Film Room: GB’s RUN DEFENSE

[ellis]

Tonight, it’s all about that Green Bay run defense. Carolina’s commitment to the running game is impressive. This week, it should serve as a useful tool in a cold, windy, hostile environment. 

Here’s a look at the Packers against the run, and what Carolina should do to attack it.

This part of the game should be absolutely dominated by Carolina. There are no excuses.

Well done!!!   We need to run the rock and keep the ball out of Rodgers hands and we have a chance.  
I heard a couple podcast guys from GB talking about their run defense and how bad it is right now.  
Win in the frozen tundra could do wonders for the season.

Great insight they gave.

Hope the cats are reading it.

 

Go Panthers!!!

Bottom line: Carolina’s defense is built for teams that pass the ball over 40 times in a game. They built it that way, in part, to counter the NFC South’s offensive firepower. Well, that didn’t exactly pan out in the division this year, but this is the type a game where Ron’s defensive structure and schematics could prove highly valuable. 
 

That’s why I’m putting so much emphasis on the running game. It will loosen up the entire offense, and will force these guys down into the box. When you are averaging 5.1 yards per carry, and your opponent is giving up almost that much per rush, you don’t screw around and get cute. Pound it, get an early lead, and play your brand of defense. The less I have to hear Kyle Allen’s name called on Sunday, probably the better. The conditions don’t seem conducive for a 35 pass type of game.

I'm just hoping guys not named McCaffrey actually get some meaningful carries. If there's a game where you want those guys to help contribute and keep McCaffrey nice and fresh, it's this one.

Play action EVERY first down after we establish a run game! lol

Great analysis! Thanks again for sharing it with us! Keep up the good work!

You'd think Green Bay is thoroughly aware their run defense is bad and they will do everything in their power to shut down McCaffrey and make Kyle Allen beat them. I hope Norv has drawn up some misdirection plays to fool the defense. I'm hoping for a big game from Olsen.

Statistically the Panthers allow even more rushing yards per game than the Packers do.

Getting Addison back is going to be huge. I feel he's going to play his heart out and probably have a 3 sack game.

Hoping for this as well. Balling out is a great way to work through grief.
