I would only add that Jaire Alexander has been a revelation at DB for the Packers and a possible DPOY candidate given his play thus far.

You can hope for Graham to get more targets, but I wouldn't expect much even if does. It's obvious now almost 1.5 years later that the Graham signing was one of the few swing and misses for Gute. IMO they should sit him until totally healthy and divide his snaps between Tonyan and Lewis. Perhaps if he comes back totally healthy in a few weeks you might be able to get something out of him, or you might find there isn't any reason to play him at all.

He's gone after this year, so quit wasting time "trying" to get him involved...he simply cannot do it anymore, see who else on the roster can.

Nice summary Dave. I can’t say I disagree with much of what you wrote. I think the fact King is on this list is a little tough. I think the first two games were pretty good from him. As you stated, he struggled against Sutton. However, he has missed so much time the first two seasons of his career the fact that he is playing and holding his own is a positive. Just think ups and downs should be expected given the lack of actual time on the field.

Here’s hoping he stays healthy and his performance becomes more consistent with time.

Last years second round pick Jackson has done little or nothing on defense or STs. But I guess you can’t have stock down if it really has not been up to begin with.

Allison is still on the team because everyone after Adams is pretty much the same, except for MVS possibly. Allison looked like he might be on the verge of breaking out last year right before he was injured, so I think that's what earned him his spot this year. He killed a drive in each of the last two games. He needs to turn it around to stay in GB next year.

Unless something changes, Graham is an example of keeping a guy 1 year too long. Maybe MLF can be true to his word this week, and figure out a way to utilize him properly.

The guy that left me speechless last game was the Denver RB Linsay on the TD run where he broke tackles by Clark and Lowry(?).

The Smiths continue to impress me.

Lindsay made the pro bowl last year. Sometimes good players just make plays. I think that Clark’s stock dropped a bit this week because of it.

"The Smiths" are something GB hasn't had in GB since Reggie and Sean Jones. Seriously.

Stock does goes up and down. King is still what this defense needs. He's still physical and exceptional. He's no bust! Forget the roller coastal ride. A good foundation starts with Footings. And King is part of it. The problem with any portfolio is getting rid of the underachievers. And Allison and Graham are underachievers. Is LeFluers offense to tough for them? Doubt it. Allison does not have the speed for the slot. And that is problem #1. The SLOT! Problem two was the OL./ Jenkins is the cure. OL Stock going up. So that leaves us with the TEs. No body can make heads or tails of this. Expecting TEs to be blockers, more then game changers is a "mistake". It's holding Graham back. (While he is hurt.) The TE's just aren't OL. Wasting 10 mil on a TE is a crime. Graham must become part of the game plan.

IMO, stock should be up for Jenkins. Rookie starting his first game and he not only played well but helped the rest of the OL play better also. He could solidify this OL for many years to come.

As I said at the time, the Graham signing was a mistake. He’s much slower, often injured etc. I’m pretty sure Gute would like a do over. If we’re not going to at least try and get him involved, then just sit him. Give Tonyan more looks and would like to see more of Vitale. Our D has been great so far with the exception of the run D. Hope Pettine has some new wrinkles to fix it. Go Pack and continue to stay healthy!

What's crazy to me is the hype train from camp. All you heard was Z Z Z and nothing about Preston. Now that its game time Preston is absolutely ballin..

After Geronimo's play in the 2018 season before season-ending injury, I don't know how anyone could claim they "have not really seen any progression from Geronimo over the last couple of seasons."

Allison is off to a slow, sub-par start in 2019, no question. However, observers said he was quietly impressive during training camp (including Rodgers), and he came out in 2018 on fire, consistently producing, and making big plays. If 2018 wasn't a progression for Allison, he must have been criminally under-utilized in 2017.

I know you threw love to Bulaga. And another threw love to Jenkins. But the stock is up on the pass rusher containment on the entire offensive line. One hit on AR the whole game??!? That’s absurd. Not even a grass stain. I know he threw the ball away about five times to prevent from dying......but still. Not sure I’ve seen a performance quite like that. And it couldn’t come at a better time with a short week. Rodgers can have a scotch and a massage and it will barely matter. He doesn’t even have to do an ice bath or get on a plane. It’s not like the Bronco pass rush is slouch. Von Miller an all pro. 98 sacks. 14.5 just last year. Stonewalled. Chubb.....12 sacks last year. Stonewalled. Big egg for both. Played every snap. Lol.....Rashan Gary 26 snaps. Has more sacks this season than either of those two. And almost had another one based on WYMM where he grabbed Flacco’s jersey and Preston cleans up getting the credit. The whole oline gets the highest stock for keeping AR upright and non injured.....which is basically our season if the “man” goes down.

I love the Bulaga stock, love the guy but didn’t think we should give him a new contract, that is quickly changing. He might just play himself to a new deal. Sell on Redmond, I don’t know how that guy made it on this team. All pre season long he missed tackles and assignments, continues to do it in the regular season. If he’s all we have I’d rather just play dime and base to get him off the field. Also bench graham until he’s fully healthy so we don’t keep making excuses for his lack of production.

I get that it will take 6-7 weeks for the team to gel offensively, but what worries me is LaFleur and in-game adjustments. We've scored 45 of our 58 pts. in the first half. So to me, we are getting out coached in the second half on offense. Our defense and Mike Pettine is masking this with our great defensive play.

Football is a game of adjustments. I read on the Athletic that last year, playoff teams averaged 7.80 yards per attempt. I can't recall where we're at, but what I do know is that we are not at 7.80 yards per attempt.

Philly should be missing Ronald Darby. We have to get Adams, Allison and Graham more involved. I just hope it's not another second half snooze fest offensively, because so far, that's all we've seen. While we have played the likes of the Bears and Vikings who have great defenses of their own, expectations will only increase for the offense as each week passes. GO PACK GO!!

A deep and disturbing mystery yet to be solved by knowledgeable fans of the Packers:
Is it our quarterback or our receivers?
Are receivers getting open but Rodgers isn't throwing to them; or are receivers not getting open?
Reading many posts by the staff at CHTV as well as comments by fans has not given a clear answer!
This could take painstaking film study in watching all the receivers every play; but with all the knowledge at this site, I thought there would be more clarity on this critical issue.
Is Aaron Rodgers stubbornly stunting the offense; or is he the victim of substandard receivers?
I guess a third possibility is that the offense needs more time to gel -- but then again, its seems the offense is especially bad thus far, painfully so for us fans, beyond all reason.
Who among us will convincingly solve this distressing dilemma?
P.S. I thought LaFleur's new scheme for the offense was supposed to help receivers to get open rather requiring them to always beat a defensive back one on one.

For all the crap many of you/us give Thompson for what he didn't do or did do wrong, he drafted WRs better than anyone.

Jennings, Jordy, Davante were all Grand Slam picks.
James Jones was at least a solo dinger. I'd grade it higher but that was 2007 & we could have gotten that year's record-setting Randy Moss from Oakland for that pick.

Thanks for updating the desktop interface - much better. CHTV stock is on the rise.

Nice job on acknowledging the highlighters from the last week. I am still a little skeptical about the sustainability of this defense, particularly against the run. After Clark and maybe Lowry, the talent slides fast. Would like to see us get more depth into the game in the trenches because, with this sputtering offense, Clark is gassed by the 3rd quarter. Also worried about LB depth. Martinez then who? As we start to meet the better QBs and offenses, the rubber will need o hit the road.

But low, sell high! Therefore I’m buying Rashan Gary. With his fresh legs he is an X factor in this defense and his speed is downright scary. He has already been double teamed on some of his snaps and he still gets to the QB.

I think he gets even more snaps against the Eagles and becomes more of a factor in this week’s game. Gary and the Smiths have the potential to wreck a game either collectively or individually.

If our offense can stay on the field long enough to keep our defense fresh they are going to do plenty of damage.

Start fast, then ball control and the defense will do the rest. Go Pack Go! Thanks, Since ‘61

Is there any plan to LaFleur's offense?... it's all random, not a passing game, not a running game, plays are basic, few multiple receiver sets, early runs into stacked D lines, few passes over the middle, same old sideline passes for four yards when you need ten... I think Rodgers is getting frustrated with this Titan offense. He remembers what a high flying offense looks like and this ain't it. It's not enough to say it will take six weeks to gel... Rodgers is a Hall of Fame QB, Adams is top five WR, Jones is a top 10 running back, two great tackles, a pretty good OL... this offense shouldn't be this bad even in week one let alone three. All around the league rookie receivers are outplaying our veterans, rookie QB's are outplaying our Hall of Fame QB... how come they don't need six weeks to get used to a system? Problem is we don't have receivers or tight ends who can get open and for all the hype about him being an offensive genius LaFleur seems to have no idea how to scheme receivers open. Sit Allison and Graham, play Shepheard or Kumerow and Tonyan and go to an offense more geared to our QB; pass to set up the run. Watch Brady/Belichick tape if you need a lesson. Move Adams in and out of the slot. Use Jones more and don't fall back to the McCarthy mindset of using Williams more than Jones because occasionally he pushes the pile. Jones is the stud, get him the ball the way New Orleans gets Kamara the ball. Rodgers and LaFleur need to have a long sit down to figure this out, with each contributing. LaFleur is the head coach and has the final say, but he has nowhere near the experience of Rodgers, one of the greatest and smartest QBs of all time.
