Rookie of the week!

Doubs is the first Packers rookie to win the award since Jamaal Williams (Week 14, 2017).

Please don't bring him up. I'm still crushed we lost that fun human being in FA.

That’s great.
I saw that only 2-3 Rookie WR’s have exceeded his impact. He was slightly behind London and Olave and there were also names mentioned in the running for Rookie of the Year. That’s some really stellar Company!

sometimes Jones can make his own way even though the blocking is poor. If there is just a little space. But Dillon can't go too far unless he has the original hole.

Jone's shiftiness in tight quarters makes gains happen at times when nothing was there...or nothing happens.
Dillon in tight quarters can make nothing into two yards against nearly any defender out there...but if nothing is there, he is again ONLY getting two yards.

They so special in their own right.

This season, Dillon has both regressed in yards before and after contact so far. I understand it's a small sample size but I expected more out of him as a running back earlier in the season.

The blocking has to be better and since imho it is more difficult for linemen to run block than to pass block; the better run blockers are who we should be going with and in the positions where they are most effective doing that. Decent run blocking is what opens up the play action.

The Packers definitely need to play their best pass rushers to keep Rodgers upright. I would like them to excel in blocking for the run as well but prefer them to protect the franchise quarterback.

Even though the offensive line hasn't been great to this point, they've done a fairly decent job of keeping defenders off Rodgers, and are slowly rounding into form when it comes to run blocking. We have to remember that it goes beyond the interior 5 linemen blocking on runs, to WRs and TEs getting chips on players behind the defensive line of scrimmage, to create more yards after first contact. It's going to improve as they season progresses, and as it does, the passing game will get better, and that will even contribute to the running game improving even more.

It's a process that takes time. In the meantime, the objective is to stay within the window of the playoffs, and letting the rest come to you as you go.

I do believe we may have seen the match up for the NFC championship play out between the Packers and Tampa Bay. They could well be the two teams left when they reach that point in the playoffs.

Of course, a lot of things can alter the course of things for both teams, between now and then. That's why they play the games every week.

In early OTA’s there has been a noticeable connection between Doubs and Love. The more I watch Doubs the more he moves like a higher end Pro Receiver. I see parts of several former Packers in his movement style. He’s got a mixture of James Jones and Davante Adams. Interestingly enough when GB drafted Doubs, James said that Doubs resembled himself the closest of any of the 2022 draft class. In April, MLF made a comment that Doubs has "some Davante Adams-type movement skills." I agree and I noticed this in several plays in his 2022 highlights reel. My prediction is Watson will get doubled more this year with Safety help and thus Doubs should get a nice increase in targets.

Doubs is an intelligent receiver. He understands his job, and is working on those little things that separates the better ones from the rest. I think Watson and Doubs are going to be a pleasant surprise for the Packers this year. I think Love will seek them out a lot.

I think you're right about Doubs. And he's been more vocal lately and he sounds confident. Hope he and Love have great years.

Doubs to me is more Mr Consistency while Watson is that Homerun type guy for sure.

Imagine a world where both become their ceilings…..

With an above average QB (call it top 15) I could see either developing into a 1,000 yard receiver.

Maybe. Long way to go for a new QB and two second year WRs. I’ll be happy if they win -with O, D, and STs.
