2015 Packers' OTAs, Minicamps

Not that I'm advocating this for a full time offense, but they could run a couple of variations of the pistol with this group of players.  Rodgers in the short shotgun, Lacy behind him, and Cobb and Montgomery to the left and right of Rodgers.  Then Jordy and Adams split wide.  LOTS of run/pass options with that look.

 

Then if they want to bring in Hundley in the same setup in place of Rodgers, you have a true zone read threat for 2 point tries.

Just saying. Any offense that involves pulling no. 12 off the field is flawed.

I agree you want hi in there nearly all of the time...but a run/pass option for 2 without risking Rodgers to injury isn't a bad option.  Just a wrinkle.  People before have talked about Cobb as a Wildcat QB but here we might have an actual QB who can run...

It is far far better to have innovated, and lost...than to have never innovated at all.

 

The game keeps changing.

 

Turning dull automatic extra points into hybrid specialization plays that can score (2) may or may not be a good thing.

 

But the best offense in football best be at the forefront of any new trends so they stay the best offense in football...including 2 pt.offense...if that's what we need to do.

 

I suspect that is exactly why Hundley was spit out of TT's value matrix in the 5th, and TT made a point of "gettin er done"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blocking. Tackling. Executing. 

 

All trends eventually give way to the these.  

I said that post in a Bret Favre voice

Try saying it in Morgan Freeman's voice.

 

Not Shawshank Morgan Freeman. The Penguin movie Morgan Freeman. Big difference. 

that is how I read this whole forum, except for the Brewer forum, which I read in a Harry Caray voice

EKB, many voices in his head.

Posted that using Roger Waters' voice.

 

When I read fedya's post's all I hear is Carol Channing.

 

his bestie keil?  Paul Lynde

I hear ruth buzzy.

I find a lot of posts here are better with Charlie Chaplin's voice. 

 

 

This may be the greatest post ever.  I now look forward to every post from Fedya.

 

 

 

The absolute worst to!e to remove your best offensive threat from the field is when you have a high probability of scoring.  AKA, 2 point conversation or in the red zone.

I'm inclined to agree, except that, IIRC, the Packers don't seem to have fared particularly well in 2-point conversions in the last few years.

They were 1 for 3 last season.

Sure, but it's a stretch to suggest that removing one of the best QB's to ever play the game would lead to netter ratio.

 

I think we have a red zone play calling problem, not a QB problem.

Ever since Finley can't play...We have a red zone THREAT problem....not a play calling problem.

I'm hopeful Dick Rodgers or Lacy can solve that issue

If they can't make even the simple short yardage/goalline plays work, why on earth do you think more complicated plays will be successful? GB needs to improve on the fundamentals in short yardage...winning the LOS by the OL, maintaining blocks by the WRs, TEs and FB, and the RBs finishing runs. We don't need more gadget plays or wildcat QBs or "creative" play calling, we need guys to win at the POA in short yardage.

What the Toxic Avenger said.  Although with the reassignment of play calling, Rodgers responsibility on the field surely comes into consideration.  In general, oline needs to win more battles consistently.

Not just him.

@ByRyanWood: #Packers G Josh Sitton: "I think as an entire offense, we need to get better in the red zone. Situational football is where you win games."

Gravedigger's voice?

 

Or this guy?

 

Because it was a family oriented show, the producers of the Love Boat never touched on the amount of tail a smooth talking brother would have been tapping as a bartender on a cruise ship in the 70's. Could have called that show the Stank Boat. 

More tail? Isaac, Tiger, or Wilt?

 

 

 

Issac was a bartender on a cruise ship. In the 1970's!!! His cabin probably smelled like a mixture of reefer, coke, clams, and accomplishment. 

 

Can't just dismiss Wilt but I'm going with Issac. 

Okay, you can stop beating me over the head.  I get it.  It was a simple, but obviously stupid, suggestion. 

Maynard - I don't think its a stupid suggestion. It truly has some merit in my opinion

Innovation has always a part of MM's attack - from the Big Five to the Inverted Wishbone to motioning Cobb into the backfield. 

 

The upside is that opponents have to spend valuable time preparing for it

Another upside is that with limited practice time, Rodgers can't dedicate as much time to it as a guy like Hundley could. The Steelers used Randall El to beat GB for a 2 point conversion in the Super Bowl. On a limited basis and in certain situations, I think its a winner.

 

Its a change of pace, it causes confusion & hesitation by the defense and it keeps the franchise upright and safe.

 

So now when the Packers roll it out, you can sit there and smile, knowing that you were insightful enough to consider new ideas. Kudos

 

Too Tall Jones...I believe Hollywood. 

Tiny Tim?

Yeah, stupid. Like when some guy here suggested moving Clay Matthews to ILB. Guy got roasted by the superior football minds(other than Dom Capers). 

I'm of the belief Mike moved CMIII, not Dom.  Prior to the boot, Dom thought Hawk's coaching on the field was indispensable.  

 

Point is correct though, many of us thought moving him to MLB was crazy.  

 

I want more Peppers in the Red Zone.  Man is a huge target.  

IIRC, That's bull****. There was a lot of back and forth about it but nothing I would call getting roasted.

Wilt?  I'll go with Milt.  As in Uncle Milty.  That dude was known as the king of schwing.  Apparently legendary in the industry.

        Carol Channing has some advice for EKB:



Of course, in the movie she winds up with Clint Eastwood.  There's a Hollywood couple for you.
