspective? I just made a statement that Martinez (right now) is not top-notch coverage backer. I mean, we just drafted Burks presumably because we realized we need to improve in that area with our ILBs. Burks wasn't drafted to fill holes and stop the run. Maybe Martinez improved that part of this game, but he's never been an elite athlete. I think there are plenty of situations, assuming Burks can handle it (or Jones), where you take Martinez off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
