He hit DeAndre Thompkins for 31-yards pass over Ka’dar Hollman to spark the drive, but overthrew Malik Turner out back off end zone on fourth and goal. Love was 3-7 for 57 yards on the drive. Malik Taylor. He, by the way, in my opinion still is the guy to beat for the #6 WR position due to his special teams play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been pretty good in camp. Interested to watch him in the preseason games. My UDFA sleeper was Uphoff. Apparently he's been having a good camp aswell.

He was so awful returning kicks that teams intentionally pooch kicked after scoring. All on his own he flipped field position against his own team. Had he been cast in Bull Durham, he would have defined "lolligagger". I can't say that he was good, bad, or indifferent on coverage specials. Can say he was downright putrid returning kickoffs.

Leader Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) Aaron Nagler - He (Jordan Love) is just wildly inconsistent right now. When he plays in rhythm, he looks great. When things break down, which happens a lot in the NFL, he gets way too sloppy. But he’s progressing.

I don't think they'll keep him for his returns, although I believe Darrius Shepherd was the guy that had teams pooch kicking. Taylor did play quite a bit on coverage units.

craig Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Taylor was drawing the pooch kicks, too. Had a hard time getting it past the 20. Had no wiggle, and not fast enough to outrun anybody to get around a corner. I think he was used on all ST, though. While he was totally NOT a play-maker as a kick-returner, I assume the blocking in front of him on returns was pretty vulnerable. Seemed like if he just caught it on the 3 and ran straight, he'd be getting swarmed before he got to the 20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 Taylor does have some use on coverage teams, but he's just such a generic JAG. There are 200 Malik Taylor's out there. Unless he's Jeff Janis in covering punts/kicks (which he is not), I just don't see him making the 53 especially after that room has added Funchess, Cobb and Rodgers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why 1 more year of 12 after this season could be ideal. May not be likely, but We'll see how it shakes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not ruling out the Packers figuring out a way to hold on to Rodgers for another season if they need to. Hopefully Love will feel more free to just cut it loose in the preseason games. I get the idea that the footwork and making adjustments is getting the best of his right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 No one really knows about Love, just have to watch it play out. I expect some good and bad early on, but I'm hoping for some improvement each week out of the three. For perspective, here's 12 in 2005: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5U23QDOcBXI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
