However, unlike in most recent years, when the reigning Super Bowl champions would host the opening game of the following NFL season, it appears that the league has different plans for 2019.This will be the league’s 100th season, something that was the subject of a rather entertaining commercial during Super Bowl LIII. As a result, the league has designs on featuring its oldest rivalry instead in the opening game:In 2018, the Packers and Bears got the first Sunday Night Football game of the year in week one. That game ended up earning the NFL’s Moment of the Year in Saturday’s NFL Honors ceremony. Let’s just hope that in this coming season’s opener, Aaron Rodgers’ knee doesn’t get messed up and he can just beat the Bears normally. Of course, those two teams have played each other 198 times, including two playoff games Womens Brett Favre Jersey , which makes it the most-played rivalry in pro football. It would be a fitting start to a historic season, particularly since the Bears are coming off a division title and the Packers are hoping for a bounce-back year under new head coach Matt LaFleur.Now here are the rest of your curds for today, featuring some discussions about last night’s awful, awful Super Bowl, which saw the Patriots beat the Rams 13-3.Packers running back Aaron Jones guarantees Super Bowl berth in 2019 | Packers WireJones has seen what other running backs have done with Matt LaFleur around, and he's excited about it. He's so excited, in fact, that he indeed guaranteed that the Packers will be in next year's Super Bowl in Miami.MT5: Matt LaFleur is off and running | Packers.comPackers president/CEO Mark Murphy took some questions this week, and as usual there's not much to report. However, he does say that he's disappointed that the Packers haven't played a road game in London yet, and he expects the basic financial structure of the NFL to remain the same under the next CBA.Super Bowl 2019 results: 7 reasons that was one of the most boring ever - SBNation.comWe hope you had some good food and company last night Davon House Jersey White , because pretty much everything relating to the game itself -- except for the drama around how long the national anthem lasted -- was a dud.Sean McVay: 'I didn't do enough for us' in SB LIII loss - NFL.comAll that motion and creativity before the snap doesn't mean much if you never actually hand the football off to the motion man. Not to mention the fact that the Rams didn't convert a third down until after halftime. It was a brutal performance from everyone on the normally-explosive Rams offense, and McVay rightly takes most of the blame.Minnesotans Embrace Warm Weather In Wake Of Polar Vortex – WCCO | CBS MinnesotaI'm sure the same headline was written about Wisconsin as well. The Green Bay Packers’ defense was among the NFL’s worst at generating turnovers in 2018.Only one team had fewer interceptions than the Packers’ seven, a number that represents a huge dropoff from the 17 they had just two years earlier. Under new coordinator Mike Pettine, the Packers used primarily press-man coverage schemes, largely allowing quarterbacks to predict before the ball was snapped what they would see from the defense after.Defensive coordinators largely try to generate confusion in the offensive players, but often — especially with Pettine — the attempts are focused around disguising pass rush pressure. The defense would try to sow doubt in the heads of offensive linemen as well as the quarterback, but seemingly only in terms of where the pressure would come from.This week, ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky broke down some film from the Indianapolis Colts, whose defense has been a revelation with new personnel and a new coordinator in Matt Eberflus. The Colts, Orlovsky argues, aim to confuse the quarterback by disguising their coverages.One of the advantages of pre-snap motion Kyler Fackrell Jersey White , something that is all the rage in modern NFL offenses, is that it helps define whether the defense is in man or zone coverage. That in turn helps the quarterback determine which receivers should be open, or at least how to move through his progressions. The alignment of certain players, such as splitting a running back out wide, can also help force the defense to show its hand early.The Colts, however, are gaming the traditional system. They will show signs that they are sitting in man coverage — lining up a linebacker out wide and sending a cornerback across the formation to follow a receiver in motion — but drop back into zone coverage instead. That runs counter to what quarterbacks are taught since youth football, and it had some great results in the Wild Card round against the Houston Texans. Take a look at Orlovsky’s analysis:After watching that piece, it’s clear that one of the factors that Orlovsky mentioned is something that any defense should be able to execute: have a defensive back follow a receiver across the formation, then drop the whole unit back into zone. There may be a bit of a gap in the zone, but spacing the defenders appropriately and having enough awareness in the back seven to not leave portions of the field uncovered is something that most teams should be able to pull off.However http://www.packerslockerroom.com/authentic-justin-vogel-jersey , it’s the Darius Leonard piece who truly holds the key to this concept. Splitting a linebacker on a running back out wide then trusting that player to hold up in zone coverage is something that you can’t do with just any linebacker. Leonard is a first-team All-Pro this season precisely because he’s not your ordinary linebacker. His 40-yard dash at the 2018 Scouting Combine was a 4.70 — right at the midpoint for off-ball linebackers — but that’s deceiving because he pulled a hamstring on his only attempt and did not run at his Pro Day. He’s an excellent athlete with very good movement skills, essential qualities to playing coverage on the boundary.The Packers have two players who can play inside linebacker and who have the athleticism necessary to hold up in a similar role: Josh Jones and Oren Burks. While Burks’ snaps on defense dropped off to almost zero after week 9 against the Patriots this season, he absolutely has the physical ability to stay with running backs and receivers. His athletic testing puts him in the 82nd percentile or above in every movement drill, showing echoes of his past as a safety.Likewise, Jones finished out 2018 as a de facto linebacker, playing next to Blake Martinez with regularity while still being listed officially as a safety. His speed makes him a candidate here as well. The fact that he is classified as a defensive back may make this a bit less deceptive, but when combined with following a motion man on the other side of a formation, it still makes for a pair of signals to the offense that the defense is matched up in man.The cliche goes that the NFL is a copycat league. Since Mike Pettine has the personnel to do so, he should absolutely borrow this idea from his counterpart in Indy to help sow some seeds of doubt in opposing quarterbacks.
