Packers Depth Chart Update: DL remains a heavy rotation

Packers Depth Chart Update: DL remains a heavy rotation

Folks, we’re rebranding. Instead of calling this series detailed snap counts, it’s going to be the Green Bay Packers’ depth chart update moving forward, as that’s probably a more accurate title. Below, we’ll go into where, why and how many times a player lined up in a certain spot for the Packers against the Arizona Cardinals.

As always, the cells below count all true football plays, including post-snap penalties and excluding kneels and spikes. The cells show how many snaps a player took at a position in each given week. Cells in yellow mean that a player dropped out of...

Mike Holmgren advances as Hall of Fame candidate

Mike Holmgren advances as Hall of Fame candidate

It’s probably not going to happen for him this year, because of Bill Belichick joining the pool of coaching candidates, but former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike Holmgren has advanced to the group of 12 for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s coaching candidates going into the next stage of Class of 2026 voting. While in Green Bay, Holmgren posted a 75-37 record from 1992 to 1998, before taking over as head coach and general manager of the Seattle Seahawks.

In Seattle, he went 86-74. In total, his teams reached three Super Bowls, one of which he won with...

Week 8 Power Rankings: Packers are winning, but analysts aren’t buying it

Week 8 Power Rankings: Packers are winning, but analysts aren’t buying it

Even though the Green Bay Packers continue to win football games to the tune of the NFC-leading record going into Week 8, national analysts don’t seem to be buying the hype around the team. In fact, in the 11 power rankings that we’ve been tracking, the Packers actually fell in 7 of them, were unmoved in 3 and only moved up in just 1.

Not enough style points for people! Let’s take a look at these rankings.

Packers Film Room: Love and LaFleur attack the middle of the field

Packers Film Room: Love and LaFleur attack the middle of the field

It wasn’t always pretty (particularly in the first half), but the Green Bay Packers pulled out an ugly victory over the Arizona Cardinals in week 7 to get to a 4-1-1 record. As we do every week, we’re taking a look at the performance of the passing game. So let’s stop talking about it and get down to doing it.

There’s nothing really flashy here in Jordan Love’s passing chart from this game. Love primarily operated in the short area of the field, and it shows up on this chart. Per NextGen, his ADOT (Average Depth Of Target) was 7.2...

Tuesday Cheese Curds – Aaron Rodgers looms, like it or not

Tuesday Cheese Curds – Aaron Rodgers looms, like it or not

Sorry, Matt LaFleur, this week’s game is at least a little bit about Aaron Rodgers.

The Packers’ head coach can downplay the fact that the guy who won four MVPs and a Super Bowl with the Packers is now on the opposing sideline, but it doesn’t detract from the significance of the matchup. Rodgers is inextricably linked to the Packers. He might be the best player to ever lace ‘em up in Green Bay. Pretending to not acknowledge his significance is stupid.

And, perhaps more importantly, Rodgers is still capable of torching teams through the air. It doesn’t matter what...

Packers Film Room: A huge 4th down conversion in Arizona

Packers Film Room: A huge 4th down conversion in Arizona

Matt LaFleur has come under fire in the last couple of years for some of his decision-making on 4th down. The Shanahan tree guys had always been more conservative on 4th down than I would have thought (given how forward-thinking they are about offensive football), but LaFleur seemed to buck that trend early on, only to become more conservative in 2023 & 2024.

If the early season returns are any indication, LaFleur may have rediscovered his aggressive ways. Against the Cardinals, LaFleur went for it on 4th down 3 times, converting 2 of them (and coming within about a foot...

The Green Bay Packers are tops in the NFC

The Green Bay Packers are tops in the NFC

After a 24-9 Detroit Lions win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Green Bay Packers hold the top seed in the NFC with a 4-1-1 record. Yes, the Packers are the only team in the conference that has only lost just once in the 2025 regular season.

Despite their flaws, the Packers have cost themselves fewer games than the rest of the NFC. We actually have to give head coach Matt LaFleur credit for the tie in Dallas in Week 4, even if you do it through gritted teeth.

Below is the full breakdown of the NFC, as it stands...

Monday Night Football, Week 7: Bucs-Lions headlines doubleheader

On Sunday afternoon, the Green Bay Packers ensured that they will hold on to a lead in the NFC North division for at least another week. Their 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals moved them to 4-1-1 on the season and will keep them no worse than the #2 seed in the NFC.

Where Green Bay sits in the seeding picture will be determined by the first of two Monday Night Football games this evening, which feature the conference’s only other one-loss team against the next-best team in the NFC North. That game has the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visiting the...

Matt LaFleur doesn’t expect Lukas Van Ness to play vs. Steelers

Matt LaFleur doesn’t expect Lukas Van Ness to play vs. Steelers

The Green Bay Packers are dealing with a couple of injuries, none bigger than the loss of defensive end Lukas Van Ness, who is dealing with a foot issue. In his Monday press conference, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said the following about Van Ness’ status going into this week’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers: “I’m not overly optimistic, but we’ll see.”

With Van Ness out, rookie defensive end Barryn Sorrell has had to pick up the pace behind Micah Parsons, Rashan Gary and Kingsley Enagbare. Sorrell is often the team’s third defensive end playing defensive tackle in the Packers’...

The Packers can swap kickers, if they really want to

The Packers can swap kickers, if they really want to

Lucas Havrisik is obviously one of the better stories of a frustrating Green Bay Packers season. Added to the roster the day before the Packers’ win over the Cincinnati Bengals, Havrisik just connected on the longest made field goal in the history of a 100-plus-year club. Mind you, he was planning on becoming a substitute teacher just days before.

So now Packers fans are wondering: Can the team actually keep Havrisik, despite Brandon McManus’ extension? The answer is yes, depending on how badly they actually want to make the move.

McManus signed a three-year, $15.3 million deal this offseason that...

The Packers didn’t want Josh Jacobs to play vs. the Cardinals

The Packers didn’t want Josh Jacobs to play vs. the Cardinals

On Saturday night, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs, who was dealing with an illness and a calf strain, was a “true game-time decision” against the Arizona Cardinals. This was backed by the Packers’ roster moves on Saturday, where they called up running back Pierre Strong Jr. to the gameday roster for the first time in 2025.

According to Jacobs himself, the Packers didn’t want the All-Pro to suit up against Arizona. Here’s what Matt Schneidman of The Athletic wrote in a recent article:

Jacobs said the team didn’t really want him to...

Packers’ Nate Hobbs conceded the 2nd most yards in the NFL in Week 7

Packers’ Nate Hobbs conceded the 2nd most yards in the NFL in Week 7

To say the least, the Green Bay Packers’ plan of signing Nate Hobbs, paying him like a slot defender and hoping that he could develop into outside cornerback is not exactly working out so far. Just in case you thought you were hallucinating yesterday’s performance against the Arizona Cardinals, I decided to look at the numbers.

According to NFL Pro, the league’s player tracking service, Hobbs allowed the second-most yards of any outside cornerback in the Week 7 slate. The only player who bested him was Minnesota’s Isaiah Rodgers, who allowed 157 yards in the air on just 25 coverage...
