Or Shepard, who i thought played well in the PS and if he can return or fair catch just as good as Davis I think the greater value is with Shep as he is a better slot then Davis is a WR or slot.

Good point. He gets lost in the shuffle there on the back end of the roster.

Justis Mosqueda: Current Green Bay receiver snaps through two weeks:

Davante Adams: 133
Marquez Valdes-Scantling: 107
Geronimo Allison: 66
Jake Kumerow: 7
It's time to #FreeKumerow

  • Peter Bukowski:  MVS clearly WR2. He has to step up.

Of course Justis thinks Kumerow is good...

Honestly I'm hoping Shepherd gets legit snaps at WR. He might be the 2nd best route runner on the squad. MVS is the guy we want to emerge as our No. 2 but he's still more athlete than refined route runner at this point in his development. We literally need that 5-15 yard guy who can get open, especially on 3rd down. I was hoping that would be Allison but he's been largely MIA through 2 weeks and glued to defenders. Maybe Shepherd's pure route running skills give him an opportunity there.

SI Packer Maven:

In some metrics, the Packers are running neck-and-neck with the pitiful Dolphins

Through two games, the Green Bay Packers’ offense has been mostly putrid.

Points per game: 15.5 (tied, 26th).

Yards per game: 274 (29th).

Yards per play: 4.35 (30th).

Rushing yards per play: 3.47 (27th).

Passing yards per play: 5.58 (28th).

Sacks percentage: 10.9 (26th).

Third-down percentage: 25.9 (27th).

Red-zone touchdown percentage: 80.0 (sixth).

Yards per drive: 21.08 (31st).

Points per drive: 1.19 (29th).

Plays per drive: 4.81 (30th).

Turnovers per drive: 0.77 (11th).

That’s a lot of bad football. In terms of yards per play, the Packers (4.35) are better than only the Jets (3.88), who are on their third quarterback, and the rebuilding Dolphins (3.56), who might be the worst team in NFL history. In terms of yards per drive, the Packers (21.08) are better than only the Dolphins (16.70). In terms of points per drive, the Packers (1.19) are ahead of only the Bears (0.86), Jets (0.48) and Dolphins (0.43).

Granted, the Packers started the season against the Bears, who led the NFL in scoring defense last season, and Vikings, who led the NFL in scoring defense in 2017. And, of course, it’s a new offense under coach Matt LaFleur. The strength of the competition and the lack of preseason playing time have combined to play a big role in the team’s sputtering start.
