Will the Packer's Defense Bounce Back Sunday Against the Saints?


            Is the Green Bay Packer’s defense ready to bounce back on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints?

            They better be, especially after the performance last week against the Atlanta Falcons. But after looking at this Saints team and their position, I believe this game is the perfect get-right game for the Packers.

            Saints star running back Alvin Kamara is currently serving a suspension from the league due to some off-the-field issues and the back-up former Packer Jamal Williams got injured on Monday night against the Panthers. This should serve as nothing but good news to Packer fans, especially after the defense struggled to stop the run in Atlanta.

            At the helm of the offense is Derek Carr who was benched at the end of the 2022 season for the Las Vegas Raiders after finally being reconnected with his old college teammate, Davante Adams. But this is a new season for Carr and this game may present him with a lot more opportunities to throw the football, especially since the first and second-string running backs are not playing.

            The Saints have a young star in Chris Olave who is expected to put up big numbers this year alongside veteran Michael Thomas who has battled a ton of injuries to get back to playing status after leading the NFL in receiving yards in 2019. Both receivers have high potential, but the Packers secondary is going to be looking for blood on Sunday after they struggled against Atlanta, specifically star cornerback Jaire Alexander.

The strength of the Packer's edge rushers in combination with the star corners is a recipe for disaster for the Saint's offense. With Derek Carr making more throws than normal I am more than confident the Packer's defense can get stops and create turnovers. The middle of the field is no free area either with Quay Walker and De'Vondre Campbell filling the gaps. Walker is off to a great sophomore start and could be up for another big game against the Saints.

If Joe Barry is up for a get-right game with his defensive unit, the Packer’s home opener could get ugly pretty early for the visiting New Orleans squad.

The Injury Bug is Bad in Green Bay

  The Injury Bug is Bad in Green Bay                It’s early, but through four games the Packers have had multiple injuries that have hurt them early this 2023 NFL season.             For starters, the loss of David Bakhtiari to IR is a killer. Unfortunately, most Packer fans could see it coming from a mile away. His injury at the end of the 2020 season seems to be a career killer to what could have been a clear-cut hall-of-fame career.             Other offensive line injuries have hurt the Packers as well, Elgton Jenkins is expected to miss a few games with a knee injury after exiting week 2 against Atlanta. Zach Tom, who has performed well for the Packers early, is also dealing with a knee injury. These injuries are another indicator as to why the Packers have struggled to run the football early. Of course, Aaron Jones playing only one full game hurts, but these offensive line injuries need to end quickly if the Packers expect to win more games. Continuing with the offense, Christ

(Photo via Evan Siegle on packers.com)             I have two words for you…Jayden Reed!             What an impressive performance from the green and gold in primetime against the Vikings. They dominated in every aspect of this game as they should’ve. Jayden Reed is easily the steal of the draft this season and this game proved it even more. The connection between Love and Reed is something special, and the future looks very bright for the Packers. . @jordan3love ➡️ @JaydenReed5 for the TD! #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/8QRr5RCyv7 — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 THAT'S A @jordan3love TD! 🏃💨 #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/mnNyZGdKJO — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 ANOTHER @JaydenReed5 TD! #GBvsMIN | #GoPackGo 📺: NBC pic.twitter.com/FT58FpKFbq — Green Bay Packers (@packers) January 1, 2024 Capping off a 91-yard drive!

Packers vs. 49ers Preview: Prepare for a Matt LaFleur Masterclass

Image
  Can the Green Bay Packers do it again? Can they shock the entire nation by beating the San Francisco 49ers at home? It’s going to be a tall task and a lot of things are going to need to go their way. However, as we’ve seen this season, any team is beatable.             The 49ers are an absolute wagon and as of recent history, they’ve dominated the Packers in the playoffs. However, we’re not here to dwell on the past, we’re here looking forward to the future as the Packers themselves have done this season. They battled back from a 3-6 record and are now one of the hottest teams in the NFL following their 4 th  win in a row against the Dallas Cowboys last weekend. The Packers are 0-4 in their last four playoff games against the 49ers. Aaron Jones: "It's not about the past. It's about the future and what we're about to do right now." pic.twitter.com/eoQfRXlx9g — Adriana Torres (@TorresAdrianaTV) January 18, 2024             I could say the Packers don’t have a sho
