OL: I think they're still trying to figure out whom their best RG option is. My guess is that the Packers would prefer not to rotate OL as well, but they realized last year, they were probably not re-signing JRJ and Rhyan needs game reps to develop, and Ryan's highlights are very big, the issue is that his lowlights are also surprisingly low. I might be totally wrong, but I'm guessing as the season goes along, we'll see Morgan more and more consistently at RG with less rotations.

======================

TE: There was an interesting item with Musgrave on Twitter, as former Packers QB Kurt Benkert blamed TE Musgrave for the INT, saying Love trusted Musgrave to run the route, and cross the coverage man's face, and he didn't. While Love still throw the ball across his face, because he expected Musgrave to cross the face.

Interesting former Packers QB Kurt Warner weighed in and defended Musgrave. Saying based on the Eagles ILB blitz, Musgrave thought the play was hot (get the ball out fast), based on that, Musgrave did the correct thing. And that a TE can't be expected to see that they only rushed 4 with the DE dropping while the ILB blitzed.

Warner seemed to suggest that Love should of read that Musgrave thought the route was hot by how he turned and looked back at him the entire time, and either thrown the ball directly at him, or since the play was not hot, waited for someone else, in which watching the play, someone is open on a curl to the left and there is about to be a crossing pattern behind Musgrave that's about to come wide open.

Either way, Musgrave did not play a single offensive snap after that, so seemingly the coaches either blamed Musgrave, and/or blamed the lack of a Love/Musgrave mental connection.

=======================


WR: I think it's simply Watson is the deep guy and deep guys probably need more breathers. Also maybe Reed is making plays, so try to get him on a bit more.


DT: Udub, your DT comments confuse me, because you said both, that Hafley prioritizes NTs AND that NT Slaton out snapping the undersized penetrators confuses you. If Hafley prioritizes the NT position, then wouldn't the NT out snap the backups?


DE: Van Ness was a DT almost his entire life. Even his last year at Iowa, when he supposedly switched to OLB, about half of his snaps came from a DT like position. So this is only his second year playing primarily Edge Rusher. I felt like he was a 3 year development guy like I thought of Love, super high potential, but no way ready right away. But also, it is very surprising to see Enagbare get more snaps than Van Ness. With all due respect, Enagbare doesn't have the physical gifts that Van Ness does. I wonder if this could of been a matchup decision with trying to limit the Eagles run game.


LB: I haven't read much, but I think I saw a headline saying Cooper was Packers defenses highest PFF grade. And Packers LB certainly had some issues in coverage on the RBs and zone drop with WRs.

S: I'm a little surprised they didn't get Williams a bit more involved, maybe covering the RBs. I'm not sure about Williams deep, but as SS/LB role, I think he could of been helpful.

CB: Was the CB2 battle tight? I didn't hear of anyone pushing Stokes for time. I heard a lot of hype for Valentine, but seemed like he's clearly the next guy up should something happen to Alexander, Stokes or Nixon.
