NFL: Packers vs.

The NFL has already reached Week 4!Let’s go to Green Bay, where Packers Division rival receives Chicago.The Packers again put a lot of strain on Aaron Rodgers’ shoulders during the first three weeks due to injury – now there is a very complicated test waiting.Chicago’s offense on the other hand comes along with a slightly different approach, there’s the game to watch at night on Friday night live on DAZN!

Some changes, turning a few screws and then back to the playoffs – that’s about the working title over the packer’s off-season.The defense was to be significantly improved in the secondary, offensively more balance was urgently needed.In other words, the Packers wanted to take advantage of the bonus of having a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers by giving A-Rod a little more relief.

This proved to be particularly difficult on the offensive.Because the offensive line stays on the line and Ty Montgomery (3 yards per run) doesn’t work very efficiently in the run game.But also because Tight End Martellus Bennett is not yet the big factor that one would have expected from an external view schematically and individually.

“I think it was above all – surprising is not the right word, I would say inspiring to see how he behaves and what kind of player he is.”

Reason for optimism: In addition to Bulaga, Bakhtiari also trained again during the week, at least to a limited extent, and could return.Randall Cobb, who recently had to watch because of a chest injury, is also “optimistic”that he will be able to compete against Chicago at Evergreen.Already on Tuesday Cobb was training again.

The packers were also defensively plagued by failures, which led to holes in the run defense.Cornerback Of which House will probably have to fit again, but the main question will be how to cope with Chicago’s Run Game in the personnel packages of the packers, which are mainly designed for speed.

Rodgers, who asked the fans to join the protest during the anthem, knows that there is a complicated test waiting for this Bears team:”They have a hell of a good front seven,”he stressed during the week.Akiem Hicks, Eddie Goldman, Leonard Floyd, Danny Trevathan and Co.Atlanta and Pittsburgh have been making life difficult for the first three weeks already, the cause of the blowout bankruptcy in Tampa was rather the inferiority of their own offences against the Bucs Defense.

On the other side of the ball, Chicago dares to take a slightly different turn in the time of versatile wide receivers, spread formations, 4 receiver sets and the general dominance of the passing game.Of Glennon’s 72 completions this season, only 27 ended up on a wide receiver; so far, no Bears Wide receiver has recorded a catch of more than 20 yards.One could argue that her role as a run-blocker is currently more important than that of the passers-by.

Obviously, this was not planned in this extremity, but the injuries of Kevin White and Cameron Meredith forced Chicago to become inventive – a wide receiver corps, already thin and with many question marks, lost its two best players.Not that the Bears would otherwise have been an aggressive passing offense.At least the balance would have looked a little different.

But that’s how Glennon himself benefits, who continues to take the lead over Mitch Trubisky, and coach John Fox made it clear after his victory over Pittsburgh:”I don’t believe in ugly victories – you do what it takes to win.”No one can take away your victories.”

And currently the Bears are doing this “do what it takes to win”, not badly.It should not be forgotten that Chicago would presumably have been beaten Atlanta and Pittsburgh in 2-1, if Jordan Howard hadn’t dropped the final pass in a duel with the Falcons.However, critical question marks are still standing behind Right Guard Josh Sitton and Center Hroniss Grasu’s bets, and Chicago cannot do without them in this game.All the less if Green Bay’s Mike Daniels returns.
