You get in front of the players, you kind of hit some of the runs that were an issue. “You come in (to the locker room), guys go to the bathroom, you discuss some things as an offensive-defensive staff. “Matt and I didn’t even talk at halftime,” Barry said, per Tom Silverstein and Ryan Wood of. But there are things we can do to try and get home with a four-man rush.”īarry, for his part, denied that the conversation happened at halftime, as was widely reported. I watched it on tape, and against one of the premier defensive lines in the game of football with the 49ers, and I thought they did a damned good job. Detroit’s got a pretty damned good offensive line, and we can’t discredit them. We have to take a good, hard look at what we ask those guys to do. “Well, I think we have enough guys up front. LaFleur pushed back when asked if this was something the Packers would just have to live with this season. So, we needed to affect the quarterback much more.” So, if you don’t get him off the spot - I’ve been around Jared, and he will be efficient. Because when we were doing out four-man rushes, and playing man coverage behind it, we weren’t hitting. One of the things that I talked to Joe about was, hey - either play coverage, or we have to pressure. “They came out ready to play, and I think we did make some necessary adjustments at halftime. “You’ve got to give Detroit a lot of credit,” LaFleur said. Head coach Matt LaFleur recently explained to local media that he had to take Barry aside and explain that Barry should pick a lane between pressure and coverage. This was amplified after Green Bay’s 35-17 Monday night win over Detroit, in which Jared Goff completed 26 of 36 passes for 246 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. When your defense allowed 23 touchdowns and had 11 interceptions through 18 games in 2020, and has already given up seven touchdowns to one interception through games against the Lions and Saints, the new guy is where you start. Joe Barry, Pettine’s replacement, has come under considerable fire, and it’s easy to understand why. The Packers currently rank 29th overall in Defensive DVOA, 26th against the run, and 25th against the pass. Through two games in the 2021 season, things are decidedly not better. So, things weren’t bad, per se, but the organization decide that things could be better.
Green Bay ranked 14th overall in Defensive DVOA, 15th against the pass, and 18th against the run. And he only caught 70 passes during his first three seasons combined.Following a 2020 season in which they made it all the way to the NFC Championship Game, and Aaron Rodgers was named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player, the Packers decided to part ways with defensive coordinator Mike Pettine. As a rookie, Jackson caught only three passes. The Packers will hope Watson can contribute more than Jackson right away.

It’s a long, arduous process, especially for a rookie receiver, but Watson is off to a strong start.īreer’s comparison for Watson was Vincent Jackson, a second-round pick from Northern Colorado who created six 1,000-yard receiving seasons and made three Pro Bowls. He needs to be at the right place at the right time on every play to earn the trust of quarterback Aaron Rodgers during training camp and get on the field during the regular season. Watson said learning the intricate details of the offense is the next step. Obviously, I still feel like I have a ways to go, but I feel like that’ll come with a couple weeks that we have off before training camp and I think I’ll be good.” “Obviously, there’s ups and downs but I definitely feel like I’ve come a long way. “I definitely think I’ve been stacking days and getting better each and every day,” Watson said, via. In a receiver room that lost Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, the Packers need Watson to hit the ground running.
