Shanedorf Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Here's Pettine talking Reggie Gilbert: “All you gotta do is watch the tape. Reggie’s done a good job,” Pettine said. “And he’s done a good job at practice too. It’s not just because he’s going against backups. He’s done a good job against our ones. He’s smart, he’s tough, he’s coachable. He’s done a real nice job for us.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentrell Brice had a nice pressure up the middle. I like Pettine’s little surprises. They’re like, “What’s this flaming paper bag doing on my porch?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys should study Pettine a bit more...this is how he talks. He was chastised for his lukewarm comments when introduced as the new HC in Cleveland, but when pressed on the issue, he said he's the opposite of Rex Ryan. And that's partially because he spent so much time with the bombastic Rex. Just not his style, so expecting "glowing" commentary from him is a mistake.

Shanedorf Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Playing some pre-snap chess with Pettine via PackersNews https://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/dougherty/2018/07/29/packers-mike-pettine-less-complexity-pete-dougherty/853620002/ "The whole idea behind the Rex Ryan-Pettine scheme is to confuse quarterbacks with unfamiliar looks and send unexpected blitz combinations. That means complexity, because players can line up anywhere and everywhere, and they have to know what they’re doing in each spot. But there has to be a certain amount of complexity for Pettine to be who he is. Cornerback Tramon Williams said he learned in his one season with Pettine in Cleveland (2015) that one of the new coordinator’s strengths is his ability to manipulate pass protections in the chess game with the offense. “We show ’em what we want to show ’em,” Williams said, “then we get them to check to what we want them to check, and then we send a blitz from somewhere else, where they think it’s not coming. He knows that.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets face it - prior to Pettine, GB's defense was way too predictable. I'm really excited to see how these "chess matches" play out this season.

TheOnlyThing Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Josh Tolentino @JCTSports 2h2 hours ago More #Packers DC Mike Pettine talking up LB Ahmad Thomas: "He's an explosive athlete. That's what you need in the NFL to play defense. The movement skills and explosiveness trump the bulk size you're looking for. You look for guys who are hybrid-safety types...He's a perfect example."

The movement skills and explosiveness trump the bulk size you’re looking for in the new era linebacker. You’re looking for guys who are hybrid safety types.” Pettine called Thomas the “perfect example” of a subpackage linebacker who can help defenses combat modern NFL offenses.
