Exactly. That’s been our issue this season is our OL was (is) discombobulated. The blocking is all over the map. Some good some not good and it’s like working through a maze.
He was drafted to be our Juszczyk, but doesn't seem to provide a lot of juice for this offense. Of course, he needs to be used more, and losing him during his rookie season set him back. I think he's a work in progress.
We need him and the line to be clicking in January. That’s when he would be worth every bit of round 2.
I hated the pick, mostly because of what happened with picks 1 and 2 in that draft. And I didn’t like the value of it in the 3rd round. But his role is needed more and more in offenses like the Packers. And like I mentioned in another thread, he’s played well lately.
The Lions have been to look terrific at times. In Week 2 last year they looked pretty good around halftime. But as we all know. The Lions are the Lions. Let us hope they continue another week.
The Patriots shut them out. I hope we watched some of that film.
Our defense would benefit from watching nearly any Bill Belichick era Patriots defense play. Bill gets a lot out of his players, nobody schemes better than Bill.
I like him. I would actually like to see him more involved in the Offense though. He’s primarily a ST and until last week averaged 15 snaps on O per game. Mostly as a blocker. Im sure you recall last seasons finish by him as you noted earlier this season. He’s been near non existent as a Receiver
We do match up well with Detroit and you can see what Dallas just did to them. Other than DB Turnovers the Packers Defense is built in the mold of Dallas. Dallas allows lots of Rushing yards but like us they actually play the pass great. We have allowed too many singular coverage errors “big plays” for TD’s but also we’ve hurt ourselves almost as much as our opponent has hurt us imo.
Ironically, his big yardage play happened against the Lions in WK 18 last year.
there was a reason why they sprinkled him in after college where he was ran into the ground and beat up. He is doing ok but needs to sharpen cutting, otherwise he is solid.
Its a good thing their D is worse than ours. ;-)
Unfortunately their offense is ranked 4th in yds/game (Packers are 17) & 9th in pts/game (GB is 26).
If things go as planned at OL and we can get Bak AND Jenkins playing together for a few contests, I could see them peeling Josiah off from in-line on a few more passes. The name Josiah itself has historic roots in Revival, Rediscovery and Recommitment so if anyone can recoup it’s Deguara!
Using a 2-TE formation more would allow the best of both worlds, IMHO. Lewis & Deguara on called run plays/early downs, and Tonyan & Deguara on called pass plays/3rd downs.
