Through the last three drafts White Ka'dar Hollman Jersey , the Packers significantly upgraded the speed on the back end of the defense."In recent years, the Green Bay Packers have seen their secondary get burned with regularity. After a 5th-place ranking in defensive passing DVOA in 2015, the team followed that up with finishes of 23rd, 27th, and 28th in the past three years.One plausible reason for these issues is a general lack of speed on the back end of the defense. However, since the 2017 NFL Draft, the Packers have drastically improved the raw straight-line speed of the player most responsible for pass coverage. Prior to that year’s draft, the average 40-yard dash time of the Packers’ cornerbacks was 4.50 seconds. Now, the unit’s average 40 has dropped to just under 4.43 Adrian Amos Jersey , and there are four players who ran 4.40 or under compared to just one before the 2017 draft. At safety, the overall average 40 has dropped slightly as well, from 4.50 to 4.48, but there are two players now running 4.41 or less compared to none prior to the 2017 draft.Take a look at the numbers below. Here are the recorded 40 times for the current members of the Packers’ secondary:Cornerbacks (average 40: 4.426)Jaire Alexander: 4.38Kevin King: 4.43Josh Jackson: 4.48Tramon Williams: 4.57*Tony Brown: 4.35Ka’Dar Hollman: 4.37*Natrell Jamerson: 4.40Will Redmond: N/ASafeties (average 40: 4.480)Adrian Amos: 4.56Darnell Savage: 4.36Josh Jones: 4.41Raven Greene: 4.51*Tray Matthews: 4.56Jason Thompson: N/ANow take a look at the numbers for the players on the roster prior to the 2017 NFL Draft:Cornerbacks (average 40: 4.498)Damarious Randall: 4.46Davon House: 4.44Quinten Rollins: 4.57Ladarius Gunter: 4.69Josh Hawkins: 4.39*Demetri Goodson: 4.44Safeties (average 40: 4.502)Morgan Burnett: 4.51*Ha Ha Clinton-Dix: 4.50Kentrell Brice: 4.44Marwin Evans: 4.47Jermaine Whitehead: 4.59* indicates number reported from players’ Pro Day rather than NFL CombineIt’s easy to see that improving team speed became a bit of a focus in 2017. That year, King and Jones were the team’s first two draft picks, both running in the low 4.4s. Jaire Alexander and Josh Jackson were picks in 2018, and both Brown and Jamerson were additions from other teams. Now this season, the team added another pair of sub-4.4 athletes in the draft in Savage and Hollman.Not only is the overall speed of the units better, but that of the starters in particular has improved Billy Turner Jersey , thanks primarily to the team’s high draft picks. In that 2017 offseason, the Packers had just finished up a year that saw Ladarius Gunter and his 4.69 40 time finishing the year as the starter. Now the team has Jaire Alexander and Kevin King in the starting lineup instead. Adrian Amos won’t blow anyone away with his speed, but the pairing of the steadier Amos with terrific athletes in Savage and Jones should prove productive.While the Packers have always tried to find excellent overall athletes in the NFL Draft, the focus on pure speed is finally becoming razor-sharp. Hopefully that — in combination with a revived pass rush — will prove to be a drastic improvement in the team’s overall success defending the pass in 2019.

He’s taken shots publicly from former teammates and anonymous sources. He’s had to learn a new offense for the first time in 13 years and many wondered how willing he’d be in doing so. He, ahem, “chugged” beer at a Milwaukee Bucks playoff game and saw that skill surpassed by other NFL quarterbacks. Now, as the calendar creeps towards July and the start of training camp, Rodgers can get back to what he does best: throwing passes as the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers. All eyes are now fully fixed on him to deliver results now that he has both a new general manager and a new head coach. The excuses are gone for Rodgers. Now it’s time to deliver.Thankfully by reading between the lines, it seems Rodgers is ready to just do that.The quarterback’s excitement about what new coach Matt LaFleur’s offense is capable of was palpable in Rodgers’ meetings with the media during OTAs and mini-camp. Being the “body language police” is always a little foolish Za’Darius Smith Jersey , but Rodgers genuinely seems refreshed with the new offense even if he fully doesn’t have a grasp on it yet and given how much his abilities have been questioned this spring, Rodgers now likely has a giant chip on his shoulder again.That’s bad news for the rest of the NFL. There’s more on what Rodgers has been up to and what he sees from the new offense in today’s cheese curds.Aaron Rodgers sees new offense fitting Jimmy Graham—Packers.comJimmy Graham’s performance last season was on the of the biggest disappointments of a lost season for the Packers. Some attributed that to former coach Mike McCarthy not knowing how to utilize Graham’s skills and now Rodgers thinks Graham can excel in LaFleur’s offense.200 targets for Davante Adams? That might be Aaron Rodgers’ dream—ESPNDavante Adams is good enough that he warrants 200 targets but LaFleur’s offense, based off the Kyle Shanahan/Sean McVay system, hasn’t really allowed a receiver to be thrown the ball that much as our Jason B. Hirschhorn notes. This likely is just Rodgers speaking in hyperbole.
