Through six games
Marwin Evans Jersey White , Davante Adams’ receiving numbers are backing up the big contract that the team gave him last December. Adams, who signed a
four-year contract extension worth $19.5 million per season, became the
ninth-highest-paid wide receiver in the NFL based on per-year average.But for
now, the Packers’ unquestioned top receiver is playing like a top-five wideout
in the NFL, and he’s threatening to not just break, but shatter a team record
set 25 years ago.In Monday’s thrilling 33-30 victory over the San Francisco
49ers, Adams was targeted 16 times and caught ten balls for 132 yards and a pair
of touchdowns. That takes Adams’ totals up to 47 receptions, 557 yards, and six
scores on the season.Projecting these numbers out to a full 16-game season would
not just get Adams his first 1,000-yard year, but would put him close to 1,500
yards — 1,485 to be exact. That yardage total would put Adams in third place
all-time in Packers history, trailing only Jordy Nelson’s stellar 2014 season
(1,519 yards, coincidentally coming in Adams’ rookie year) and Robert Brooks’
1995 season (1,497 yards).But those reception totals? That’s a pace we haven’t
seen in from a Packers receiver ever. 47 catches through six games projects out
to 125 catches over an entire season, which would shatter Sterling Sharpe’s team
record of 112, set in 1993. Also impressive is the fact that Adams is catching
just shy of 2?? of his targets, with a catch rate of 66.2%. Among the team’s top
ten reception seasons (since targets were first tallied), only Sharpe’s 1992 and
Randall Cobb’s 2014 feature higher catch rates.As for Adams’ ability to stack up
across the league? He currently sits third in receptions behind Minnesota’s Adam
Thielen (58) and Philadelphia’s Zach Ertz (48), and ranks sixth in receiving
yardage. His two scores pulled him into a five-way tie for receiving touchdowns,
however.To make a long story short
http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-oren-burks-jersey , Adams is threatening to do something that no Packer has ever done before, and
he’s putting up his best numbers while his veteran counterparts, Geronimo
Allison and Randall Cobb, are out of the lineup. It’s been a heck of a start for
#17, and there are no signs of him slowing down.Packers Week 4 Snap Counts:
Whitehead is becoming a key player, MVS fills in for Cobb The Green Bay Packers’
offense did not look particularly sharp in their 22-0 victory over the Buffalo
Bills on Sunday, but there are reasons for optimism moving forward. It appears
that the unit has found its #4 wide receiver, as rookie Marquez Valdes-Scantling
stepped up his snap count with Randall Cobb inactive for the game. He may have
only caught one pass, but it was indicative of his impressive skill set and will
hopefully earn him some more opportunities in the future.Meanwhile, with a bit
of a banged-up cornerback group, the Packers turned to defensive back Jermaine
Whitehead for a hefty number of snaps on Sunday, particularly with him lined up
as a slot corner. Whitehead has continually increased his role on this defense
and is starting to play a role similar to the one Micah Hyde had in Green Bay —
part safety, part slot corner, and occasional dime linebacker. That versatility
should continue to get him on the field even as Josh Jones has returned from
injury.Here’s a look at the playing time from Sunday.OFFENSE (76
plays)QuarterbackAaron Rodgers 76Once again, Rodgers looked a bit improved over
the previous week in terms of his mobility. He ended up finishing the game with
five rushes for 31 yards, including a long of 15. He appears to be feeling
better with the knee, or at least it is not giving him too much trouble when he
moves around in and out of the pocket.As far as his passing numbers, Rodgers was
pedestrian by his standards, missing a few throws that he typically makes in his
sleep. He finished the game just 22 for 40, with 298 yards, one touchdown, and
one interception. That was good for a passer rating of just 76.9.Running
BacksAaron Jones 29, Jamaal Williams 28
Vince Biegel Jersey White , Ty Montgomery 20Sure, Jones got the plurality of the snaps among the three backs, but Packers fans continue to clamor for more
snaps and carries for the Packers’ most elusive runner. Jones carried the ball
11 times for 65 yards and a score, adding one catch for 17 yards on a screen
pass. By contrast, Williams also had 11 carries, but had less than half of
Jones’ yardage with 27. Montgomery’s big play was in the passing game on a wheel
route that went for 43 yards.Wide ReceiversDavante Adams 76, Geronimo Allison
56, Marquez Valdes-Scantling 54, J’Mon Moore 11With Randall Cobb out, MVS got
the start and clearly demonstrated that he is the #4 receiver at this point. The
Packers used Adams in the slot a lot, and he finished the game with eight grabs
on 14 targets for 81 yards. Allison fought through a couple of ugly drops but
racked up 80 yards on six catches. MVS’ only catch was a gorgeous out-and-up
route for a 38-yard gain. However, he drew Rodgers’ ire when failing to come
back and attack the football on a short route that was a dropped pick-six.
Meanwhile, Moore played sparingly, only seeing the field for a snap or two prior
to Allison leaving the field with a possible concussion.Tight EndsJimmy Graham
54, Lance Kendricks 35, Marcedes Lewis 17With no Cobb, the Packers finally did
use a little more 12 personnel, but they largely did so with Kendricks lined up
in the backfield as a fullback — or motioning him into that alignment. He had
another bad drop on a target that should have gone for a first down, ending the
day with one catch for five yards. Graham finally found the end zone on a short
pass into the flat, and he caught half of his six targets for 21 yards. Lewis
was not targeted all day.Offensive LinemenDavid Bakhtiari 76, Lane Taylor 76,
Corey Linsley 76, Byron Bell 76
Womens Demetri Goodson Jersey , Bryan Bulaga 76The line did a largely marvelous job against a fearsome Bills pass rush that obliterated the Vikings’
line a week earlier. Bakhtiari in particular shut down Jerry Hughes’ pass rush
moves, holding him without a sack and largely without pressuring Rodgers. The
rest of the unit held up well also, despite missing starting right guard Justin
McCray.DEFENSE (58 plays)Defensive LinemenKenny Clark 47, Dean Lowry 36, Mike
Daniels 35, Montravius Adams 5If Clark isn’t a Pro Bowler this year, there’s
something wrong with the system. He had another stellar game, including a forced
fumble and recovery on a Josh Allen scramble. Lowry was active in the run game,
while Daniels was his typical pocket-collapsing force. For one Sunday at least,
this unit did not seem to miss Muhammad Wilkerson.Outside LinebackersClay
Matthews 37, Nick Perry 33, Kyler Fackrell 26, Reggie Gilbert 25For all the heat
that Fackrell takes from Packers fans, he earned one of our game balls this week
for a stellar performance. His three sacks on Sunday now give him the team lead
ahead of Perry and Gilbert, who each have 1.5. Two of those came in the last
three plays of the game with Buffalo trying to get on the board.It was really
the best performance from this group as a unit all season, though, as every one
of these four players recorded at least a half-sack. Matthews led the way with
five total tackles.Inside LinebackersBlake Martinez 58, Oren Burks 20, Antonio
Morrison 10, Korey Toomer 3, James Crawford 1As usual, Martinez led the team in
tackles with nine, including one of the team’s seven sacks plus another tackle
for loss against the run and a second hit on Allen. Burks pitched in with three
tackles on defense (plus one on special teams). The plan looks to be to continue
bringing Burks along gradually
http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-davon-house-jersey , but expect him to continue to get more snaps as the season goes
along.SafetiesKentrell Brice 58, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix 58, Jermaine Whitehead
39Notable in his absence from this list is Josh Jones, who played only on
special teams (16 snaps) in his season debut. Instead, the Packers used a lot of
Whitehead as a slot cornerback, particularly when rookie cornerback Jaire
Alexander missed time with a groin issue. Whitehead responded well, with his
lone tackle coming on a sack of Allen on a blitz from the slot.Clinton-Dix had
an excellent game on Sunday, and he made one of the better plays in his career
on his interception. He was aggressive in diagnosing a throw by Allen towards
the sideline and attacked the football, coming up with the pick. Brice only had
a pair of tackles, but one was a key stop in the run game on a third-and-short
on the first drive of the game.CornerbacksTramon Williams 58, Josh Jackson 49,
Jaire Alexander 37, Tony Brown 3Alexander left for a period of time late in the
game, but he was having a stellar contest and he recorded his first interception
(that counts) late in the first half on a desperation heave by Allen. According
to Pro Football Focus, Alexander was trageted seven times in coverage but
allowed just one reception for a passer rating against of 7.7.When Alexander
left the game, Jackson shifted out to the boundary from the slot. He struggled a
bit in this contest, getting flagged twice for facemask penalties. Still, he had
a pair of pass breakups, including one marvelous play late in the first half
along the right sideline.
