Today we examine the inside linebacker group.The Green Bay Packers added four players to their inside linebacker group in the 2018 season, a group that consisted of one draft pick, one undrafted rookie, one journeyman, and one last minute veteran. All were added with specific roles in mind, and to varying degrees, they filled their roles. None stood out as stars or immediate impact players. Still, with Blake Martinez leading the NFC in tackles Cheap Elgton Jenkins Jersey , role players were pivotal.Oren BurksHow Acquired: Third-round pick in 2018 NFL Draft (No. 88 overall)2018 Stats: 24 tackles (18 solo)Burks came in with some high expectations. A third round pick is generally expected to see the field a fair amount. Burks hurt his shoulder coming out of training camp and did not get a fast start. He managed just four starts through the course of the season. He is a smaller linebacker and the hope was he could be involved in the pass game. If he can stay healthy, then he still have a chance to be a valuable player, but he has not found a way to be an every down player yet.Antonio MorrisonHow Acquired: Trade with Indianapolis Colts (Aug. 26th)2018 Stats: 48 tackles (27 solo)Morrison joined the Packers late in training camp, coming over from the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for cornerback Lenzy Pipkins. Morrison started 15 games for the Colts last year and started eight games for the Packers in 2018. He found a role as a run-stuffer in the Packers’ defense, but was not an every down player. He managed to help around the line of scrimmage and clean up plays in the run game.Korey ToomerHow Acquired: Signed as unrestricted free agent (Sept. 3)2018 Stats: 3 solo tacklesToomer was added just after final cuts for his ability to play special teams. He did see 12 snaps on the defensive side of the ball, but was mostly cast as a special teams player. He had a limited role on the team and was eventually released in late November.James CrawfordHow acquired: Undrafted rookie free agent signing2018 Stats: 9 tackles (8 solo), one fumble recoveryAfter playing in the second halves of preseason games on defense, Crawford ended up making the team thanks in large part to a dominant special teams performance in the fourth and final exhibition game. He became a core part of Ron Zook’s units, and although they were arguably the worst special teams in the league, Crawford was not necessarily a reason for it. He lined up on the field for over 70% of the team’s special teams snaps, and the front office may view him as a core special teams player moving forward into 2019. The Green Bay Packers’ season will finally come to a close on Sunday Elgton Jenkins Jersey Womens , as they host the Detroit Lions to finish out an ugly 2018 campaign. Both teams entered this season with high hopes — the Packers with a new GM and a new defensive coordinator and the Lions with a new head coach. However, both teams have scuffled and struggled mightily this season, as they sit in the bottom two slots in the NFC North. The Packers have clinched third place in the division, as even with a Detroit win on Sunday the Lions will remain a half-game back of the Packers. That means that Green Bay will face the third-place teams in both the NFC South and NFC West next season, but both of those divisions still have their final standings in question.Detroit head coach Matt Patricia may be on the hot seat already, however, after just one season. The Lions’ defense has been less then stellar, though injuries have certainly taken a toll on it. Patricia’s recent tardiness also seems unbecoming of a head coach. So keep an eye on the Lions on Black Monday, particularly if they come out looking flat at Lambeau Field this weekend.Fans outside of Wisconsin and Michigan will be mostly out of luck finding the game on local TV this week; check the broadcast map below in our Game Primer to see if your area will get this game or if you’ll need to find it at a bar or on Sunday Ticket instead.WHO?Detroit Lions (5-10) vs. Green Bay Packers (6-8-1)WHERE?Lambeau FieldGreen Bay, WisconsinWHEN?Sunday, December 30th Elgton Jenkins Green Bay Packers Jersey , 201812:00 Noon Central Time (1:00 PM Eastern)HOW?TV BroadcastPackers-Lions shown in yellow506sports.comUpdated Friday, 12/28 (Minnesota, parts of the Dakotas added)FOXLocal broadcastCommentators: Justin Kutcher, Robert Smith, Pat McAfeeRadio BroadcastPackers Radio NetworkWTMJ.com (not available on mobile)Sirius 135/99, XM 229/380ANYTHING ELSE?OddsPackers favored by 8 pointsOver/under total: 45.5All-time head-to-head recordReguar season: Packers lead 98-71-7Postseason: Packers lead 2-0Recent GamesWeek 5 2018: @Lions 31, Packers 23Week 17 2017: @Lions 35, Packers 11Week 9 2017: Lions 30, @Packers 17Current streakLions W3
