My guess is that Wyatt just needed some time to get used to the NFL. Now he looks like the plug-and-play guy the Packers drafted.

"Packers fans can forgive the coaches for playing Ol Reliable Lowry to this point." Why? It has been evident for quite a few weeks now that Lowry should not be starting out there when we have a guy like Wyatt. All Lowry does consistently is be bad against the run. He should be ONLY used as a 4-tech, not when there are just 2 DL on the field. Guys like Reed, Clark, or Wyatt are better suited to such positions.

I would also like to see more of Jonathan "The Ford" Ford. I want to see what he can do against the run. It'd be nice if he were sprinkled into the DL rotation. Chris Slayton on the PS is another guy they could explore.

I wonder what the recent signing of WR Bo Melton (who also has returning experience) means in regard to Watson's and Nixon's injuries? Hopefully they're both good to go against Minny on Sunday

This is my complaint with MLF. He played Royce Newman and Jake Hanson, while Zach Tom and Nijman sat on the bench. Finally, after way too long, even MLF figured out that Newman and Hanson were really lousy. Even an idiot like me figured out last year that Newman wasn't a player, and I could see in preseason that Zach Tom was ready and better. MLF did the same thing with Amari. How many fumbles and poor decisions and lost games did it take for MLF to finally figure out Amari wasn't a return man? We've got the very mediocre Lowry playing, along with some other mediocre DL's, while Wyatt sits on the bench. It's puzzling.

"beat his man like Neil Peart".

Rush's Neil Peart. Greatest drum beater ever!

Where is this assumption about the forgiving nature of Packers fans coming from? Also, this is the second article in as many days with a comparison to the 2010 team--I don't think so.

Gee, what a surprise: our first round draft pick, who's shown progress in his ridiculously limited snaps, is fulfilling his promise in more extended action. It's a shame that it takes either an injury or grossly subpar play from veterans for the FO/coaching staff to seek alternative solutions (that also includes Nixon,Ford, and to a lesser degree, Tom). I wonder if they're just trying to get their money's worth or self-justification out of certain veterans--or they're just being stubborn and refusing to deviate from their preseason plans.

The more of Wyatt I see, the more I like him--especially his hustle.

This notion of acting slowly this year has happened way too much. Whether not running enough, Or waiting to switch to Nixon. Or use Ford instead of Savage. Or moving Jenkins. Or benching Newman. Or not firing Barry. Or now, waiting to use Wyatt. How bad did it get in numerous games where the Pack get gashed in the running game. Wyatt should have had many chances to play when the Packers couldn't stop the run. How many times did LaFluer admit they should have done something different or sooner.

Lowery to IR out for rest of season.

More than just the 2 plays referenced Lowry has looked like a "dancing panda". We need us some more Wyatt!

Another reason to fire Barry how he did not see this kids potential is a mystery .

"Wyatt made perhaps his best play of the year. He fought off a double team, pressured the quarterback into throwing a release to tight end Durham Smythe; but that wasn’t all—Wyatt then pivoted and ran down Smythe from behind to prevent a first down."

I remember this play, even rewound the DVR to watch a few more times after it happened. ANYTIME a man of Wyatts size hustles downfield. All I could think of was WHY in the hell Wyatt wasn't playing more. Just another WTF moment by the Packers coaching staff. Don't know if that's on Montgomery or Barry, but that shit has GOT to stop.

Yep, and I'm adding Tyler Davis to the list of players who should not be playing. His block on Jones' run was great but he got away with illegal motion. Dafney was better and they released him. I wonder sometimes if the lack of contact in practices make it hard for the coaches to evaluate talent. IDK, like someone said above--it's weird.

How long did we have to watch Amari Rodgers before they put in Nixon? I don’t get why this team refuses to replace subpar player unless there is an injury.

Where are all the "Wyatt is a bust" haters???

Before we anoint Wyatt as the next great defensive lineman lets see what he can do over the next couple of games.

Lowry has been a team favorite but the fans didn't like his play for some reason. Now that he's out Wyatt can prove he deserved to be picked that high.

One of the main arguments for giving Rodgers the largest QB contract in the league, was that the team, having seen Love in all sorts of situations, had decided he was not ready to be a starter. This was the team's evaluation of Love's ability. But this season, in particular, has shown repeatedly that the evaluation of players by the Packers is often wrong. The debacle on the OL that wasn't fixed for weeks. The team repeatedly sending out Amari Rodgers to field kicks. Now, we are finally getting to see the rookies get a chance to show what they can do, but only after lesser players were, unfortunately, injured. The question now becomes, are they properly evaluating Love's ability? Can they truly be trusted to make the best decisions? Recent history would suggest, no.

Keep in mind the Dolphins O line ranks 24th overall in the NFL.
