Just pointing out that waiting around taking every second off the clock doesn't wear out the defence, it just shortens the game. Yes it keeps Wentz out of the game but it keeps Rodgers out of the game as well , it takes everyone out the game its just dead time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if we play our soft, crappy zone and they have two good tight ends on the field. Easiest looks as a QB followed up with easy throws. Now, if we play a pressure set? Challenge those receivers and TE's? Yah, then I want him on the field. Turnover waiting to happen. We just don't play that way, though.

packfanfb Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) Mike Pettine's kryptonite. Howard hasn't been relevant in 2 years, except last September in Green Bay when we made him look like Derrick Henry.

Yeah, all they tackle is a large green donut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexGreen#20 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Guys, it's almost 2021. Move on from a lack of tackling in practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if he's the worst player case in the league or not, but he's been hit pretty hard by this thing. Yet another example of the very unpredictable nature of this virus. IIRC Manny Sanders in New Orleans got hit pretty hard with it. I remember reading something with quotes from him that it was rough. Quick search says he missed two games.

I hope the grounds crew is pep talking the pylons right now. *Turns out, that was Cunningham that fumbled into the end zone after that John Fox challenge. It was Howard in my ironclad memory bank.

packfanfb Posted December 5, 2020 Author Share Posted December 5, 2020 Dafney is interesting. Could grow into that H-back role we lost when Deguara/Lovett went down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refugee Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Dominique Dion Dafney gets the call up at TE/FB. 6'2 246. Another beefed up receiver and will mostly see specials. Maybe he likes to get dirty and lead block? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathstar Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 On 12/4/2020 at 7:52 AM, mikemike778 said: So shorten the game ... Why ? That's the sort of strategy you might go for if you are underdog. Shortening the game means fewer drives means more chance of an upset. Unless we think Philadelphia is the much stronger side that doesn't really make sense. A defense doesn't get worn out by standing around waiting for the game to start. If anything they would get worn out by faster tempo. TOP is by a country mile the most pointless stat in the NFL. Number of snaps on offence is relevant. TOP is irrelevant. Just a heads up that this opinion is not shared by the guy controlling the snap. AR said earlier in the season that defenses get more fatigued from holding their stances than offenses.
