[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 923878, member: 12283"] [B]Offense: [/B]The Packers are in position is be just as potent as they were a year ago. Some of that potency will come with time as the offensive line gets healthy and the young players get up to speed. By mid-season, I expect that a healthy OL with some more experience under its belt will be creating a lot of opportunities in the running game and giving Rodgers plenty of room/time to operate. If everyone's healthy, it will be hard to know who to bench between Turner, Runyan, and Newman. There aren't many teams in position like that. [B]Defense: [/B]It's hard to get a read on this defense. I think you have to throw out week one across the board. But even at that, the Lions largely stopped themselves in week 2. They played pretty well against SF and PIT, but those are two offenses that don't test you downfield hardly at all. Today's game will be a little bit more informative-- the Bengals also like to throw short, but they do have a more effective passing game down the field. One thing I will say for them is that they tackle way better than Pettine's defenses. Whether they make it in the long term or not will come down in large part to whether they learn to communicate and pass off/pick up assignments effectively. [B]Players Exceeding Expectations:[/B] -Billy Turner -Yosh Nijman -Jon Runyan Jr. -Royce Newman -Josh Meyers -Davante Adams -De'Vondre Campbell -Eric Stokes [B]Players Falling Below Expectations:[/B] -Josiah Deguara -Kingsley Keke -Preston Smith -Chandon Sullivan [B]Most Notable So Far: [/B]I think this has to be the offensive line. This about what's happened: -All Pro LT out for 6 weeks. -LG replaces him at LT. -LG goes down, replaced by a UDFA. -Sophomore 5th rounder starting at LG. -Rookie 2nd rounder starting at OC. -Rookie 4th round starting at RG. If all of that happened on virtually any other team, it would be an abject disaster. But in Green Bay, it's just meant that the line is solid, as opposed to outstanding.
