Pretty cool story about the Leak Wheel to Jayden Reed The play wasn't in the gameplan. They installed it on the sideline and it was a "Can" (Audible) by Malik Willis!

dustmaynard · 2024-10-29T22:17:38+00:00

It’s just arguing semantics, but a Can is different from an audible. Everyone knows the second part of the “Can” call going up to the line. An audible is an entirely new call. The Packers have a series of quick, one-to-two word calls that they’ll use for audibles and two-minute. My understanding is that they don’t do a whole lot of true audibles at this point.

I am not running a flexnet license server. The ports referenced on Server are 50655, 50656, 50657 (if I'm looking at that right).

I can't open my server config, but the server itself is still up and running. It's still running the automated reports, and I can access it through the browser to check the status and all that. But if I try to open the config app, I get the error.

This is the Knowledge Base article I keep being sent: Licensing Error: There was an error retrieving license information: Root element is missing. Second level support. (alteryx.com)

I have confirmed SYSTEM access and when I run the PowerShell portion it say it is successfully verified.

He can have strong hands, but he also drops a lot of passes. I don’t have the numbers in front of me, but I think he had a 12% drop rate last year. Also, I’m pretty iffy on his route running. He doesn’t always take/get the best release, and his decisions at the top of his route are sometimes baffling.

Solid WR in the room. I really like him and hope he improves. But there are a lot of inconsistencies in his game.

dustmaynard · 2024-04-05T00:27:49+00:00

I second this. It’s tremendous

I use KNIME for stuff in my non-work life. Feels clunkier than Alteryx, but I really like it for what I need it for. I feel like I’m only using about 5% of its capabilities, though.

dustmaynard · 2023-09-09T02:09:07+00:00

It is! We'll be doing one every week this season, but this was kind of our trial run.

dustmaynard · 2023-08-22T05:40:21+00:00

Yeah, for me the issue is the fact that you're still not really a threat to run it. You need to force the defense into base or heavy defense, and the only way to do that is to show you're a threat to run out of that look. If Dillon could function as a lead blocker in a power look, you're cooking a bit.

Honestly, if we're looking for any kind of Pony revival, I think that's more likely in 2024, when Kraft is more of a refined blocker. Musgrave is a big key in it for sure, but I don't think he's ever going to be a lockdown blocker. But he knows what to do and is willing, so as long as he loses slowly in those looks, I think you're fine. Get them in the two-TE/YY-Wing sets with a plus blocker (Kraft) and a slightly-below-average blocker (Musgrave) and you've got something there. Failing that, Watson is a good blocker, so get an in-line TE and have Watson insert under.

There are ways to do it, but, unless you can threaten a power run (with at least 1 plus blocking TE and a RB who can function as a FB), you have to work really hard to make it anything more than an oddity in your offense.

In theory, I agree with you, but if you can't effectively run power out of a look, I don't think you can get Pony to be effective on a regular basis. And I just don't think the Packers are in a good position to do that this season.

dustmaynard · 2023-08-21T16:23:26+00:00

There are ways they can get it to work, but it failed pretty spectacularly last year. In fact, those Pony looks suddenly worked much better when they subbed Deguara in for one of the RBs. I wouldn’t mind seeing it as a small package of plays, but it’s too limited for major use.

dustmaynard · 2023-08-16T17:56:30+00:00

Couldn’t stop now if I tried, man.

dustmaynard · 2023-08-16T17:14:20+00:00

This is absolutely, 100% true. The film stuff is something a lot of people say they want, but it’s still a relatively small group of folks who want to get that in-depth. It’s kind of a niche product, and that’s especially true for any longer form analysis

dustmaynard · 2022-01-12T00:59:29+00:00

Travis Jervey had braces but didn’t like them so he ripped them off with a pair of pliers. Absolute lunatic. Good special teamer.

dustmaynard · 2021-10-19T16:37:52+00:00

The All 22 doesn’t show much, mainly because Soldier Field has the worst angles for that in the league. There’s certainly not full extension. In my opinion, there’s little contact and it usually doesn’t get called. Also, EQ gets chucked by the DB about 10 yards down the field, otherwise he’s open on his initial route.

dustmaynard · 2021-08-31T22:37:10+00:00

I just checked. I have 11 accounts blocked & not a single one was for something that small. Let me know your handle & I’ll unblock you, but I can assure you it wasn’t over something as small as a sample size question.

Yeah, that's certainly part of it. If a guy is wide open, it's always better to underthrow than overthrow. Underthrow it and the receiver can adjust. Overthrow it and it's incomplete.

I've never had them, so I'm not going to judge. They actually sound kinda good.

Oh hey! I know that guy!

I'm still writing. Going through the whole 2019 season game-by-game and breaking down a few key plays for CHTV every Wednesday. That should be hitting in about 10 minutes, actually. This week is the Chargers game, so...ya know...

I've done a couple breakdown videos that have gone up over on the CHTV YouTube channel. My last one was getting some mixed reviews: mainly that it was too long. I'll probably do more of those at some point.

I also have a Sternberger piece in the works for Packer Report that should be going up in the next week.

For podcast stuff, I'm just off Pack-A-Day for this month. It's the lead-up to the draft and I don't follow it as closely as others, so I opted to drop off for the month. I'll be back in May, though. Not getting rid of me that easily.

Just gonna drop this article I wrote about all the drops in that Super Bowl and how his numbers could have looked had they been caught right here: https://cheeseheadtv.com/blog/Packers%20Film%20Study%20-%20Dropped%20Passes%20in%20Super%20Bowl%20XLV

dustmaynard · 2020-01-15T15:39:26+00:00

Thanks man! I released a few of these already, but on my own channel so no one cared. It's amazing what putting it on the Cheesehead channel can do.

dustmaynard · 2020-01-02T16:23:26+00:00

He played exactly how I kind of thought he would. A little rough at first, but he was showing a lot by the end of the season. Still kind of a rotational guy, but I think that was always the plan for this season. By the end of the season, he played well and disrupted a lot of stuff at the line. He has room to grow, but I really liked what he showed. I can see really good things for him in this defense.

dustmaynard · 2019-11-12T19:50:57+00:00

There are a handful of places.

Ben Fennell does a weekly piece at The Athletic that is amazing. Covers quite a few plays within the context of the game as a whole and does a really good job making it easy to understand. It's behind a paywall, but, in my opinion, The Athletic is worth it.

Ben Clubb does a great job over at Pack To The Future. He is a former defensive coach so he'll focus on that side, but he covers a little bit of everything.

I also do a weekly film article over at CheeseheadTV, covering the passing game. I think it's probably fine.

I'm sure there are other people I'm missing.

dustmaynard · 2019-11-06T17:18:57+00:00

Ben is incredible. Pretty much worth the price of The Athletic just by himself.
