packfanfb Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Two easiest steps the Packers can take to fix the ST as best as possible (given that they aren't going to file Drayton no matter what he does at this point): 1. Sign a veteran return man who preferably can return both punts and KOs. Not sure who is out there, whether it's Ervin or someone else, but we can only go up. 2. Literally consider adding another K to the active roster who can simply boom the ball out or deep into the endzone on KOs. Crosby is going to have fewer and fewer touchbacks as the year goes on and the weather gets worse. I would seriously give thought to bringing in someone to use on KOs in order to minimize return opportunities. These two moves would at least help us in 3 out of the 4 phases involving punts/KOs. Punt coverage can also be more controlled by Bojo himself in not out-punting the coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLcheesehead12 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Assuming Lamar Jackson isn't playing, I think offense and defense cover up the special teams **** ups in this one. But it'll be much closer than the game vs the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebpackfan Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 "The plans are right now, in my mind, for Lamar to be out there," Harbaugh said. "We'll see where it goes this week. If he can go, he'll go. If not, Tyler will be the quarterback." He could just be trying to trick us into preparing for Jackson, or could just be delusional. We'll see.

PossibleCabbage Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Even with Jackson playing, the Ravens offense hasn't looked spectacular of late. I imagine the defense can hold the Ravens offense to 20ish, and we'll give up like 8 special teams touchdowns so can the offense score in the 70s?

craig Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 MLF made reference to increasing his use of veterans on ST. Rasul played ST, MLF credited him as the guy who deked the Chicago guy into stepping out of bounds and nullifying the Amari fumble. He seemed to recognize that perhaps a guy like Lazard is now healthy enough to get back onto ST? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugger Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I'm gonna guess that Lamar is going to play. Just a gut feeling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAM Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Lamar, no Lamar the 10-3 Packers are a better football team than the 8-5 Ravens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the final scores would be 14-20 points different in Packers favor if the special teams were anything close to "normal". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartacus Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 It really doesn't matter who plays for the Ravens. They are going to be running the same offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHARMON9 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Can we get Amos/ Campbell to take away Mark Andrews? I really don't see their Defense stopping us at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I saw when I watched Huntley. Of course he can’t move like a healthy LJ, no one can, but he’s got wheels. I also saw him make some decent throws. This would be the 4th game he’s played so he has some experience and we’ve got some tape. A hobbled Lamar could be easier depending on how severe his ankle injury.

craig Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Tough game, Baltimore has been pretty good at times. Road games are always tougher for the Packers, I think. And I kinda feel like Rodgers kinda likes to play against familiar teams and players. Man it would be nice to pull out a win. Maybe even a decisive one would be fun. Seems like after getting stomped by the Saints, it's been kinda uphill all season in terms of seed, and then as soon as we got to the top after beating AZ, we immediately had the Love/KC loss and lost that top position. Would be super awesome to win this one and hold top-seed for more than a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
