Uncle Buck Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 1 hour ago, upriser7 said: These are Dalvin's last 4 games - 27 yards (3ypc), 62 yards (3.4 ypc), 29 yards (3.2 ypc) and 26 yards (2.4 ypc). He hasn't had a good game over last 4 games... This team has been running lot of inefficient runs on early downs recently. No Dalvin might end up being a good thing if they decide to pass more on early downs. This Pass offense is so much more efficient than the run offense and it's frustrating to see the team still doing those down the middle inefficient runs on early downs If Mattison is healthy soon, it would be great to see him getting more of those carries. I guess you have to give Dalvin some though because that keeps the defense on their heels and not knowing what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehops Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 does the packers' defense still have that anti-rollout philosophy? schematically what are some things our offense can do to counter that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Maybe Jimmy Graham wants a rematch with Hunter..... If anyone was wondering if Mack has ended his season early, this clip probably confirms that he in fact did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Pass offense is so much more efficient than the run offense and it's frustrating to see the team still doing those down the middle inefficient runs on early downs Over that same span, Dalvin was also arguably getting outperformed by the other backs: Weel 11 vs Denver: Mattison - 5 yards (1.7 ypc), Abdullah - 5 yards (5 ypc) Week 13 @ Seattle: Mattison - 22 yards (5.5 ypc) Week 14 vs Detroit: Mattiosn - 44 yards (3.3 ypc) Week 15 @ Los Angeles: Boone - 56 yards ( 4.3 ypc), Abdullah - 25 yards (5 ypc) None of those are world beating numbers, but as or more efficient than Cook who has clearly been slowed down by the injury. This kind of keys into the "running backs are expendable" argument. I don't want to disregard Cook's value, but I definitely think there is a STRONG argument that he should sit over the next couple of weeks and get healthier for the playoff run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Shutting Dalvin Cook down until the (likely) playoffs might not be a bad idea. Is Mattison definitely playing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Mattison definitely playing? Could be Boone, Abdullah, and however much C.J Ham can add as a runner. I'm wondering how have our O-lineman been doing in the same span of Cook's struggles?

vike daddy Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Zimmer, on Mattison: “He’s doing better. He’s got a good chance." Zimmer, on Boone :“Yeah, we have a lot of confidence in Mike. He’s done a good job, did a good job last week.
