Kaleb Johnson

Here are the inactives for today's Week 8 game against the Panthers.

Tied in, Jonu Smith, running back Caleb Johnson, linebacker Zaire Franklin, offensive lineman Donovan Jennings, and Sean Ryan, along with Travis Glover.

So Sean Ryan, Jacob, is not on IR, right? Kind of interesting because they said four to six weeks.

So maybe they think there is a chance him coming back from that high ankle sprain a little bit early.

We've seen them, you know, take stabs at, all right, well, this is gonna be the Chris Brooks game.

This is gonna be the Kaleb Johnson game.

Um, we've seen Lloyd make mistakes.

We've seen him get hurt.

Hit the fun hurdle in week four, truck stick in week five.

The bar was low, but we saw him displace Caleb Johnson as the running back.

Caleb did not get on the field until the fourth quarter.

The stats were still fairly close with Pierce Strong, which I know is a little bit damning in and of itself, but Pierce Strong only had five rushes for seven yards.

Number two, Chuba Hubbard, followed by Jahmyr Gibbs, Breece Hall, Tutu, Kyron Williams, Ollie Gordon, always a good one.

Again, what we're seeing with these analytics is matching the eye test, at least in, you know, my flawed bias opinion sometimes.

RB7, Caleb Johnson, a little bit surprising to see there, but you know what? Has racked up, I think, nine missed tackles for us, has the three runs of 12-plus yards, and it's a limited number of touches, so that's helping him out as well.

Jaylen Warren, RJ Harvey in a similar sentiment to what we talked about with Caleb.

It was the first two rushing touchdowns for the Packers this season, and the first of his career.

Pierre Strong, yes, Pierre Strong, worked as the RB 2 and absorbed most of the third down snaps, while Kaleb Johnson saw very limited work there and mop-up duty at best.

Lloyd's efficiency, let's call it the way it is.

It has been modest all season.

Marshawn Lloyd played that 44% of the snaps there, while Pierre Strong was at about 24 snaps, which was about 41% against the Bears.

Strong played 75% of Green Bay's third down snaps and ran four more routes than Lloyd.

Kaleb Johnson, he just played nine snaps, and that was all in the fourth quarter when the game was already out of hand.

Taking a look at Marshawn Lloyd's kind of stat line there, we're looking at a 60% opportunity share, a 33% route share, 100% of the 10 yard, in, inside the 10 yard carries, 60% of the two minute running back snaps, and 22% of the third down snap share.

Marshon Lloyd carried ten times for thirty-one yards and two touchdowns.

Kaleb Johnson had seven for twenty-six, though twenty-three of those came on one carry.

Pierre Strong Jr. had five for seven.

Oh, no.

Uh, so I'll just give him a C if he does play.

On the Green Bay side of things, my take a chance on me running back was Kaleb Johnson, so he'll get the C. I'm leaving Marshawn Lloyd on the bench.

I'm not interested in him.

The receivers, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden both get C's, each for different reasons.

This, this is a team that I believe is very one-dimensional.

They had a couple of runs against Tampa Bay last week with, actually, Kaleb Johnson, Iowa guy, uh, that, that actually broke off for, for some good gains, a 31-yarder for Kaleb Johnson.

That was last week against Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

But at, right now, it's, it's one-dimensional.
