Norse65 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) I’ll have patience with Rodgers as a receiver but he has exhausted my patience as a returner. He’s not ever going to be good at it. He fights with the ball. Just give me someone who catches it securely every time. Returns are a bonus.

The Packers should be on the look out some someone that can do that job well .. especially with Cobb banged up. Ervin time again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit of a joke, but yes we looked just fine on the recovery this week. I'll still be sweating bullets if a game comes down to anything special teams related. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll still be sweating bullets if a game comes down to anything special teams related. One of the reason we looked good there is because we had starting talent on the field. I wonder if we will see some more vets out there as we get closer to the playoffs. I know we don't need any more injuries, but using bottom of the roster talent on special teams leads to the basement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBobGray Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Deguara's fine, guy hasn't even played a full season's worth of games yet and was a back-up until week 9. Rodgers went to him for the TD when he could have scrambled against Minny and again on 4th down this week. Trust is growing and he's flashing some ability to separate, that scramble drill TD he left the coverage behind to get to the open spot. Amari is what he is: he was never a plus athlete, you're drafting him for the game sense. Not a shocker that it would take him time to adjust to a QB who's notoriously detail oriented and an NFL game that's moving much faster than the college game. His biggest issue right now is going down too easily to minor contact; he needs to put some muscle mass on over the off-season and keep working on his balance through contact. Basically he needs to live in AJ Dillon's basement and just do whatever he does until July. Saying he's in danger of being cut is a laugh though, thanks for that because I needed one today. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'll ever be an effective TE/middle of the field target though. Based on some of the personnel they used (2 backs with WR/TE playing FB/H-back/RB) seems like MLF is trying to minimize his snaps. The fact he only played 43% of the snaps this week and 46% last week while Tonyan was playing 75%+ while healthy is not surprising. Right now our only effective middle of the field targets are Adams and Cobb, and occasionally a check-down route to the back/TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no reason EQ couldnt run routes there. He's 6'5 - runs fast and has both hands. Give him a shot. I'd be in favor of MVS crossing over the middle more - as he did against MN.

Still time for him too though. Well, he got the 4'th down catch. That's something. And...I thought I saw him pretty open a few times and didn't get the ball. Really, I don't worry about DeGuara out there at all. I think he's doing what he is supposed to be doing and sooner or later, Rodgers will find him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deguara often lined up as a WR in college and was their leading receiver his Sr. season at Cincinnati, he caught 92 balls there. He has the ability to be an effective pass catcher anywhere on the field, his ceiling is every bit of that of Tonyan's. Packer fans want every young player to be instant stars or throw them out with the bath water, but young skill players working with Rodgers that is not the way it works. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexGreen#20 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 My great fear here is that LaFleur found the perfect mix of the McCarthy and Shanahan offenses last year, and we're now going too far down the line towards Shanahan with guys like Deguara and AR8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
