I wouldn’t give up on Sternberger, I think he will have a breakout game, interesting this week Burks snaps on defense, with Gary out he could have given a breather to one of the Smiths , Summers could have as well .

I was surprised to see Shepherd at WR so much. Fortunately, we didn’t give him a chance to embarrass himself. We gave Dillon one carry. We threw it to Turner once with good results. By my rough count, 46 of our 63 plays had the ball going to an RB or TE. We threw it at MVS 9 times.

We scored 30, well below our average but still.....it’s 30. The defense got enough stops that a team that had averaged 30 only got 16.

We never trailed. At halftime, we already had more points than Atlanta ended up with. No turnovers for the 4th straight week. Rodgers got sacked once and also took two hits that I saw. We punted twice. We failed on downs at the goal line (I’m in favor of lining it up in the I formation, putting a massive lead blocker at FB, and giving the ball to a pile driver while running it over your best OL. It’s not tricky, but it works)

I want to say a word about Tonyan. I’ve driven through his hometown on several occasions and have followed him with interest since he came to Green Bay. I thought the acquisitions of Sternberger and DeGuara....and signing Lewis...might mean the Packers didn't think he was part of the answer at TE. But he’s our #1 TE now, and he’s earned it. Tonyan could have pulled a Joshjones and asked the Packers to release him but instead decided to compete...and win. He’s having a great start to this season.

We don’t play a lot of special teams. We punt once or twice a game and there aren’t any returns. We kickoff into the end zone and let them start at the 25. We rarely return punts. In other words, there’s no reason to have starters on our special teams , other than the linemen on extra points and FGs.

Let's continue to keep Tonyan and Alexander off the special teams as much as possible.... Nice to see Raven Greene get an increased workload and a drive-killing sack.... Dillon is going to have a tough time getting on the field if Jones and Williams continue to produce they way they've been.

@TGR, thanks as always for this snap counts post. Really enjoy the info.

As I mentioned one week ago, I wish the Smith brothers could get a few plays of relief but this week with Gary out I knew that was unlikely. Z played well but Preston has been invisible this season, and if that doesn't change I'm inclined to think he might be a cap casualty in the offseason.

Hard to complain at 4-0 with the #1 offense. O-Line probably had their worst game of the season, but that's after 3 very good games. They weren't bad but it seemed like Rodgers was under more pressure (and a couple of ugly head first scrambles) and the run blocking was mediocre this game. It was interesting to see a 6th O-Lineman brought in for 7 plays but I need to re-watch the game to see if that was effective and I assume it was because Lewis was out of the lineup.

Once again, Aaron Jones plays right around half the snaps. Excellent job by ML to manage his pitch count early in the season so he's available when it really matters.

Raven Greene changed numbers. Quite a legacy for the young man to carry. His snap count increased with the Packers playing their base 3-5 for most of the second half. Soft tissue injuries are taking a toll real early, the curse of not being 'football shape'. Do the Packers have another Fback (as MLF calls the position) on the roster. Great job as always TGR...

Interesting that Winn gets slightly more snaps than M. Adams in his first action with the Packers. And plays reasonably well - had a couple of good run stuffing plays. Between that and the Snacks Harrison rumors, I think Adams' days are numbered.
