With regard to cutting and signing players during training camp, does the personnel dept have all 90/91 players rated just like a draft board and then when they sign someone new, No. 91 gets cut? It seems so often they sign a WR, QB or someone else but the cut comes from another position. It doesn't seem to be too often that they cut from the same position and the new signee.
I doubt they're numbered specifically as such, but players are rated based on their chances of making the team at their position or sticking on the practice squad, and the personnel department acts accordingly. Multiple readers have asked about the sudden influx of centers and what that means. I'm not sure. The Packers could be looking to improve their depth at that spot, or they're just taking a look a promising players they might like to develop, regardless of position.

Jaire Alexander vs. Christian Watson. During the season, when a CB prepares for receivers from a different team, does he have access to isolated (close-up) views to see how the receiver runs, cuts, or makes breaks on different routes? What does he use to get an edge?
He's got access to the same film the other guy does – all-22 and TV copies.

I understand not wanting to give up big plays, but I think coaches play it too safe sometimes. I've seen on numerous occasions where a defense shut down an offense for most of the game, only to go into soft coverage and give up points fairly quickly. I don't understand the mindset of giving up yards for free to prevent a big play. In my opinion, that's not playing to win, but playing not to lose.
Many believe that and view it that way. I understand the argument and mentality. But I also understand the statistics that show the significantly higher percentage of drives that result in points when one gain of 20-plus yards is allowed, as opposed to the higher frequency of stops when no explosive play occurs.

I think Ja confirmed last year he was buckling a seatbelt.
Correct, and the gesture represents being "locked in."

When the team is competing against itself in 11-on-11 periods and the defense keeps winning, does that say to you the defense is really good and the offense not so much? Or is it more nuanced than that? Would love to get your thoughts after seeing some of the 11-on-11 periods. Thanks guys.
The offense has had its moments. The unit has executed several sharp-looking plays, and been just a hair off on others. So I'd question the accuracy of any narrative that says the defense has dominated day after day. But when it's been a more game-like "move the ball" or two-minute period, which have been the featured competitive segments with calisthenic consequences, the defense has gotten a stop the majority of the time.

Hi guys. As I follow news from offseason and training camp, because of the no-tackling policy, it appears that the run game practice isn't something that is a "threat" for the defense. Does this allow the defense to simply key on passing more, creating another disadvantage for the offense?
Players still must execute their run-defense responsibilities. The film the coaches are watching doesn't lie.

If you are a GM for a day, do you pick the guy who checks all of the physical boxes but doesn't love the game, or the guy who has less ability but will run through a wall for you? And what percentage of players do you think match the don't love the game description and are only in for the paycheck?
I'd have no way to put a percentage on it, but I can guarantee you that's one of many factors in the constant roster turnover that exists in this league. This game is physically brutal, and the effort required to play it (and prepare to play it) is incredibly taxing. If you don't love it, you will not last. As a GM looking for long-term upside, the best move is to take the guy who loves the game.

What's one 2023 season storyline for each of our North rivals?
Minnesota: Can the division champs repeat despite so many personnel changes? Chicago: Can Justin Fields take the next step? Detroit: Will Jared Goff prove the Lions right? (Alternative: Will Dan Campbell bring a pet lion out of the tunnel anyway?)

Hey guys, could you detail what a canned play is for us? I've seen it used often over time and can't tell just from how it's used exactly what it is. Thanks.
When the play call includes a second play, allowing the QB to choose which to run based on the defensive look, the QB might "can" one play in favor of the other, as in throw it in the trash can. Often when the QB raises both hands up to his ears (like he's putting on headphones or something), that's the signal the original play is being "canned" for the optional call.

Out of all the offseason player moves, what intrigues you the most?
Aside from the draft? It's whether the approach at safety will work. As I noted earlier this week, the Packers are counting on competition and upside to replace a reliable veteran (Amos). They brought in young additions with experience as starters elsewhere ( Tarvarius Moore, Jonathan Owens) to compete with one of their own in the same category (Rudy Ford) to see who makes for Darnell Savage's best partner. It's a bit of a gamble, because nobody's a proven commodity like Amos, and there's curiosity as to whether the competition will truly push someone to play his best football to date. It could also pay off nicely. We'll have to see.

Thoughts about how Bo Melton is doing so far. Really came in late last season but feel he is a great addition and can be used in multiple positions.
He's had a good week and is giving himself a chance. As Wes pointed out in "Three Things," he showed some gumption bouncing back from a bad drop in 11-on-11 and making multiple key catches the rest of practice.
