I don't think Nelson will play much if at all. If he goes over the middle...bye bye ribs.

Jordy will wear a flap jacket around the rib area that has an electric shock on the outside, so if anyone hits him there, they'll get tazed with 10,000 volts.

Jordy and Adams will play today according to ESPN!! O hell yea!!!

That's half the equation, now we need Adams to be able to run and cut like he has 2 good ankles and Jordy to be able to extend and catch the ball

Exactly. Those injuries, & Adams in particular, tend to re-occur, hobble him. The difference between a sharp Adams and a not-sharp Adams are those passes off his hands, which can be picked off.

We can't have the Adams who dropped 2 TD passes in Chicago week 15 and 1 vs Minnesota week 16.
Nor can we have the Adams who dropped a TD at Arizona last season week 16, or the year before vs New England.

Cobb 90%
Adams 75%
Jordy ???%
Allison 85%

Davis
Janis

Cook

Ty
Michael ?%
Rip

Will be interesting how the ball is spread around, but let's hope this: Let's hope we run more plays, for more yards, more T.O.P., and more points.

True. Which is why we should call more down n out to the sidelines etc.. he can still be very effective while committing to limited exposure.

Any update on Burnett?

Rapoport also reported that Green Bay is optimistic that safety Morgan Burnett (quadriceps) will play.

I think Burnett being able to play is huge for the defense against this Falcons offense. Try to shut down Julio Jones as much as you can, but don't let a player like Sanu kill ya!

Perhaps Nelson and Adams will share snaps. The Falcons may still have to honor either receiver with one of their two best DBs. That could help to free-up one of the healthier Packer WRs. And if the Falcons cover them with one of their lesser-capable DBs Nelson and Adams could get favorable match-ups here and there that may help to offset their physical limitations.

Barring further injury/re-injury that limits his play-calling significantly, MM should have something creative up his sleeve for that vaunted Falcons secondary.
