The Green Bay Packers had a strong win over Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night.
The defense allowed less than 300 total yards on offense, and the offense put up over 450 on Mike Tomlin’s prized side of the ball.
One thing that did stand out for Green Bay was the fact that head coach, Matt LaFleur, and defensive coordinator, Jeff Hafley, decided to bench offseason free agent acquisition, Nate Hobbs, who signed a 4 year, $48 million deal this offseason to come to Wisconsin.
Hobbs had a few misgivings in training camp, including some “overenthusiastic” big hits on offensive players, but started all six of the team’s opening games.

However, after what has been a slightly shaky start, the team made a clear decision to start former seventh round pick, Carrington Valentine, over him on the perimeter opposite Keisean Nixon, with second year slot, Javon Bullard, manning the slot.
And speaking on Wednesday, Hobbs described how he felt losing his spot in the starting lineup, and what he plans to do to get back there.
“Just 100% of the snaps be wired in and focused like I am most of the snaps, 400% of the time.” Hobbs said to the Green Bay media on Wednesday. “Corner is a position that if you give up 10% of catches that you on the field, and the other 90% you’re doing your job, you still can be considered not doing your job and not playing good. Just been focused 100% of the time.”
