Packers claim RB Christine Michael one day after release from Seahawks

During a conference call with reporters on Wednesday, Norman had very high praise for Rodgers. This year, he signed a one-year contract with the team.

Michael was part of a running-back group in Seattle that was criticized by offensive-line coach Tom Cable for making mistakes on seven of 10 run plays in the Seahawks’ game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 9.

“You always have to be ready for somebody like Aaron Rodgers”, Redskins linebacker Will Compton said. We’re being challenged aggressively as far as coverage schemes. In fact, they might just be a slightly below-average football team.

Even though they are struggling, the Packers still have Aaron Rogers.

Teams are also getting wiser about not letting him escape the pocket and make plays on the move. Head Coach Mike McCarthy, who has a huge input in play calling, has been scrutinized for much for his “simple” and “obvious” decision making this season. From the Redskins side, you can expect these five players to put together noteworthy games.

“A lot of it is just fundamentals and execution”. I think the one thing I know best about him is just the way he’s able to change direction and explode on the second and third cuts. I know who we’re facing and that’s a cerebral quarterback that’s the best of the best at what he’s doing. “If you slip, if you’re off, he’s going to make you pay for it”.

“So we’ve got to pick that up, find ways to score touchdowns in the red zone and start fast”.

“I assume everyone’s been in a situation where they haven’t won every game or have gotten in a little spot and haven’t played well”, Packers wideout Jordy Nelson remarked. I think he brings the screen game into it as well, like he did last week when he scored a touchdown on a screen.

The victory was Washington’s third straight win and cover at home.

Green Bay’s pass defense, on the other hand, ranks 29th in opponent passer rating.

“Obviously, our attempts are way up”, McCarthy said. “We went on a 6-game slide and it was just awful”.

Playoff implications not just on the field but in fantasy leagues across the country will be affected by the outcome of the game from a win-loss perspective and how individual players fair.

“In hindsight, they’re taking money away from you”, Compton said. “But let’s be honest with how people are playing us, what’s going on on the video”. The Packers were (2-1) in their first three primetime games this season.
