Jaire Alexander said he likes playing off. Jaire also said his new coach (Greg Williams) has been working with him trying to get him to play closer to the WR. So, if you're referencing the distance the CB's are from WR's, it seems like the CB's are the ones doing that and the coaches aren't holding them accountable for what they are "coaching".

I have never much cared for more than five yard cushions. And its' been around the Packers throughout the last three defensive coordinators.

I don't know this, but I think they were also playing off at times to try and bait them which helped with the INTs and almost INTs. Which both Douglass and Nixon should of had an INT off Douglass playing off that final Raiders TD drive but they missed. So I think it's partly them playing mind games.

Regarding cushions and playing off man.

When you are in press coverage 1-2 yards off, AND, you are in man coverage,:
- you are relatively worthless in run support because the DB has to focus all of his attention on the WR and it becomes very difficult to peak into to see what the OL is doing AND they can be run off very easily.
- It is much easier to get burned as one false step and its over

If you are in Zone, you can press and drop and still be effective in run support because you have help over the top.

Ironically, it is easier if a CB is going to jump a route, to do so 6-8 yards off

Go Packers!!!!

This topic has kind of spun off in different directions.
I'm gonna bring it back to the original topic.
The amazing thing here, and I went back and checked.
The Detroit Lions ARE THE FIRST TEAM IN HISTORY to be crowned Division Champions after FIVE weeks of the season!
Congratulations Lions, are they going to have a parade and hang a banner?

Will any of you be there?

Everybody knew going into this year, it was going to be a roller-coaster ride.

You don't like The Gm of this team, find another team.

You don't like the coaches on this team, find another team.

You don't like the talent that is on this team, find another team.

All the complaining in the world ISN'T GOING TO CHANGE A THING!

Things to remember.
The Packers don't have a 1st ballot HOF qb.......yet
The Packers don't have any elite wr's....yet.
The Packers don't have any Pro Bowl Te's.....yet.
The Packers assumptiive strengths on offense, Rb's and O-line, mostly because of injury, has not materialized.

Nobody feels sorry for The Packers, and nobody in the organization is using injuries as an excuse.
At some point, productivity is going to suffer, especially if one group is hit hard.
The silver lining IT'S STILL EARLY IN THE SEASON!

Anybody that wants to crown The Detroit Lions as Division Champions after 5 weeks, that's your choice.

Don't expect me to agree!

F-CK THE DETROIT LIONS !

GO! PACK! GO!

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Also would like to add, if anyone thinks a guy earning 35 million or more to sit on the bench would be wasting his time here, fuck them!

Sometimes getting a lot of money kills the hunger that drove the player to earn the contract received. But no one is paid to $35 million or more to sit on the bench. Unless it's one helluva doctor!!! Hahahaha
