Our defense usually takes three to five games to get going. They did this knowing Rodgers will have a field day unless the pass rush can get home early and often. We haven’t played the packers early in season and won in recent years but playing them later in the season we have won.

Decent enough signing. Hopefully he gets it done.

I can see the Saints needing to abandon man to man coverage and go cover 2 zone to try and mask potential weakness on the opposite side of ML.

We at least had Curtis Lofton for a while, who wasn't too bad.

We have Kris Richard on our side so I trust he’ll do the right thing with the secondary.

Remember that old quote from Parcells …”I won’t throw a player to the wolves unless I know he has a little wolf in him “. Maybe Adebo is that dude.
That video of Paulson Adebo on that hotel balcony, howling let's...goooooo!!!, is still playing in the loop...

Yeah, it was borderline in my mind, but now that you were first to call it, I'd second say he was a solid backer for us...

Best I've seen on the Packers is that teams that have a really good CB1 match him man v man against Adams, and then zone on the others, with cover 1...

And a zoned pass rush to keep Rodgers from ripping runs will frustrate the heck out of him; pressure in his face and at his feet will win the day...
