It's Lions Week

Aaron Rodgers seemed to be moving OK after appearing on the injury report (knee) yesterday, although his vertical might not be what it used to be. https://t.co/QTP1THxXFQ pic.twitter.com/CbLpySdu3d

That's Davante Adams off to the side again. No surprise given what he said yesterday about his turf toe not healed enough yet. Also out, S Darnell Savage (ankle), CB Tony Brown (hamstring) and TE Robert Tonyan (hip) as rain... https://t.co/ieaGLPBk6h pic.twitter.com/xvPYSzQAJA

Dude is a beast. 

#Packers OLB Preston Smith (@PrestonSmith94) has been hunting QBs every week in 2019 - 5 Sacks, 4 QB Hits, 15 Hurries thru 5 games.

But what ELSE is he doing?

Getting hands up in passing lanes? - Yep.

Running vertically downfield w/ a TE? - Yep.

I'm trying to think of the last FA signings we've had that outperformed the expectations fans had of them.  I don't mean unproven young guys who hadn't been given an opportunity yet (Farve, Ahman Green, Ryan Grant, maybe Al Harris) but guys who had been starters or played significant snaps on their previous teams enough to guage your expectations.  Maybe Woodson but he was injured and had shown elite ability before GB.

This is not the Preston Smith you would have seen in WAS.  And Zadarius flashed last year but with fewer snaps and I don't think with his current consistency.  It's kind of crazy.  It's almost always the other way around.  Are they currently the top ranked pass rushing duo in the league?

i would say reggie white and woody.  thats about it.  far 3rd peppers.

I think we got what we expected from Reggie.  His best ball was with PHI but he still had plenty left when he was in GB.  Woodson is kind of the same but there were some questions because of his injury and attitude.  Also think we got what expected from Peppers.

Cullen Jenkins was a FA pick up right? He exceeded what I thought he'd do. He really was a force on that DL. 

Gilbert Brown but I don't know if he never got a chance in MIN or he didn't perform when he did get one.

No way Packers loose this one.

I think we got more out of Woodson than we expected. I think some were skeptical of his effectiveness after his injury and personal reputation. I doubt anyone expected him to be a DPOY and an all-time great team leader. 

They got more out of Jared Cook than I expected. He was kind of underutilized by STL and really developed a strong connection with Rodgers.

Letting Jenkins walk was a big mistake back in the day.  Made zero sense to me...

Dewey Beats Truman.

No daggers before the 3rd quarter please.

Letting Cook go because we thought Bennett was going to be better is still haunting us. Cook right now is more explosive than Graham. 

PackersWire has a good article on the Turf Toe injury with specific information on the injury from an orthopedic surgeon.

The last paragraph about the injury related to Adams says, "He likely won’t practice much if at all before he plays. In a photo Rob Demovsky tweeted out Friday, Adams was wearing tennis shoes and not a walking boot or hard soles shoe which is actually a very good sign. He very well may play Monday against the Lions. This may not be decided until just before the game when they see how well he can go with the injection, tape and orthosis combined."

Third round pick cut after his first training camp. The Queens just fucked that one up.

Sorry, neither made the final roster with the Packers.

Adams officially ruled out for Mondays game.

Mike Daniels officially ruled out for Monday's game.

Genius.

I would add Keith Jackson and Desmond Howard to the list.  They didn't stay long but they had a big impact while they were here.

Also Don Beebe

They traded for Keith Jackson. 

The Packers have done a great job getting Jones in space with the passing game- that should be a big factor Monday. 

It's about time they take the top off the defense with some vertical stuff if Detroit comes in thinking they need to stop Jones.

Keith Jackson was the key to beating the Cowboys and moving  the GBP further into the playoffs. Chumura was solid for us but Jackson had that edge and experience that could get us into the Super Bowl.

Sharpe played with turd toe one season.  I remember he wouldn't practice during the week then he'd play on sunday.

Turf toe.

Prediction: X4 is going to have a major orgasm because this will be the game Jake Kumerow gets more targets and really breaks out.

Actually, Carolina beat the Cowboys in the playoffs in 96 so beating Dallas had nothing to do with getting into the SB.

I think of all the guys they added after Reggie, Eugene Robinson was the best move of them all.

I got turd toe once when I was dating this really freaky chic. Just shake it off. You can still play football with it

Mike Daniels is having a major, so isn't  TJ Hockenson.

Wow, until I read your post, I thought that our injuries would most probably cause a loss. Now I am reconsidering that. Yet I think that the loss of Adams, Savage and Tonyan as well as the poor play from the other WRs will limit us. They have a strong run game and that is another weakness that this team has shown. Stafford can throw the ball well and they have a strong return game. So, if we win it will be a close win.

Another yawner.....
