I always thought Z looked fast on film, does he look slow off the ball in camp?

It’s not slow off the ball, it’s slow in space and closing. Inside his speed off the ball will he highlighted and his lack of mid/long speed will be nullified. He’s the perfect interior rusher next to Clark.

From PackersNews

The Packers players who were on the team in 2018 recall the film they studied of San Francisco and the Los Angeles Rams from a year ago and are seeing the foundational pieces of those schemes being laid before them on a daily basis.

The 49ers scored 30 points and had 401 yards of offense with a third-string quarterback, and the Rams scored 29 points on 416 yards in those games.

“It’s definitely a tough thing to be able to play as a defense, to play that type of offense,” linebacker Blake Martinez said. “Obviously they’re kind of in the infant stages of it, but once they start rolling — there’s even times now when they’re hitting on all cylinders that it makes it extremely difficult for us. The main portion is inside linebackers, because you have to be able to play run-pass in a snap of an instant, because all of a sudden those windows are going to be wide open for Aaron (Rodgers).”

“You have to stay focused and know what’s going on,” Packers linebacker Preston Smith said. “You can’t be out there and not know what kind of personnel group you’re going against and what kind of personnel group we’re in also. You have to get lined up and diagnose your keys and your reads, diagnose the offense and see what formation they’re in and what the play call is, and make sure you execute your assignment.”

This whole offseason we talk about needing Edge. We get Edge, can only talk about moving Edge inside. FML.

OR his offense uses them more often

OR we have some guys beat up. Adding two RB in two days just smells like there's a bit more to it than "we use them alot."

MLF does NOT like our RBs as much as we do.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the higher volume of touches they'll be getting and maybe the durability of Aaron Jones. I wouldn't mind seeing Grant get some looks at KR/PR, he's got good hands and blazing speed, dude ran a 4.25 at his pro day.

Yeah, the position group was short a body or two relative to normal camp, and relative to almost every other NFL camp.  Then Williams getting injured made it worse.  So needed one anyway for camp distribution purpose, and then needed another minus Williams.

Just realised that Kizer is a year younger than Tribusky, Goff and Mayfield. He's also younger than Mahomes and Watson. Even in the picture he's a couple of months younger than Rookie  Manny Wilkins.

Maybe it's worth being patient with him for a little bit longer?
