![]() Of course they had their moments, but for every good thing they did they turned around and shot themselves in the foot a play or two later. There was precious little of either today. These guys have been playing together long enough that there should be more cohesiveness and consistency. ![]() The tackles whiffed in pass pro way too much. Run blocking generally not up to their recent standards. Holy moly these guys really regressed this week. One thing I have noticed about him is that he seems to have that quality NFL DBs have to have…amnesia. While he may not be able to replace Williams as a starter quite yet, he’s making a case for additional playing time simply by his performance. He also had at least four other big passes defensed and had a couple of tackles. His interception set up a Packers touchdown. House played exceptionally good pass defense today. 37 kept Browns WRs in check much more effectively than any other Packers DB except Davon House…Ĭhest Bump – to Packers CB Davon House. Overall, the trend seems to be that CB Williams is slipping and CB Shields is improving. Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports photographīrowns WR Gordon. He could potentially have picked Browns QB Weeden at least once and he didn’t allow a catch byĬornerback Davon House (31) celebrates after intercepting a pass against the Cleveland Browns in the first quarter at Lambeau Field. However, he had a couple of important passes defensed that kept the Browns out of the end zone and he always seemed to be around the ball. He’s gone from being one of the strengths of the defense to a liability in a frightening hurry.Ĭhest Bump – to Packers CB Sam Shields. Williams did have a sack and four tackles in the game, but his pass coverage wasn’t what it needed or needs to be. ![]() He also had a personal foul for unnecessary roughness call that was, while somewhat suspect because he couldn’t be sure whether or not the Browns receiver had caught the pass, completely unnecessary and kept a Browns scoring drive alive. Had the Browns been able to throw the ball accurately 38 would have been torched. Williams was beaten in coverage at least three times. I don’t know what’s happening with Williams but whatever it is it seems to be getting worse by the week. Perhaps we need to get Boykin an 80-series number! Plays he made that really caught my eye were the snag of a high pass for a first down early and the touchdown late. ![]() He wasn’t perfect, but he made some critically important plays and showed that he’s more than able to handle the load. His 8 receptions for 103 yards and a touchdown led all Packers receivers. Boykin was called upon to step up and he delivered in a big way. Here are my Chest Bumps and Thumps from the Browns-Packers game:Ĭhest Bump – to Packers WR Jarrett Boykin. After all, they won a Super Bowl with enough guys on IR to sink a party boat on a Minnesota lake (insert rimshot here). If any team can accomplish this it is the Packers. But they have lots of work to do in order to fully integrate the next-man-ups into their roles. I happen to like the throwback uniforms, but that’s my opinion – and beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder.Įither way, the Packers own first place in the NFC North Division. The Packers are now 3-0 in their throwback Acme Packers uniforms. When the team looks at the film from this one, the players will realize just how close the Packers came to losing.Ī win is a win – ugly or otherwise. Had the Packers been facing a team with a quality NFL-caliber quarterback this game could have gone either way or gotten really ugly in a hurry.
