Top 5 defense v. Jax

1. LB Eric Wilson: 81.1
2. LB Edgerrin Cooper: 74.3

Wilson delivered five tackles, six assisted tackles and two stops while not giving up a single catch in coverage over 57 total snaps. Cooper missed two tackles but also delivered a game-changing strip-sack, three total stops and a pass breakup.

Coop is a difference maker.

I was surprised to see he got fewer snaps than both Wilson and McDuffie, but Wilson has been on a heater the past couple of weeks as well.

It also hints at "needs to work harder" to turn flashes into consistencies.

Coaches want to see your level of engagement

Although....some guys are just "gamers" they don't practice as well as they play on the field. It's on the coach to recognize that but the player has to earn it.

The most notorious "gamer"??

Charles effing Woodson

I told you guys, that play to cover Kirk and knock the ball away as he was catching it. We haven't seen anything even close to that since Desmond Bishop.

Fred Warner, Bobby Wagner maybe Roquan. Those are the guys I can also see making a play like that. Very few LBers

"The Packers need to get healthy at some critical spots, but I don't foresee massive changes coming out of the bye. As far as inside linebacker, it's a lot to ask a rookie to play the "Mike." Krys Barnes did it in 2020, but it's a massive undertaking. Personally, I like the way the Packers are using Cooper in Year 1. This utilization allows the rookie second-round pick to play fast and free without being saddled with having to communicate the defense. It makes him harder to keep tabs on for the offense, too."
