thanks again Al. On that one play where we got a td, I did notice that Love kind of knew where the ball was going and threw it quickly. Ya that may not work against real defenders. That ball could have just as easily been picked because the receiver had someone right there next to him. Rodgers would not have thrown that ball.
Gonna be interesting this season.

That last one, Al, on the Jaylen Reed TD, was a beautiful play designed tag team by Watson and Dillon.

Despite not getting his number called much throughout preseason, Christian Watson has surprised the hell out of me with his improved conditioning coming into OTAs/TC, and all the good stuff he's doing away from the play. His blocking has been really fun to watch.

Team leader. 100%. We're watching him in the process of assuming that role.

Good call!!!

Play one- I don’t like Dillion to start that Deep.
Dillion + Decisiveness = Getting Stuffed>
Play Two- Bad Habits? This isn’t college. Rule #1.
Play Three- Tom looks like Bulaga. Keep him there.
Loved your 3 plays. Tell it like it is!

According to PFF (or the better known PFFT...), Zack Tom was worse than any Packer on the Planet has ever been in any game (preseason or regular) during that NE game or somewhere in that ballpark. Now who was that guy that was pushing his man in front of Dillon, about 10 yards from the line of scrimmage. I saw a 50 on the Jersey and it sure looked like Zack Tom, but who was that bulldozer? Are they using the jersey number 50 for multiple players this preseason? I guess PFF scores that as a negative play because Tom wasn't really blocked then when he did hit a NE player it was at full steam so I guess more negative points for Tom because he had a head start.

Good to see Musgrave doing some blocking. He doesn't need to be a great blocker, he just needs to be a good enough blocker. Maybe he already is. More importantly, his ability to get downfield and catch passes will force the defense to spread out, creating more space for our ball carriers. It's been a long time since we had a really good pass catching tight end. I'm excited.

Nice pick up Al.

1st clip - well that was something we were all b*tching here whole last season, if not longer. We were praying to put the ball in AJ Dillon hands when he is already almost at top speed. When you are running fast, every decision (even bad one) has to be sudden. But Dillon's mass and force of the punch very often ends with lot of bodies on the ground. He should use that more often, especially on the second defensive level...

2nd clip - yes, you are right. Sometimes is better to throw the ball away than to risk injury of your co-player(s) or possible interceptions. But, on positive side of that throw is that Jordan showes us again that he is fast learner.

3rd clip - In game, when watching it, it looks to me that Dillon blocked defender by falling prematurelly, but with your notice, now I was able to see why he was going that low... And kudos to Watson!

Play 1: Looks like a great blocking job by Kraft on Judon, and he kept fighting right through to the whistle. You love to see that kind of effort against a really good player.

Wish I could have seen the game. Have a chance tomorrow. My first recording on NFL they showed the Steelers-Bills instead of the scheduled Packer game. I was kind of upset (was probably my provider).

What I see from Al's clips is teamwork. A concept that will improve this team and take it to unexpected heights.

Thanks Al!

Thanks, Dr. Al. I rewatched the game and still completely missed that block by Tom on AJD's bulldozer impersonation. Tom is quite the talent. His quick feet and balance for a big man is sublime!

And I missed Musgrave turning his head...that was a good catch. Great example that in football, especially the NFL, doing the little things right can produce bigger results.

I watched the beginning of this breakdown on the Packers D against the Pats and Wyatt looks like he has a long way to go. Wahle brings him up on one play but there's a few others he's really not accomplishing anything. Seems like if his speed doesn't win right from the start of the play he's lost.

I still think his main role should be as the 3T in the 2 DL looks. That's 70% of the snaps anyway but IDK who the 2bd DE would be in base. Maybe go big and put Slaton at DE and Ford at the nose. I guess we'll see in a couple weeks if Wooden and Brooks are ready for primetime. I don't think you want Brooks playing a lot of DE.

Al,

that first play is one I wanted a closer look at, thank you! Hopefully #88 learns from this tape. There's a lot going on in there but yes he could've been more effective simply by focusing on his assignment.

I'll still take a four yard run anytime we can get it.

That last play was absolutely beautiful! Good to see #9 throwing some blocks. Our entire O line room should be studying film of Bakh, the man puts on a clinic every time he sets foot on the field.
