Timmy! posted:I'm just not ready to say this defense has 'turned the corner', but is much improved. I do remain a bit worried that some of the same tendencies remain from last year (rush defense, explosive plays, missed tackles).
CLE sucks, and that's probably an understatement. However, the Packers ran 80 OFF plays to 44 for CLE. Pretty dominant, even for a pre-season game.

Or get stuck in a vent shaft, never to be seen again.
Not impressed with #Packers Blake Martinez or Kyle Fackrell sacks vs CLE.. Can't just be excited because they got a sack, how'd they do it?!
LB Martinez ran a Fire X vs. screen... C Cam Erving popped him and then tried to leak out, leaving Martinez a free path to QB.
OLB Fackrell's sack was vs an RPO... Except Kessler decided to not hand it off, or throw the ball.. Leaving Fackrell with free shot at QB
#Packers Kenny Clark a hair late off ball.. But mannnn, the hips and the leverage. Penetration wins! @KCBoutThatLife pic.twitter.com/pF3MPYfWFS

@BenFennell_NFLHyde INT... Question: Did LB Thomas not turn & run, or is this a hybrid 2man coverage w/ safety cheating to help #3?
I see ya @KCBoutThatLife - love the hand placement and the posture! @Mike_Daniels76 you got yourself a young Jedi! pic.twitter.com/m3brdjiAIr

@BenFennell_NFLConsidering his size/frame.. I have yet to see Quentin Rollins go in soft or flake out on a tackle. This kid is tough and willing. Love it!
@BenFennell_NFL how does Joe Thomas look on tape?
@schar4 Packers LB? Inconsistent. Played more nickel ILB than we've seen. Late on reads. Smooth athlete, can scrape & go SL/SL. Good tackler
@schar4@BenFennell_NFL ST ace with Banjo then
@BenFennell_NFL@schar4 ...Will still be the dime LB. Easy job - underneath zone. Spy QBs. Occasionally mug/drop or be incorporated in the pressure scheme..
