GREEN BAY Kentrell Brice Color Rush Jersey , Wis. — Every year, Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy nips any playoff talk in the bud by saying it’s not a topic of conversation until the team wins 10 games.More Packers coverageBucks’ Wes Matthews loves Wisconsin, is a Vikings fanPreview: Packers look to slow Vikings’ revitalized run gameTop Tweets: Yelich thanks fans for support after season-ending injuryAmos sparks rebuilt Packers defense in debutPackers to be tested again by familiar foe in Zimmer, VikingsThe Packers hit the season’s midpoint with a 3-4-1 record, meaning there is little margin for error after back-to-back losses to two of the NFL’s powerhouses.To reach double-digits in victories, the Packers will have to win seven of their final eight games. That quest begins with a return home to face the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.“We’re focused on winning No. 4. That’s all we’re talking about right now,” McCarthy said on Monday, a day after a 31-17 loss to the New England Patriots.“We improved as a football team the last two weeks, but you have to play your best football coming down the stretch. We’re not playing to the level we need to play in the fourth quarter.”In the final seven minutes of last week’s 29-27 loss at the Los Angeles Rams, the Packers failed to extend a 27-26 lead, had a bad punt, gave up the go-ahead field goal and fumbled the ensuing kickoff.On the first play of the fourth quarter against the Patriots, the Packers were driving into scoring position when running back Aaron Jones fumbled.The Patriots used a pass from receiver Julian Edelman to running back James White to set up the go-ahead touchdown, forced the Packers to punt, then added an insurance touchdown.Not only did the Packers lose the game, but they lost ground in the NFC North to Chicago (5-3), which routed Buffalo for its second consecutive win, and Minnesota (5-3-1), which beat Detroit for its fourth win in five games.After hosting Miami (5-4), Green Bay goes back on the road to face Seattle (4-4) and Minnesota.“The games in November are really where teams historically start to separate one way or the other,” McCarthy said. “Our focus is really on our self-scout and things we’ve been working on. The last two weeks, we’re not finishing games.”The problems run across all three phases. Defensively, the Packers have failed to get a takeaway the past two weeks.On special teams, there was Ty Montgomery’s fumble on the kickoff return against the Rams and two penalties against the Patriots.On offense, Green Bay has run a total of 22 plays in the fourth quarter the past two weeks. Against the Patriots https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Geronimo-Allison-Jersey , the fourth quarter started with a fumble, continued with a three-and-out and ended with a fourth-down failure.“We’re not hitting on all cylinders,” quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. “We’re hurting ourselves with negative-yardage plays and missed throws and turnovers at the wrong time and not being on the same page too many times, whether I’m missing a throw or we’re not in the spot I think we’re going to be at, it’s happening in the worst times. When we have to play our best in those crunch times, we haven’t been playing our best.”To get on track, the Packers are going to have to play through some injuries. Right tackle Bryan Bulaga (knee), safety Kentrell Brice (knee), cornerback Kevin King (hamstring) and linebacker Blake Martinez (ankle) were knocked out of the game by injuries.Martinez, who was injured when he stepped on the ankle of Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, returned for the final couple of series.“I pride myself on being a tough guy and I didn’t want to leave my team,” Martinez said.“I knew if I could run straight and do certain things, I could go out there and finish the game.”According to McCarthy, King will be “hard pressed” to be ready to face the Dolphins. Bulaga, who’s suffered major injuries to both knees, avoided a significant injury and could be back for Sunday. Receiver Geronimo Allison might need surgery after suffering a groin injury at Thursday’s practice. Green Bay reportedly feels that Daniels is no longer a three-down player. Given that evaluation, moving on from him was inevitable." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesAcme Packing Company homepageHorizontal - WhiteAcme Packing Companya Green Bay Packers communityFollow Acme Packing Company online:Follow Acme Packing Company on TwitterFollow Acme Packing Company on FacebookFollow Acme Packing Company on InstagramLog in or sign upLog InSign UpSite searchSearchSearchAcme Packing Company main menuFanpostsFanshotsSectionsPackersOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 321 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShare this storyShare this on FacebookShare this on TwitterShareAll sharing optionsShareAll sharing options for:Packers’ view of Mike Daniels’ limited role helps explain the decision to release himTwitterFacebookRedditPocketFlipboardEmailPhoto by Jonathan Daniel/Getty ImagesWhen word first came down that the Green Bay Packers were cutting Mike Daniels on Wednesday, the most common reaction among fans of the team was shock. That shock then gave way to anger for many fans, as Daniels was a fan favorite for much of his seven-year career.Then, as the day went along, more and more details came out that gave more context to the release. The first and easiest to obtain was Daniels’ contract number. The $10.7 million cap hit he was scheduled to have this season was a large figure, and freeing up about $8 million in space clearly played a significant part. Looking back at the Packers’ additions in free agency and through the draft shows the team’s commitment to taller, longer, more versatile players up front.But one subtle comment from beat writer Tom Silverstein went a bit under the radar. Check out the last sentence of this tweet:If the Packers truly think Daniels is only a third-down pass-rusher at this point, then the release makes complete sense Oren Burks Jersey , especially in light of their offseason additions. On obvious passing situations, the Packers have a ton of options for interior rushers. Kenny Clark can do the job tremendously well, and Dean Lowry has shown plenty of chops in those situations as well, while Montravius Adams and rookie Kingsley Keke represent additional potential options. Then there are the outside linebackers, as the team has been quick to note that Za’Darius Smith and Rashan Gary will definitely put their hands on the ground in those situations. There’s also a good chance that the team sees some of those players — Clark and Smith in particular — as being better options than Daniels right now anyway, making him a second or third option in those situations.Now, that analysis is certainly up for debate. Daniels has been an effective run defender throughout his career, anchoring well on base downs and eating up blockers. However, he did seem to slip a bit in that area in 2018, Mike Pettine’s first year as defensive coordinator, even before his injury struck. That and his 30th birthday passing in May would surely be reasons for the Packers’ reported evaluation of his value as a player for the coming season.Given his projected role as a situational interior rusher, Daniels was unlikely to play more than 50% of the team’s snaps in those situations, based solely on the other options that Pettine has at his disposal. If the team then does not see him as being a suitable option on base downs any more, then a $10.7 million cap hit is absolutely unacceptable and moving him would be the obvious choice.That cap hit was the 9th-highest among all defensive tackles in 2019, according to Spotrac, and by this writer’s count it would have fallen behind only five other 3-4 defensive ends. In today’s NFL, you simply cannot pay a situational player like a star, which is what Daniels’ contract was set to do.Now that money will be freed up for an extension for a true star in his prime, as the 23-year-old Kenny Clark will be due a new contract after 2020. Locking him up — whether that happens during 2019 or next offseason — will be a pricey proposition, and the Packers surely have an eye on that extension when considering the salary cap ramifications of this move. Keep in mind that any unused cap space rolls over year-to-year, so even if the Packers don’t sign Clark in the next few months, the extra $8 million opened up now will still be available.A move like this all comes down to value. The Packers determined that they were better off eating $11.1 million in cap space to move on from Nick Perry, because the future cap space that release freed up was more than worth it to let him walk. They evidently feel that opening up $8 million now is worth it to let go of a player who is no longer a three-down difference maker.When Daniels inevitably catches on with another team, his 2019 season will show whether Brian Gutekunst and company were wrong in their assessment of his remaining capabilities.
