Who's going to step up?

[gopkrs]

I'll go first with a longshot. Luke Musgrave

 

[lambeaulambo]

I dont know how official any of these guesses are but I will nibble. MLF's play calling. Stop the shotgun bs and make Lovey Howell go play action!!! If play action succeeds then I will guess Doubs big time.

That would and could be huge. At least the part about play calling. And some under center sounds like a good idea

 

[Team Ronny]

Jeff Hafley, has his guys flying around. Defense holds eagles to 10 pts and 300 yds total offense.The bun thrust gets thwarted all game, Hurts fumbles twice and throws to ints..Packers win 14-10.

That would be amazing!
Just Wow..
What was the question again

 

[AKCheese]

They ALL have to step up. It’s the playoffs. Love is the #1 guy who has to step up. He HAS to have a good game. I look for some new tendencies from Hafley. La Fluer needs to take points when they’re there. Move the ball decisively North/South in the run/short pass game. These predictable/flowing/slow developing plays just don’t cut it. Wasted downs.

 

[pacmaniac]

Daniel Whelan.

 

[El Guapo]

The easy call for me overall is Edgerrin Cooper to step up. I expect him to be psyched and have a big game.

My sneaker pick on defense is Nixon and on offense my pick is Melton.

 

[SudsMcBucky]

I'll do it. I'll step up. Just tell me what you need me to do and it's done!

 

[Team Ronny]

Can you be the challenge person.. whoever tells lafleur to do it now, needs to be replaced!

 

[DoURant]

Kenny Clark, he always seems to step up his game in the Playoffs.

 

[gopkrs]

A note of caution. Wicks is a receiver that has the quickness to get open. But if his head is not 100% in the game; LaFleur can't be thinking that we need him. If Wicks is not getting open or drops the ball; I don't think we can stay with him. And I would rather see Heath take his spot than Melton. Wicks and what we do with him could be very important in this game. So as far as stepping up, I'm going to look for Wicks to take that big step.

Doubs is bout to go off...

 

[AmishMafia]

Wilson. Both of them. The LB had a couple of great games and he is due. We have to limit Barkley as much as possible and Cooper cant do it alone. The RB is going to get some playing time and I think we really need to pound it in the run game. If he can keep the chains moving whilst Jacobs is taking a break the Pack can win.

 

[OldSchool101]

If we bring similarly energy that we did at San Paolo this is an absolute toss up. I think there are 4-5 Packers that can be factors in a Stud list that didn’t show or didn’t play enough in our first meeting.

Evan Williams. Didn’t play but is a dynamic young Rookie.

Luke Musgrave. Played a very limited 17 snaps Werk 1 and never really had a good pass thrown in his meager 2 targets. He needs 4-5 targets and 25-35 snaps

If available. Brenton Cox Jr. was on fire recently. He was getting a sack every other game snd pressures in between. He could be an outlier .+ idk if he’s practicing though

Edgerrin Cooper. Barely played in favor of McDuffie. Edgerrin Cooper is likely a guy that could blow up a few plays each half.

Carrington Valentine. He’s played better as his career has evolved. He had big shoes to fill for #23. Yet I feel good about him.

Josh Jacobs. Had just 16 carries in Week1. I’d get him ~25 carries and sprinkle in 6-8 shorter passes and watch him tear it up. They couldn’t stop him Week1.

Just kinda wondering about him.
Eric Wilson played just 20 of 75 Defensive snaps against the Eagles. He had 4 Tackles and 2 TFL. He went into that game full tilt. I’d love to see more of Wilson
Actually Emanuel played superb in our last meeting, although in limited time. Similar story. He had 6 touches for 48 yards.

Emanuel has been a pleasant surprise. Averaging right at 4.9 per carry 504 yards and 4 TD’s. So our 1-2 RB combo ran for 1,833 yards and 19 TD’s on the ground. Plus another 385 yards and 2 TD’s through the air.

Our GB duo packed 2,218 All Purpose with 21 TD’s on 441 Touch (5.03 per)

The Eagles Duo had 2,689 All Purpose
with 16 TD’s on 474 Touch (5.67 per)

 

[Dantés]

The book on the Packers’ offense is to play man. And it works. Their best man beater is Wicks. I don’t know if he will step up, but if he doesn’t I don’t love our chances.

 

[Zartan]

I want Jordan Love to step up. Past few weeks he has been kinda pesterdian. Not really getting the 50 million dollars a year worth out of him down the stretch.

Not sure if that's due to him resgeasing or we don't actually have a true WR1 playmaker.

 

[Pkrjones]

I'm going with Kraft. Teams that chose to feed their TE had very good success. Get him the ball & watch Kraft hurt DB's. 7 receptions, 100+ yds for him bring home the win.

I'd like to see both he and Musgrave get some balls. And if those work; other things should open up. imho

 

[Voyageur]

I see Doubs, Jacobs, and Reed carrying a heavy load on offense. On defense, I think we're going to need to see Gary, Cooper, and Nixon carry some clout. We also need to see a game that he's capable of from Clark. He needs to put pressure on the middle of their offensive line.

We also need to see Love play error free football. No INTs and no fumbles. Throw the ball away when it's necessary. Don't take dumb sacks. He also needs to read the field better.

Our coaches, LeFleur and Hafely, need to keep their heads screwed on straight and make good decisions, not idiotic ones that can cost the Packers the game.

There's a lot of things needed to win this one. Simply put, the Eagles are probably the better team and to beat them you have to play your best game.

 

[Heyjoe4]

Doubs is bout to go off...

Agreed, and especially with Watson out, it's Reed or Doubs. I'm going with Doubs because I think the passing game plan is for shorter passes where Doubs seems to excel. There will be fewer shots down the field because 1) Philly has the #1 D, 2) Watson is out, and 3) MLF won't take a lot of risks, but he'll stay ahead of the sticks and burn clock (he just has to make sure Love sticks to the plan).

Everyone is, of course, talking about Barkley. A lot of teams have had success holding him in check, but it seems every game he finds that home run of 60 plus yards. He didn't get to 2000 yards by accident. The Packers might be able to give up one of those and still prevail, but that's it. And McKinney literally has to be the safety on long throws to Brown.

 

[OldSchool101]

all good thoughts. So I think it’s safe to say it’s going to take a team effort. We each have similar but some different views on who needs to step up.

 

[milani]

I feel it needs to be the offensive line. The trenches come down to where they game must be won. Of course, if we have special teams gaffes like we had years back playing Frisco and Seattle it can throw a solid performance down the tubed.

Yes. The O line better play good. But does that mean you want to keep the TEs in to block? I'm hoping on some plays to get both of them out for a pass at the same time while two receivers go deeper. Probably means keeping Jacobs back to pick up blitzing. But maybe if Jordan escapes to a side; Jacobs can go out into the flat on the other side.
