Good report. The block in the back by Adams was almost a game changer. It was the Packers 2nd half opening drive and they ended up punting. They were on there way to score and gave the Vikings momentum. Rookie mistake, I'm sure Edgar pointed it out to him several times by now.

I still haven't even seen a replay of it.
Was it a legit call?

Disagree on Elliott. Had one near sack and beat the left tackle at least twice. He's got great bend and speed, and has long arms. He lacks strength, and doesn't seem to have any moves outside of a speed rush. Lots of work on him, but there is potential.

I wish this series was in article form rather than vid.

I think improvement from Pennel is very important. We might well need him down the road. Maybe playing a few more than the 7 snaps he got last week would be good. I am happy to see improvement in blocking from Rodgers as well. DBs are still ignoring Richard Rodgers (only targeted once in 30 snaps); Aaron Rodgers needs to target his TEs several times every game to keep the defense honest. The grade given to Adams seems a bit generous. 4 targets, one reception for 10 yards, and a couple of screw-ups in 46 snaps.

"I think improvement from Pennel is very important. We might well need him down the road."
I totally agree. Could he be our modern day Howard Green? Hmm

I really like our rookie class. Anytime you have 2+ rookies starting its a pretty good class usually. I like the potential of a lot of the players as well.
Clinton-Dix while has been up and down a bit, has shown he has a bright future ahead of him.
Adams, I am looking forward to seeing him develop and learn the offense. I think he will be really good in this offense.
I look forward to seeing Abbrederis, I just hope he can come back from his ACL injury and continue to play from where he left off.
Linsley has been the steal of the draft. He has been very, very good. They found a gem in him.
Janis, I look forward to seeing how he develops. Coming from a smaller school, we knew it would take longer to learn the Packers offense, but he has the natural skills to be a very good player.
Pennel and Elliott have been great finds as an UDFA's. Both are starting to see more and more playing time as the season goes on. I look forward to seeing how they play down the stretch.
Great rookie class this year.
