craig Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Z and the Bakhti and the other injuries have gotten lots of attention. How likely do you think it is that Mercilus plays at all? And if he's kinda healthy, what would he be used for? I don't even know back during his couple of games. Was he being used as defensive lineman, and basically playing snaps that Lowry or Keke or Lancaster would otherwise play? Or was he formally playing OLB, and filling in some snaps that otherwise Tipa or Garvin would have filled? *IF* he was to play, would his function be more as a set-the-edge run defender, to help our sometimes inconsistent run defense?

Probably not .. everyone defers. Defer. Get a 1-2-3 stop. Drive and score. Ideal perfect scenario in every way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick someone call Dan Campbell, he has a strategy for knee caps… maybe he has one for ankles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From LaFleur's press conference today ... just said that Mercilus will play. Z and Jaire are expected to play depending on how they feel after practice this week. Bahktiari is off today, but should go tomorrow and has a chance to play. That one still seems a little up in the air, but you'd have to think he goes if at all possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even went into the iOL giving the official space to get to the LOS. Incredible preparation and attention to detail. McCarthy and Dak in attendance for this?

{Family Ghost} Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Packers need to roll with Bakhtiari this week ... let him go for as long as he can. It's possible he won't make it thru the whole game, but I think you have to go with your best in the playoffs. LaFleur still sounds hesitant on his availability.

NFLGURU Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Some concerns going into Saturday: The Niners running game. Its their bread and butter. With the cold weather expect them to grind it out, with reverses and misdirection sprinkled in. Jaire Alexander- Is he ready or rusty? the Niners might target him and that shoulder in the running game. Will he be able to handle Deebo on the sweeps and end around. Can he handle Deebo on the bubble screens where they target his shoulder. Im not too worried about his pass defense, its the short pass and contact. Will he hold up? Eric Stokes - He's a rookie, GREAT job this year, but its the playoffs. He'll be fine if he plays like he has. Needs better ball skills though.

Green19 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Serious question… all I hear is how bad of a match up 49ers are for GB, yet they have the largest spread betting wise of all the games this coming weekend. Is every other favorite in worse shape than GB, because all the talking heads are treating it like GB are dead men walking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighCalebR Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 How do you mistake Dabo for Deebo. Deeeeeeeeebo. Crazy iconic name. Deebo. Like steal your chain. Not like the coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays, I think you'll have to drag him off the field. If the Packers get a decent lead late, you may just have to drag him off for his own sake.
