Sunday was Aaron Rodgers’ and Aaron Jones’ birthday. Though the two Green Bay Packers were born 11 years apart [url=https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Brett-Favre-Jersey]Brett Favre Color Rush Jersey[/url] , they have become focal points of the team’s offense, one earning a pair of MVP awards and the other holding the distinction of being the NFL’s most efficient running back so far in 2018.On Sunday, neither one played up to those lofty descriptions, as the Packers inexplicably lost to the 2-9 Arizona Cardinals at home. Then, a few hours later, the two got what was likely a bittersweet birthday present: head coach Mike McCarthy was fired.McCarthy has taken heat for the way he has managed Jones, perhaps more than any other single issue this season. Between failing to work him into the featured running back role early enough and going long stretches of games without giving him the football (one tough in the second quarter on Sunday after ten in the first), that has been one of the biggest complaints Packers fans have had with the former head man.Of course, it was the deterioration of the offense’s overall production and Aaron Rodgers’ success as a passer that were probably the two biggest reasons that Mark Murphy relieved McCarthy of his duties. A Rodgers-led offense should never rank 26th in the league in converting third downs. And it certainly should never lose when favored by two touchdowns at home against one of the worst — if not the worst — team in the NFL.Now, McCarthy is gone. Murphy will reportedly be deciding on the next head coach, with general manager Brian Gutekunst providing substantial input rather than making the decision himself. It’s a lot to take in, but let’s try to make some sense of it on this bizarre Monday morning.Packers ‘not good enough’ to beat Cardinals | Packers.comAfter McCarthy got the axe last night, it's almost easy to forget the loss earlier in the day that precipitated the move. Here's a look back at that game before we begin to fully look forward.Green Bay Packers coaching search: Packers could go two ways with hire | Packersnews.comThe two paths envisioned here involve either someone with NFL or major college head-coaching experience, or a young and creative offensive mind. But a couple of names actually fit both criteria.Michael Cohen: How and why the Packers parted ways with Mike McCarthy – The AthleticIt's clear that Gutekunst supports this move; otherwise it would not have been made so quickly after this abysmal performance. Both Murphy and interim coach Joe Philbin will speak to the media this afternoon, starting at 1:45 PM Central.30 candidates Packers may consider to replace Mike McCarthy | The Packers WireOur Jason Hirschhorn threw five names out there overnight. If you want a look at just about every possibility, here's a much broader list of ideas.Mike McCarthy era ends in Green Bay during thirteenth season - NFL.comMike Silver notes that the timing of the move allows the Packers to get a head start on finding McCarthy's replacement. If the team is interested in any college coaches (*cough* Lincoln Riley), the time off before bowl games would make for an ideal interview period.Darts has a farting controversy, and nobody agrees who smelt it or dealt it - SBNation.comHere's a lighter story to give you a laugh in light of everything going on in Green Bay. This story stinks [url=https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Paul-Hornung-Jersey]https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Paul-Hornung-Jersey[/url] , but still not as badly as the Packers' third-down offense does. Over a two week span, Acme Packing Company takes a look at each position group on the Green Bay Packers and provides grades and insight on how they performed in the 2018 season. Today, we examine the safeties, and in this piece we look at the new faces at the position.Going into 2018 the Packers had major questions at the safety position. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix had been severely underperforming over the past couple seasons and everyone was hoping for a big bounce back season going into a contract year. Kentrell Brice had showed promise in a small sample size in the previous season and was looking to take the next steps in his career progression this year. Both ended in a dud.Clinton-Dix was traded to Washington at the trade deadline and Brice played poorly and was replaced after week ten. As for replacements, the Packers turned to a variety of newcomers to patch together the back end of the secondary.Tramon WilliamsHow acquired: Signed a two-year $10 million contract, including $4.75 millions guaranteed and a $3.75 million signing bonusStats: 16 games started (7 at cornerback, 9 at safety) 54 tackles, one fumble recovery, two passes defendedTramon Williams was brought back to Green Bay as a veteran presence to mentor all the young cornerbacks on the roster. He started the first seven games at corner before being flipped to free safety for the rest of the season after the trade of HaHa Clinton-Dix. Williams was solid in his starts at corner and continued his solid play at safety. While tackling had never been a strong suit for him at corner, he was not afraid to come up and make a tackle near the offensive line or attempt to make a tackle in open space. The most significant improvement that Williams brought was in coverage. While he didn’t grab an interception, he used his cornerback instincts and techniques to take away the deep middle of the field. While switching to a new position is never easy mid-season, Williams brought stability and consistency to the safety position. Williams is under contract for 2019 but may be a cap casualty as his salary cap hit will be $6.375 million. That may too much to digest if the Packers sign one of the several high end free agent safeties available. Ibraheim CampbellHow acquired: Claimed off waivers from the New York Jets on November 5th. Contract is one-year $705,000Stats: (Dallas, New York Jets and Green Bay) eight games played (one start), 19 tackles, one tackle for loss, one forced fumbleIbraheim Campbell was claimed by the Packers after releasing punter Drew Kaser. Campbell brought some veteran depth after the trade of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. While Campbell has never fully caught on with a team yet, the Packers were his third team in 2018 [url=https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Bart-Starr-Jersey]Bart Starr Jersey[/url] , but he brought some familiarity to Mike Pettine’s defense from when the two shared time in Cleveland.Campbell jumped into Pettine’s defense quickly and became a very good pickup. His snaps and stats increased each week. His best game was his lone start against the Cardinals. He registered most of his season stats with eight tackles, a tackle for loss and a forced fumble. Unfortunately, Campbell was injured in that Cardinals game and was placed on injured reserve on December 4th. Campbell should get strong consideration in being brought back in 2019.Eddie PleasantHow acquired: Signed a one-year $790,000 contractStats: (Arizona and Green Bay) six games played (one start), eight tackles, one tackle for lossEddie Pleasant was signed on November 28th after the Packers cut linebacker Korey Toomer. Pleasant was cut by the Cardinals prior to coming to Green Bay and he brought another veteran safety presence and some depth to a depleted roster. His signing proved to be well timed as Ibraheim Campbell went on injured reserve a week later. While Pleasant didn’t get the playing time that Campbell did, he was a decent backup to have for Josh Jones and Tramon Williams. He was only on the field for 85 snaps and registered minimal stats during his five games in Green Bay. In a not so pleasant memory for him, his most memorable play in Green Bay was the dropped interception against Arizona that would have stopped the drive where Arizona kicked the game winning field goal. With an influx of young safeties signed to futures contracts at the end of the year, the Packers will have to make a decision on whether or not to bring Pleasant back for 2019. Raven GreeneHow acquired: Signed as an undrafted rookie: Three years, $1.7 million contractStats: five games played, five tackles, one sack, one forced fumble, one pass defensedRaven Greene had a great training camp and made the initial 53-man roster. While Greene did not get a significant amount of snaps on defense, he did play a large roll on special teams. Greene’s best game of the season came against Miami. Greene played 30 snaps on defense and gained his sack and defensed pass. On December 8th, his season ended on injured reserve with an ankle injury. Greene figures to be a strong member of the special teams going forward and should continue to improve the depth at safety in 2019.
