What Randall Cobb Means To The Packers
by Brandon on May 7, 2011 7:00 AM CDT
in Green Bay Packers Draft
Email
PrintNational Football Post's Matt Bowen has two recent posts on the Green Bay Packers, and they're somewhat related. First he takes a look at what their 2nd round pick, WR Randall Cobb, could bring next season. While Bowen thinks the Packers could get creative, I don't expect we'll see anything different when Cobb is on the field. He also thinks they can attack the middle of the field with Cobb, just as the Packers do with other receivers. From Matt Bowen:
Inside the numbers: The first thing you do with a talent like Cobb. Get him matched up inside vs. a Nickel CB or even a FS that rolls down from the middle of the field working against Cover 1.
While WR James Jones showed glimpses of what he could do in the middle of the field, Cobb could become a big weapon inside the numbers as the slot receiver.
In his second post, Bowen shows what a dangerous slot receiver can do, when WR Jordy Nelson runs past the entire Giants defense:
No different here as the CB looks in the backfield at the mesh-point on the inside run action and immediately loses leverage on Nelson. Bottom line, he is beat at the snap all because of his eye placement. Take care of your job first, and in this case, that means playing trail-man on Nelson.
This one is all on S Antrel Rolle. He's looking in the backfield on the play action, but if he had been a few yards deeper, he might have been able to make a play. The defensive back has to keep the receiver in front of him, or keep up with him in coverage. But on this play, Rolle allows Nelson behind him right away, before FS Deon Grant can react, which allows QB Aaron Rodgers to throw the pass in stride after Nelson is behind all the defensive backs.
Cobb can do the same thing as Nelson, if the scheme allows him to get open with some room to work. He won't bring anything new to the Packers. He'll bring the same dangerous runner in the open field as the Packers have already in Nelson and WR Greg Jennings. But he will give them more mismatches in multiple receiver sets, as Nelson had against Rolle.

Cobb and 2 new tight ends
Cobb was lined up in the backfield in college and made some nice catches for good gains, also with the drafting of two tight ends with H-back size i can see some new wrinkles being added to the Green Bay offense this year, all this does not bode well for the return of James Jones.
jones
he’s moving to defense. he’s big, fast, and physical. which would be perfect for covering the randy moss types, and he has the hands of a cornerback
........
I wonder if this could work…. never seen this idea before.
But I think it will never happen because he will be offered a contract as a reciever somewhere else first.

Hopefully this is a joke
An established WR who thinks he could be a # 1 or 2 will never move to CB.
Not too mention, I don’t want to see it either
"I'm tired of pretending I'm not a rock star from Mars."
It may have been said in sarcastic tone......
but hell, it might just be crazy enough to work. You never see this in the NFL though because players have their set position and nobody wants to change it…..usually cause if one team doesn’t wnat it, another team is willing to pay for it.
He IS big and physical….but this would be a radical move….

Just takes too long in most cases, IMO
Skills in the NFL are often things players learn very early and develop over years of HS and college ball even before they get to the NFL. Just takes way too long in most cases for the NFL teams to be willing to put in the time commitment before seeing a payoff. ANd just about the time the payoff is coming the player is ready to hit the FA market. So another team could easily benefit from all the time and energy someone else puts into changing a players position.
I don’t think Jones is fast or quick enough to be a DB. He ran like a 4.6 or worse 40. And I’ve never seen him really out-quick anyone. He’s good enough to work himself open on offense partly due to his physical style, but on D alot of that would be negated by the hands off D that is enforced in the NFL.

Brown played both
He was primarily a WR who would occasionally play CB. Not sure about this, but I’d assume that Brown played some CB in college.
"I'm tired of pretending I'm not a rock star from Mars."
Yep
by no means does Troy Brown define all WRs, though. He was converted to CB in 2004 because the Patriots simply HAD no one else to play that position.
And he was pretty solid at it, too.

Every Packer will end up loving Randall Cobb.
His excitment is infectious and his work ethic is phenomenal. He will not stop working until he is the number one option at receiver but will not offend the other guys to get there. He stays humble and hungry.
Sounds like he will be a good fit, unselfishness is a required trait in an offense with so many weapons.
Exactly. Well put.
But what amazed the UK football fans is his durability. He is not afraid to take and make hard hits across the middle.
He plays with a big chip on his shoulder because of his 2 star rating coming out of high school. He grew up 20 miles from the University of Tennessee and they didn’t even take a glance in his direction. And that never say die attitude is what has made him such a star.
Cobb is my 7 year old son's favorite player of any sport.
Due to my son’s infatuation with him, I tried to find as much out about him as I could. I dug up every blog, article and snipet I could find and in the process I came to admire this kid tremendously. As a father, I can say I have no issues with Cobb being my son’s hero.

That's awesome, man
A few more fathers could stand to take some notes.
Brewers, if you're really that desperate to disprove the saying "Defense wins championships" you're going to have to at least hit the ball occasionally.
Like I said...
We’ve all read the reports about the kid. But that doesn’t free you acting like you know him! He has alot of good qualities, and I’m sure he’ll be a good role model for your son! I just hope YOUR the real role model for him, not some athlete that he might never meat!
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
Well Strohman if you had read everything about Cobb you would already know the things that I've said were true.
But don’t get it twisted, Strawman, I AM my son’s role model AND hero. But I also support his passions as well
I never once indicated that I knew Randall Cobb personally. But with the character he has shown to my Alma mater, I would gladly adopt him.
And if I did adopt him… I would make sure he knew the difference between MEAT and MEET. Have another beer on me, man.

Like I said!!!
We’ve all read all the glowing reports about Cobb! Sounds like a great kid, person and has alot of potential to be a really good player! I read what you said about Cobb and for the most part I totally agree, except that he’ll never become the #1 target in the Packers offense, cuz honestly Jennings and Finley are far beyond him in talent and playmaking ability. Beyond that, like I ALSO said I hope your your son’s role model… That means your actually being a father and I applaud you for that. No need to get pissy w/ me over anything I said! And if your going to go on a little nit picking tirade on us there alot worse than me inadvertently misspelling meet! Now go be a father to your son, and quit bitching at me!
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
I would say with the "bitching" that you had a little farther down, that you need to look in the mirror.
But look Strohman, I didn’t come in this thread to get in a fight with anyone. I just thought I would share a little insight into the character of the man the Packers drafted. You know, the info that is hard to find in articles that feature nothing but stats.
But that apparently that doesn’t interest you as much as cheering for the WR of the Pats…

For what I said earlier,
Which btw has little to do w/ you, I already apologized for not reading a single comment correctly. And its not like Jeigh couldn’t have easily ended it earlier by pointing out my mistake earlier. We all appreciate anyone commenting on the Packers. Who Cobb is as a person IS Important to me. ANd I’ve read as much as I can find on him. Not cheering for anyone other than the GB Packers, but calling a rookie WR a better playmaker than Welker is simply ABSURD! And my guess is you know that as well as I do… Let it go.

(thank you time-stamped posts) and you’ve both carried this on long enough.
Good insight on Cobb and hope he turns out the way you feel about him Cameron.
Stroh…. you’ve been a bit over the top in this thread with hitting people hard on getting excited over Cobb. I get what you are saying about him. He hasn’t proven himself yet, and certainly nowhere near the likes of Welker in the Pats offense, and so yes, we should understand that no games have been played yet and he is only potential at this point. But its the offseason and the draft is the biggest thing between Feb (thankfully) and August, so let these fans get a bit excited for a minute and dream of the best-case scenarios now, before reality comes crashing down on us all like it always does.

Whether for Cobb or other things. Read the comments, my response and theirs to me and tell me where it started. I would like to know what you see that I don’t.

Stroh, FYI, you tend
to start every argument by challenging just about everything everyone says. You also intentionally start arguments with certain people that you don’t agree with. It is getting very old and I have a feeling you won’t be long on this site. This isn’t NFL.com or yahoosports.com, this is a respected blog where true, educated fans come to discuss God’s team, not shell out insults and challenges to everyone’s football IQ. If a guy wants to gush over a rookie, let him, he has every right to. It isn’t your job to knock him down because of his comments regarding said player. It truly pains me to read your comments because I know they are filled with back and forth banter that has no place on this site. One more piece of advice, if you are going to go after someone, at least learn how to spell, that way it gives the illusion that you are not an idiot.

BTW – I do NOT intentionally start arguments. But your saying that could be viewed as a reason for me to argue w/ you about it! So before casting a stone, maybe you should check yourself first!

Since joining this board, I’ve really liked some of your analysis and thought process. Most of your posts are well thought out and succinct. I really like your insight and on most things you are spot on. But you dont need to take a stand on everything, and no one likes to be told that their opinion is wrong, or that a child idolizing a pro athlete at 7 years old is wrong. You seem like you are VERY angry at someone or something, I dont know what it is but it seems to be dragging you down to get into petty arguments. Tact; even if you know that you are right, shoving it in someone else’s face does not make it more right.

Cobb
I like the kid, but he’s not going to suddenly make the Packers passing game the greatest ever. I don’t expect anything out of him this season except as a return man! He’ll have a limited role as a WR. In a couple years he’ll be used like a Welker… Alot of short underneath routes that give him run after the catch opportunities. We have too many other receiver options for him to be nearly as productive as Welker! Expect 60 rec and about a 12 ypc average, at his best! Some of you seem to think he’s going to become the focal point of the offense! We’ve all ready the reports about him, you don’t need to gush over him like a schoolgirl…
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
I say gush away...
Stroh, why not let others gush over him.
Personally, I don’t know what he’ll do but I do like the possibilities his talents give MM. I read where they don’t just picture him as a slot receiver which increases his value. An aspect no one is talking about is reverses. It’s been relatively non existent in our O. His speed would make him perfect for it…and then add a pass off the reverse…yikes!
Do you realize Donald Driver our #2 receiver in receptions last year had 51 rec and 11.1 ypc? I would happily take 60/12 in his first couple of years. What would keep him from hitting these numbers and more is b/c of injuries or the great talent around him.

poor comparison w/welker

For Gods sake, I don’t think there could be a better comparison! Just cuz Cobb played QB a little in college to doesn’t make them at all different! Welker is outstanding working the underneath stuff, and that exectly the role than Cobb is gonna have for the Packers!

i agree with many of your posts, but you need to relax man. As Sun said, I see them differently. I do believe he has better speed than Welker and could be more explosive. Not sure how the kid will play out in the long run. None of us our sure how this will play out. You however some out with words like “crock of shit” and “stupid” in response to my opinion.

Cobb is slightly faster than Welker, but Welker is quicker… Comparison works! How you actually believe that Cobb is gonna be a better playmaker than Welker is absolutely beyond me. You coming out w/ the kid is gonna be and I quote “a HUGE FORCE” for us this year is down right dellusional! You need to get a grip on reality man! Welker is a big time playmaker! Just cuz he isn’t stretching the field deep doesn’t make him less of a playmaker. I don’t see Cobb w/ about 4.5 speed stretching the field a whole lot either. Putting Cobb, a ROOKIE, ahead of Welker as playmaker, IS a crock of shit! I’ll go easy when you get a grip on reality! Until then don’t try to feed me a bunch of Crap about Cobb being a better playmaker than Welker! And don’t try to tell me that an inexperienced college WR is gonna be a HUGE FORCE for the Packer this year either!
Look, I like the kid and he has potential, but inexperienced rookie WR dont’ become a huge force for Pro teams! Jennings had a really good rookie year, but he wasn’t a HUGE FORCE. ANd he started 4 years in college! Cobb started ONE year as a WR!
I get everyone likes to get excited about a rookie draft pick, but trying to tell anyone that an inexperienced college WR, as a ROOKIE, is gonna be a bigger playmaker than an All Pro WR is DELLUSIONAL! Don’t try to sell that load of crap, it just doesn’t work!

But I scan read comments. So I apologize for missing that. Still think expecting anything other than returns this season is not realistic. As NorthStarr says farther down.. “WRs almost never produce much in their first couple of years.” And he’s right! WR generally take a couple years to make an impact. Especially WR who enter the NFL inexperienced at the position. Look at Jordy Nelson… Same situation… Some of you need to temper your enthusiasm for rookies… It borders on dellusional!

More Harvin
Or Randle El than Welker.
Welker isn’t physically gifted, he can’t play QB, he can’t play RB.
But noone in the league is as good at finding soft spot in zones than Welker, Welker runs perfect routes and has incredible hands.
The reason Welker is targeted a lot is because he’s always open and doesn’t drop balls. He’s Brady’s security blanket.
"IT IS TIME"
And you Honestly think that at 5'10 190 Cobb can play QB or RB?!!!
Get FREAKIN real! I think the Randle Ell comparison works very well…

I hope no player becomes the focal point of this offense
Not again, no thank you, so the more exciting weapons that “could” become focal points just means more potential targets to keep in mind so no single one does
I'm going to reserve judgment on Cobb for at least a couple of seasons.
Yes, he produced against SEC competition on a regular basis, but not all SEC WRs pan out. Not all players from a single conference pan out, either.
Should Cobb prove able to be the #2 or #3 receiver in Green Bay’s offense in a couple seasons, that’s when you should give him credit. As of this moment, he is a rookie receiver who has never played a down in a Green Bay jersey.

It remains to be seen whether Cobb pans out…TT does have a great track record with 2nd round receivers, though.

Jennings, Nelson, Murphy… HOpefully Cobb becomes something remotely close to them. And I actually think he could.

I'm with ya on this, as well.
WRs almost never produce much in their first couple of years; it’s why I’d just about always rather not see the Packers take one in the first round, where you are usually looking for near-immediate impact players.
Good WRs usually blossom in their third or fourth year, and the exceptions are damned few and far between.
"It's a great day to be great, baby!"
"Here I am, brain the size of a planet,
and they ask me to pick up a piece of paper.
You call that job satisfaction?
'Cause, I don't."
THE BEARS STILL SUCK!
It's the offseason, we just won the Super Bowl, and are excited about our draft
No reason to get upset and insult other people for liking someone and thinking that they will be good players. Most WRs don’t have huge rookie years, but some do. . . . Randy Moss, Anquan Boldin, Percy Harvin, Eddie Royal, Marques Colston, Santonio Holmes, Lee Evans, DeSean Jackson, Andre Johnson, heck even Michael Clayton had a great rookie year before disappearing. And for a team that likes to spread it out, a big season doesn’t have to be 100 catches and 1,200 yards.
It’s spring, and hope springs eternal (offer void for Chicago Cubs fans).

And for every one you mention...
I could list at least twice that many that were complete busts! Nothing wrong w/ thinking they’ll be good, but when people start talking about a rookie being a better playmaker than a multiple time Pro Bowler, it is way, just WAY beyond anything resembling Rational! I get that its an offseason following a SB win but REALLY thats being dellusional. And when fans get such high expectations, all that can happen is that your gonna be let down and then bitching about how bad they are and how they have totally underachieved! And that doesn’t help anyone either! How about being excited, I am, but reserving a little irrational expectations till they have actually played in a game! I guess thats something you learn as you get a bit older than HS or college!

Graduated from UW, had a serious head injury, wanted to make sure my brain still worked
So I went to UM for another degree. Preferred UW but did have some professors at UM that were excellent and very accessible.
Got an English lit degree from UW, though I took a fair amount of business/econ as well, and a history degree from UM. The econ classes were by far the most relevant to what I currently do, however.

What are people supposed to do Stroh? We are sitting in the middle of a lockout. They drafted a young exciting playmaker, what do you expect people to do. How in the heck do you know what he’s going to be? How do you know he isn’t going to show up and blow up the scene. People tried to shut people up when the Packers drafted Matthews too, yet he was a HUGE playmaker. Its not rare for a receiver to show up and be a major factor. How about you let people talk about the guy how they want…if you don’t like the comments don’t read them, I don’t’ think they’ll care (someone named Stroh threw that one out a few comments above).
The Green Bay Packers...Putting bad coaches out of their misery since 2010
The benefit of Cobb
One of the talking heads recently said something that has stuck in my head about drafting Cobb: “You can’t argue with production.” Really when looking at a WR from a team like UK it’s pretty telling when he’s the main part of the offense and is still able to produce. That’s what has me excited. It tells me that he has the ability to get open and he has the ability to make plays even when the defense knows the ball is going to be going to him and he’s the one the team is relying on. That’s something we can build on and that’s something that can continue to make our WR corp something special.
If there's something I want out of the excitment from Cobb
Is creating a feeling of trying different packages and spreading it out. I’m like many fans and eagerly awaiting seeing Finley back on the field, but targetting Finley too much didn’t end up all that successful for the first few weeks of the season, now even if Cobb is in a Nelson like role, the idea of an even spread between Jennings/Finley with Nelson/Driver/Cobb tossed into the mix.
Jennings and Nelson proved themselves worthy of attention even with Finley back, Driver still has gas in the tank, and Cobb being around to keep the spread honest is fine with me
Ok, another one of these posts...
I lost the link to the article… but it said Finley was the 3rd targeted receiver on the team at the time of his injury. Jennings and one other WR were ahead of him, and the two other WRs were close behind.
What this all means is, with Finley on the field, there was equal distrubution. I don’t know where people are getting the thought that Finley was the only person getting thrown to. Maybe it’s because he is a TE and WRs usually get the ball thrown their way more often?

And becuz he made more happen w/ his targets than did Jennings and Driver.
They were all targeted equally early last season. Just that JMike had more catches and seemed to make more happen w/ his targets! Last I checked thats his job. To do the most he can w/ the number of catches he gets!
You've been Stroh'd™!!!
How many more formations can the Packers really run?
Our O actually was pretty diverse if you think about it. The Packers were running two and three TE sets and even two FB sets at times. Then the next play we would suddenly switch to 5 wide. Hell, the Packers were even running an effective wishbone package last year.
Really the only package that we didn’t run last year was Wildcat, and I just don’t see that working here since we have a kick ass franchise QB.

I don't see GB suddenly becoming trick play city
but Cobb certainly brings some opts. if they choose. Like I said in an earlier post, if he becomes the holder, it opens an otherwise straight forward kick up for a number of possibilities.

If this thread continues the way it is, you’ll give us (specifically Brandon) no choice but to take action. We don’t want that.
Everybody involved in this needs to grow up. There’s nothing wrong with discussing a Packers draft pick’s abilities and potential role and impact in the offense. And there’s nothing wrong with someone feeling excited about that player’s potential or someone else feeling that this excitement isn’t justified yet. However, everyone needs to be civil about this and not take disagreements personally. The personal attacks, random bitching, and general pointlessness of this thread need to END. NOW.

The Green Bay Packers set the bar so high that it’s hard to meet those expectations. When your team has Woodson, CM3, Raji, Collins and friends on defense you start to think that there must be something even better than perfection, and the result is that you rec things with less frequency.

Brewers, if you're really that desperate to disprove the saying "Defense wins championships" you're going to have to at least hit the ball occasionally.
I hate to stray from the topic at hand, but I have some thoughts on Randall Cobb . . .
Cobb brings another matchup difficulty that opposing defensive coordinators will have to spend time on. With all the matchup problems we have, teams won’t have as much time to spend on other aspects of defense. We’ll have more teams on the ropes than ever, and the offense will improve as a result (even if Cobb doesn’t put up big numbers). Just run one Wildcat play with Cobb in week 2 and opposing teams just lost one hour of prep time getting ready for Finley split wide.
And he can help our defense prepare for Percy Harvin, too, so he helps that part of the team as well.

I wouldn’t mind them putting him and Rodgers in the backfield at the same time, and having them run, like, a quadruple flea-flicker.

I like what Cobb brings to the table
A very versatile athlete who could potentially develop into a Welker / Harvin type player, given time and the right circumstances. I dont think the Packers will get too cute with the Wildcat and run all kinds of trick formations, maybe a trick play or an odd formation every other game is about as much as I expect from MM. The Wildcat scares me to have the QB lining up in the slot at times and running routes. I know they arent made of glass, but I dont like the face of the franchise running routes and risk getting laid out by a cheap shot.
He’s actually underrated, but that’s another can of worms…
Another aspect of his game is his place holding capabilities.
Excellent option if you need a two point conversion. He has even said (while laughing) that he wanted to take Tim Masthay’s job.

Cobb is gonna kill it.. starting this year, not in 2-3 but right away. I like him as much and more than i liked Starks/Shields last year. Book it Danno. And P.S. I can be high on him just like some people were high on Starks last year and pounded their chests when he had a good game.. yeah, don’t be hypocritical. Let us feel some love for these kids until they prove us otherwise. Second note: Ricky will be starting in 2 years!
