All week Corey Linsley Jersey Packers would be back to full strength at wide receiver. It was hardly a sure thing, to be sure, but with both Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison practicing all week (albeit on a limited basis), fans can be excused for feeling optimistic.Unfortunately, news out of Green Bay on Monday afternoon paints a bleaker picture. Lisa Salters of ESPN has reported (via Adam Schefter) that the Packers are “likely” to keep both of those two veteran wideouts inactive. If that is indeed the case, this would be the second straight game that both would sit out, as they missed last week’s loss to the Detroit Lions.If those players indeed are inactive, that leaves the Packers with their trio of rookie receivers to battle for snaps behind Davante Adams. The hierarchy last week was clear, with Marquez Valdes-Scantling leading the way ahead of Equanimeous St. Brown and then J’Mon Moore. Valdes-Scantling had the most receptions of the trio with seven and he scored the one touchdown among the group, while St. Brown led in receiving yards with 89, thanks to a 54-yard catch-and-run late in the game.Still, the Packers would miss Cobb, who remains a difficult player to cover from the slot, and Allison, who has become a talented playmaker on the boundary. Allison recorded at least 60 receiving yards in each of the team’s first four games Davante Adams Jersey , putting him on pace to eclipse 1,000 for the season before he was injured. Meanwhile Cobb had a spectacular week one, with nine catches for 142 yards and a score, before seeing his production slip a bit in weeks one and two.Of course, Adams remains the X-factor, as he has been nearly uncoverable this season. Last week in Detroit, he saw more snaps from the slot and took advantage of them en route to a nine-catch, 140-yard, one-touchdown performance. Can he and the rookies put up another 300-plus yard day between them? Tune in tonight to find out.Packers Film Room: Davante Adams burns Malcolm Butler in preseason opener People take football very seriously. Sometimes too seriously. I’m here to change that one play at a time. For any plays you’d like me to discuss, tweet me at @farminvt.Hoooo boy! Davante Adams is BACK, baby!Back from what, you ask? Back from his honeymoon to Greece? Back to the future?Back from the offseason, I guess? Anyway, we’ve gleefully watched Adams progress from “he only catches screens from Derek Carr against crappy competition” to posterizing the Legion of Boom (RIP but not really).Adams reminded us how awesome he is last Thursday in the Green Bay Packers’ preseason opener against the Tennessee Titans by making a 48-yard gain look easier than a hot knife cutting through butter. Easier than predicting the Warriors will make the NBA finals. Easier than Roger Goodell making himself look like an idiot.An added bonus: the defender who was so embarrassed that he immediately forked over his $10 million signing bonus was none other than “Mr. Doesn’t Play in the Super Bowl Because ”, aka Malcolm Butler.In crappy soap-opera dramas Cheap Aaron Rodgers Jersey , its always the butler who commits the crime.This butler’s crime? Getting that much money from Tennessee to be mediocre at your job.Woof.The play:Aaaaaand againBut in all seriousness, this was absolutely filthy. Wide receiver coaches everywhere jumped from their couches and started hailing Adams as their messiah.Let’s go step by step:Butler’s already a step behind here. Adams is pushing off his inside foot to go by Butler’s left shoulder before Butler has his inside foot planted.Oh just FYI, this next picture might be considered NSFW:Butler opened up his hips faster than...well, I’ll let you fill in that one.If you see a defensive back resorting to this move just to stay with his guy, it’s a sign he’s cooked.Adams is starting his sprint upfield, and Butler is having to rotate his body 180 degrees.I hope his insurance is good; the whiplash he got by watching Adams go by him is probably pretty expensive to get treated.Ho-hum. Just Adams getting a yard and a half of separation by his fifth step. I think I heard Adams tell Butler he’s slower than his Grandmother’s dial-up internet. Next.“Why did Hundley have to underthrow me so badly? Tell me, oh great one, why?”And lastly:A little handplay between the two of them; nothing major, just enough for Adams to get that last second separation.Adams had so much time by himself he got bored, thought of a cool handshake, slowed down to show Butler the handshake, and at the last second decided he’d rather make the catch.I guess the world will never know what could have been. One last look, in slow motion:That’s it for this week - remember to enjoy yourself, and stay weird.
