As opposed to having Josh Jackson try to cover somebody?
Another difference from week 6 is the presence of Allen Lazard. He's a good physical match vs Devin White and he blocks well. Outside runs are not off the table if you have someone to seal the LB.

I seem to remember Sullivan being placed at CB. That didn't look too great either.

WOW!
Mike Pettine made the #Packers defense watch the NFC Championship Game loss to the #49ers. If it's a game fans want to forget, how do you think the players feel?

The only starter on this defense who wasn't there for it was Krys Barnes. They're pissed.
Recently MiLf said, and it has been referenced here (Boris I think), that there are a number of plays/schemes they don't run without Lazard. I wondered how much of that might be 21 personnel. So, re-watched a significant chunk of the week 6 game and their pass plays out of 21, even on the 1st 2 drives when they scored, did not fair well. Saw a lot of #82 on the field for GB that game. Best play out of 21 (that I recall) was a 25 yrd run from Williams behind Patrick/Turner after Jones motioned to the left - that was on their TD drive.
I was looking to next season, Fool.
Heard Keke's out. That stinks.
Reminder Packer fans: with the weekend coming up, be sure your bank accounts have transferred the appropriate funds to this weekend's officiating crew to ensure victory.

Seems like a Packer fan, based on his site. Should have probably included a smiley.

Done. I sent the full balance of my bank account. Hope 2.13 was enough.
I saw earlier where Jerry Kramer's birthday is tomorrow.
If the Packers actually needed any more motivation, there's an abundance of it available this weekend.
And beyond.
Chris Simms and Mile Florio both love the Bucs in this one. Both agree Tampa is bigger, faster, more talented, and have more players that will run through a wall just to get to the SB. Simms says TB wins 9 out of 10 vs GB and it’s just a bad matchup for GB. Doesn’t see how the Pack can run up middle vs Vea or outside vs White. Says if Rodgers has a special game Packers have a chance. I think they are off-base and really didn’t speak to some of the things that really caused that week 6 game to go sideways. They did mention too many deep routes, and the need to throw more quick on-rhythm stuff, I agree with that. But as has been said, TB not having zero penalties again, and the Packers have made so many changes that media types don’t even think about, ie. moving Kirksey outside, having Lazard back (huge run block asset), etc. And yeah, Vea isn’t just going to jump in and play every down and dominate. Going to be a great game, and a lot of these talking heads are really reaching with this Tampa is a better team BS.
To no one's surprise I agree with that assessment. TB has a defense that can shut down the Pack for a quarter and a half. Gonna have to overcome something like that if it happens. Need some big plays from our defense. Stick to the plan if adversity strikes.
Of course they have more talent than we do ! 3 consecutive losing seasons and picking up two HOF players & Antonio Brown in the offseason will do that! They have 4 players on defense that were top 15 players chosen in their draft class....we have one in Gary.
It doesn't mean much but all 6 of SI's "experts have the Packers winning. Also K C.

Mike Florio would kick cancer lady in the vagina if it helped the Pack lose.
To quote (almost) the late great Denny Green, "what's great about America is that everyone can have an opinion, what is also great is I don't have to listen to them".
Chris Simms and Mike Florio will both be
looking for real jobs when NBC sports shuts down.
Try not giving a fuck what other people think in general.
It’s very freeing.
I always turn the tv on at 12:59 E.S.T. As well.
