Green Bay Packers: 3 Most Disappointing Players at the Bye
By Paul Bretl
Through the Green Bay Packers’ first four games of the regular season, these three players, in particular, have underwhelmed the most.
Unlike in recent seasons, trying to pick out who has been disappointing for this Green Bay Packers team at the bye has been quite difficult. Through their first four games, Green Bay has cruised to four relatively easy victories, and to put it simply, the offense is rolling.
Offensively, the Packers have been nearly flawless. Aaron Rodgers is playing like an MVP, Matt LaFleur’s play-calling has been masterful, the offensive line has been excellent, and numerous players have stepped up in the passing game after that being a worry of many this offseason. Not to mention that Aaron Jones is Aaron Jones.
However, defensively, things haven’t gone as smoothly. While the run defense may be trending in the right direction, they are still having their issues, especially without Kenny Clark. Meanwhile, the pass-rush isn’t as effective as last season either. With that said, as they often did in 2019, they’ve come up with a big stop or turnover when needed.
So because of how good this team has been, finding three disappointing players wasn’t easy, but at the bye, it’s been these players in particular who haven’t lived up to offseason expectations. Now, I will say there is certainly time for them to turn this season around and by no means am I writing them off. However, through four games, to put it simply, they’ve underwhelmed.
