If Z returns this season, do you think he will be given a new role with less run-stopping, every-down responsibility and instead being used as more of a pure pass rusher?
Given the length of his layoff, I would imagine he'd have a limited role upon his initial return, and rushing the passer is what he does best.

We all love to talk about LaFleur's impressive record of never losing back to back games as the Packers head coach (rightfully so). There is one potential trend that causes some concern. The Packers have come out flat and lost big in both of their games following a regular season bye under LaFleur. What can the Packers do to make sure they come out strong next week and extinguish any possibility of a negative trend starting?
People need to let this bye week thing go. First, the Packers have won two home playoff games, impressively so, after bye weeks each of the last two Januarys. Second, those two losses following regular-season byes just happened to be on the road against the teams that won the NFC and the Super Bowl, respectively, those seasons. This is not some kind of trend worth discussing.

As players have stepped in to replace the injured, which do you think is happening more: Coaches re-scheming around the talents of the new guys, or the new guys slotting into the system that's already been devised? I'm sure it's a bit of both. I'm just curious what your eyes and experience are telling you. Do you have an example of where you think coaches likely game-planned to fit a newbie's skills?
I would say in general, it's more common to scheme for a substitute player on offense, while on defense, the new guy needs to fit in so as not to disrupt everyone else's roles and responsibilities. The chip-blocking and help provided Nijman in his first start (at San Francisco, vs. Nick Bosa) is an obvious example of scheming. Douglas stepping in for Yiadom after the first drive in Chicago and just balling out the rest of the day exemplifies the other.

How does news of next year's salary cap being over $208 million look for the Packers' salary-cap crunch? Projections have us way over the cap now. Was that at the current $182 million? Do you know if Russ Ball has a new pencil sharpener?
The analyses of Green Bay's overcommitments have been with a cap north of $200M, so the Packers still will have a ton of work to do in the offseason. But there's no point in thinking about that now, not with what's in front of this team.

Just read an article about non-quarterback candidates for MVP and saw Davante Adams on the list. I love the idea that he's even in the conversation. And it'd be very cool to have two MVPs on the team. And this caused me to wonder if the Packers did have two different MVPs playing together, and, looking at other teams, were there any teams that had two different MVPs as teammates?
If my crack research is accurate, this would be the list of MVP teammates, not counting players switching teams later in their careers, etc.: Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk (St. Louis), Joe Theismann and Mark Moseley (Washington), Fran Tarkenton and Alan Page (Minnesota), Earl Morrall and Johnny Unitas (Baltimore, though they both played QB), and the trio of Jim Taylor, Paul Hornung and Bart Starr (Green Bay).

If memory serves me right someone else asked the question (I think back in the Vic days) about if fans get to keep the football if players throw it into the stands. I believe the answer was yes and that the players have to pay for the ball. Any truth to that?
I believe that's still the case.

II, I'm a little concerned about Joe Barry. It seems like his defenses in the past have been mediocre as best. How do you think he'll do this year? (Sorry, this has been stuck in my outbox since March.)
