That's exactly what I would do and keep doing if it was working. 12 personnel all day, with a TE on each side and wherever Hutchinson goes he gets double-teamed.
I think he is the biggest threat to the Packers' chances in this game.

Defensively, I want Parsons replacing McDuffie, so he and Cooper can take turns blitzing while Gary and VanNess focus on 1. stopping outside runs by Jahmyr Gibbs, and 2. collapsing the pocket on Goff.
This also leaves Walker free to focus on RBs and shallow passes.
McKinney is going to have to cover deep, because the Lion WRs are no joke (and I'd be very concerned about a trick deep play to Teslaa). Our CBs ARE going to get beaten; hopefully it will be held to a minimal number of explosive plays.
That means Evan Williams is going to carry one of the biggest forgotten burdens in this game: LaPorta.

I wish we had a really good blocking TE or an OL who would use a 6th OL as one. I don’t want Kraft or Musgrave chipping. I want them running receiving patterns because it’s a waste of Kraft and Musgrave is really a guy who needs to get up field. One plus a true blocker (Belton being an obvious candidate) … and let that player lead block as a wrinkle too.

Walker and tom can take care of him one on one

It’s not Love who starts slow but LaFleur’s calling oftentimes.

Until the Packer offense can prove, CONSISTENTLY, that they can fast start and maintain control of the game through the duration, this moniker will stick. It's not just one guy, like Love, but there has been a myriad of issues in the past that are team-oriented, including, IMO a lack of cohesion due to real play time prior to the season. Let's hope the team is focused from the start. GO PACK!

Speaking of character issues-I remember him falling in the Draft after he was cited for racing @ speeds over 100 MPH which resulted in a crash, subsequent death in the other car and ole' Jalen did not assist but fled the scene. NFL doesn't care about character. I heard the Vikings have the highest arrest numbers.

That may be true, but it's also debateable. Dallas defense is going to struggle, but they have a very good offense and they might've scored the same amount whether Carters there or not. Also, if butterfingers catches the ball more I think Dallas wins.

You must be an eagles fan Who cares he’s a dirty player from college on

I hope he continues to be a dumbass and hurts their chances to win. The Eagles chose to have him on their team. They deserve whatever they get.

Keel haul him!

@MrTundra.
The camera recorded that Dak spat at him first, then grinned at him, which is a pretty severe provocation (yes, the referees missed that).

I never liked Dak, and now I have even more reason to dislike him, spitting is such a classless action. That doesn't excuse Jalen, but it does add some mitigation to his action.

I was referring to when Clark was in the game he was only in periodically in the fist half but did have 1/2 sack, stuffed the middle and was double teamed almost every off play by the Eagles when he was playing.

When Clark on the field Cowboys gave up 2.8 yards per carry 6.6 when he wasn't....

The Packers had the #3 rushing defense in yards/rush average, which was a huge leap from the previous season, and now we've said goodbye to two of the DTs that made it possible. It's a tremendous endorsement of Wyatt and Brooks, and Wooden and Brinson. The Packers are betting they can do a satisfactory job against the run while maximizing pressure against the pass.

A reckless bet? The Packers organization isn't know for reckless bets, at least since Wolf. This Packers defense is unabashedly a defense against the pass, and they want to be able to win as many passing downs as possible.

In a game where your opponent threw 36 passes, they're probably completing 24 of them, and every completion costs you 10 yards. Most TDs come through the air. So they won 24 plays, the defense won 12. I think that if you can tip that balance even a little, to maybe a 21/15 ratio, and then include a turnover or two........

So that's where the defensive emphasis is this year, IMO, based on what I've seen and read so far. Not stuffing the run, but trying to win more passing downs. More pressure and more takeaways.

We have no idea what our interior D line is. While many are saying our CB is the only weakness on this roster I put that even with our DTs until proven otherwise.

Hafley has a real opportunity to work his magic ...

I really like his potential, but his run defending grade is below average, he needs to get better in that area.

Butkus and Steno better show ROI for the investments in the OL...LaFleur better expect it too.

how is Jeffry Lurie dirty? What on earth are you talking about? Great GM, a better owner than most. Lurie funded a documentary a friend of mine produced and he and his wife were reportedly total gems to work with.

I think it actually says they want these guys to JUST play...

I'm going to be a bit more optimistic and think the back issue is a non-issue and say 30+. If the back is an issue, that's a different story, but after watching practice clips of him moving the sleds around I hardly think he's hurting.

Parson's stated in his presser yesterday he knows about 80% of the playbook now. He says he keeps telling the coaches "give me more to do". But he understands "that is up to what the coaches want to do". Micah seems very intelligent, motivated, and confident.

He also said he was very surprised with the close knit, focused locker room culture...he said "really, the best I have been around". Parsons said he came in for PT on Tuesday and every one on the team was in the locker room during down time.

Hafley said he knew Parsons was smart...but he was very surprised as "just how high a football IQ he has." He said Parsons listens and immediately repeats the play, concept and his responsibility. "He really gets it!", said a beaming Haf.

That's a number I like, too. Just don't overdo it, whatever that number winds up being

They score a lot of points. Sometimes they run up the score, but they were still really good on offense. I don't really have a good answer for how to defend Detroit other than don't get them any help by committing penalties or missing tackles,or giving them a short field. Make them earn the yards and points.

The Packers should have the mentality that they need to score 30 points to win this. Even with our new superduper defense, we're going to need to score 30 in the home opener. 20 is not going to get it done, just ask Dallas.

Lean on our main dogs: Jacobs and Wilson. Throw it to Kraft and Doubs. They're healthy, they're veterans, and I trust them more than I'd trust Wicks or an injured Reed.

I think everybody is correct. We need a total team game. When passing, Detroit has thrown the quick hitter/timing passes against us, generally with Goff not holding the ball long. We need to match with quick pressure, especially up the middle, and be tighter in coverage.

But the real issue has not been the D, but the sluggish O. Give Detroit credit, too! However, we have not been focused mentally, for whatever reason, early in games and I believe Love's injuries have contributed to his inaccuracies in the past. Still, it will be how the O brushes off adversity after a bad penalty, missed blocking assignment, inaccurate throw, wrong pattern, or, dare I say it, another dropped pass that will demonstrate their fortitude. I will take a heavy dose of Jacobs and company, too, which we can do more of, if we command a lead.

You were doing pretty well until the last paragraph.

I don't think McDuffie was a liability. PFF might, but I don't and the Packers obviously don't either because they re-signed him for two years. I think it's unwise to draw any conclusions from our games last December because that would include big point games from Detroit and Minnesota, a shutout of New Orleans, and holding Seattle, at home, to 13 points, and 24 in a meaningless game against Chicago. I think you can safely say that Detroit , Minnesota, and Philadelphia were better than us last year. By how much, and how much that'll change this year, are open questions.

This "disastrous scripted plan" stuff....where does this come from? Is he scripting the dropped passes? The holding penalties? Or does he have a Plan B that he goes to then? I, personally, think LaFleur is a really good offensive coach, much better than I was. I would point to last season as an example.

During our loss to the Lions at home, Love threw as bad of an interception as I've even seen a Packer QB throw, at it resulted in a Detroit TD in a game. In all, Love threw 10 interceptions in the first half of the season.

But after that pick, he only threw one the rest of the way. Was that an accident? Or did LaFleur make some decisions about the offense and Love? What do you think is more likely?

You underrate MLF. He's a better coach than you give him credit for.

One of my unfortunate memories of last year is Gary or one of the other rushers getting into the backfield immediately but being unable to turn and make a play fast enough. We could penetrate but we visibly lacked bend and swerve. There was no one to flush the QB out. Parsons has both in swathes. As does Oliver on paper. It seems to me that the Packers front office shared the same bad memories.

I hope Parsons coaches up the rest of the room with a pass rush plan and moves! If he can succeed at that he's well worth the trade even if he's limited for a while.

The secret to Goff is someone coming straight at him from the front. As you suggest, that’s when he makes bad decisions even if he’s not actually hit. He tends to get hit a lot because he’s not mobile, but the damage is often done by causing hesitation/blocking his dump offs as much as taking him down or avoiding the big completion. Once he’s moving he’s an easy target for outside players to mop up.
