Zadarius Smith should be rushing from the 3 Tech on every 2nd down longer than 7 yards and every 3rd down longer than 3 yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And...despite me saying that, he was a one trick pony back then. Pure edge speed rush. And that isn't a bad trick to have if he's your last EDGE player. I hope he's got his head on right, because it would be great to see that kind of quickness off of the line.

He's one of the older guys on the roster. He's 26, turns 27 mid-season. On the 90-man roster, the Packers only have 15 guys who are 27 or older. So Williams is definitely within the oldest quartile of Packers. *IF* he's ever going to prove he deserves some regular package snaps in the NFL, this would probably be the year for that.

Shanedorf Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 From The Athletic and Shel Kapedia Za’Darius Smith was one of the best pass rushers in the NFL last year. He finished eighth among edge rushers in pass-rush win rate, but that number is especially impressive considering how often he was double teamed. Preston Smith ranked 10th in pass-rush win rate. The pair combined for 25.5 sacks and 60 quarterback hits. Kenny Clark was very good at defensive tackle. And if the Packers can get contributions from Gary, they could have one of the best pass rushes in the NFL. Because the pass rush was so good, Pettine did not have to blitz a lot. The Packers sent five or more rushers just 23.6 percent of the time, which ranked 27th in frequency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 3 very very good players in Smith, Smith and Clark up front. Reading this makes me sour on Pettine even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I know this is about LBs, but with all this talk about great edge pressures, I'd like to give a shout out to Kenny Clark's as the reason QBs can't simply step up to avoid the great edge rushers. What I thought I saw of Tim Williams, he has absolutely amazing quickness, honestly reminded me of Adams getting off the line a bit, as he was getting started with a move, but the problem has been, if an OT can get his hands on him, he's done. And while I'd like to have hope for Williams, I don't exactly have high opinions of our OTs last year out side Bak, Bulaga and Veldeer. So did Williams get those guys, or just flashing against the guys that shouldn't be in the field? One UDFA that I've thought has really gone unnoticed is Delontae Scott, who played 3-4 DE in college, so he's raw and not ready, but hopefully keep him on the PS, as I thought that when he got further away from the middle, he showed a ton of potential, and a 3-4 potential could be perfect for him, long and athletic.

Shanedorf Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 A couple of other young guns vying for play time and roster spots From Packers Wire https://packerswire.usatoday.com/2020/06/30/packers-have-stockpile-of-young-edge-rushers-vying-to-replace-kyler-fackrell/ The Green Bay Packers have at least six young players who will compete to replace backup edge rusher Kyler Fackrell, who departed in free agency. Tim Williams, Randy Ramsey and Greg Roberts and rookies Jonathan Garvin, Delontae Scott and Tipa Galeai should all get opportunities to win the job as the team’s fourth outside linebacker. The Packers also reportedly claimed outside linebacker Jamal Davis off of waivers from the Miami Dolphins in April, but he likely hasn’t had an opportunity to pass a physical and isn’t listed on the team’s roster. They're facing an uphill climb with a limited offseason and limited time in TC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
