Game 4 - Packers @ Buccaneers - Sunday, Oct. 4th @ 12:00 PM

[CheezWizHed]

Welcome to week 4 of the NFL season and game 3 on the road already.  The Packers OL has spent a busy week and a half introducing themselves to each other.  Better late than never I guess. But who is ready to start is the big question. Will Zeitler have enough time (great German pun...) to be able to play this week? 

Tampa hasn't looked great either... but poor looking teams have looked great against the Packers so far this year.  The 91 degree temps in Tampa doesn't do us any favors either.

I'm guessing Tomlinson plays and Zeitler is inactive.  If Zeitler gets two practices and the team decides he's already better than Jacob Monk, then the organization can get dumped on even more for thinking that Monk was an NFL starting caliber RG entering the season.

[HarryDoyle]

This game is going to go a long way in showing if this is one of the worst teams in the NFL or just a tad below mediocre.

Aaron Banks and Jacob Monk didn't practice on Wednesday.  I'm already assuming Tomlinson in at LG although that is not a given.  If Monk is out, then it will be interesting to see if it is Zeitler, Burton or Jennings at RG.  Karl Brooks and Anthony Campbell also did not practice, but Warren Brinson did (but was limited).  DL is one of the deepest positions on the roster, even if all three miss the game, they still have Wyatt, Hargrave, Ford and McClellan in the rotation.

In addition to Baker Mayfield being injured, WR-Chris Godwin did not practice and starting RB-Bucky Irving was limited in practice.

The articles I've read from two packer site seem to have Tomlinson as a foregone conclusion at LG.  They were also reporting that Zeitler, Jennings, and Glover were working at RG.  Zeitler would start if he is ready (physically and understanding the offensive calls).  Becton sounds like his is further from ready as he was more recently recovered from an injury. 

[JosephC]

Aaron Banks and Jacob Monk did not practice at all again on Thursday, and now Jager Burton has shown up on the list as having a limited practice with a groin injury.  Warren Brinson went from a limited practice on Wednesday to not practicing on Thursday, while the opposite was true with Karl Brooks.

Chris Godwin had a full practice on Thursday, which should be a big help to the undrafted rookie QB.

Bay of Pigs!

[JosephC]

Packers-

OUT = OG-Aaron Banks, OG-Jacob Monk, DT-Warren Brinson, DT-Anthony Campbell

QUESTIONABLE = OG-Jager Burton, LB-Edgerrin Cooper

Bucs-

OUT = QB-Baker Mayfield, TE-Ko Kieft, LB-Rueben Bain, CB-Benjamin Morrison

QUESTIONABLE = DT-Rakeem Nunez-Roches, LB-SirVocea Dennis, CB-Jacob Parrish

[homer]

Cooper is out of concussion protocol

[HarryDoyle]

How do you manage an illegal formation on the kickoff?

[HarryDoyle]

And how do you not hang on to a perfect pass practically uncovered? On the bright side, the O- line looked like competent.

Who punts on 4th and 2 from the edge of FG range ?

[HarryDoyle]

His knee was down. Interception.

Matt LeFleur

[adambr2]

That has to be our longest run of the season.

We might have the worst set of running backs in the NFL.

[HarryDoyle]

I take it Kraft is a big part of the game plan.

They're certainly not goal to go backs. We need a bruiser back there. I'd go pass, pass, pass now.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Today's NFL is a brutal watch...barely into October and there are unwatchable games all over the schedule already.

Including Packers / Bucs

I attempted to watch the London game. That was brutal.

How many balls has Kraft dropped this season ?

What ever the count was it just sent up by one.

 

[HarryDoyle]

Thanks for the gift, refs. That wasn't close to PI.

[Fear The Chorizo]

Thats a terrible flag for defensive PI.

 

MLF and the packer offense back to trying to set the record for how many plays a drive can be while not scoring 

[HarryDoyle]

That second down was a wasted call.
