Womens Dante Pettis Jersey , Pita Taumoepenu The San Francisco 49ers defense has dealt with inconsistencies through the first quarter of the season. The unit is trying to get on track, and while we do see some positives, questions remain for a group that will need to step up further following the loss of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.The defense is struggling in different areas, and that has brought up questions as to potential personnel changes. Most notably, people are wondering if rookie defensive lineman Jullian Taylor will get an opportunity.Taylor has been inactive for the first four games of the season. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh met with the media on Thursday, and he was asked how Taylor is progressing.Taylor had some big moments in the preseason. In the opener against Dallas, he started in place of an injured Arik Armstead, and got work at both the LEO and strong end positions, but primarily at LEO. He had a sack, two quarterback hits, and three run stops.He was relatively quiet in the second and third preseason games Youth Richard Sherman Jersey , accumulating a quarterback hurry and an assist on a tackle. In the preseason finale, he had a sack and two quarterback hurries, along with one run stop.While Taylor impressed, I would be surprised to see him get an opportunity unless one of the defensive linemen gets hurt. At some point it might be worth some re-shuffling, but there are likely too many bodies ahead of him.Saleh got the same question about practice squad linebacker Pita Taumoepenu, and specifically whether or not he might get promoted at some point.Taumoepenu got work at the SAM linebacker and LEO edge rusher positions. He finished the preseason with six quarterback hurries and five run stops. He was part of final roster cuts before signing to the practice squad. With the move of Malcolm Smith to the SAM position and Taylor still a potential LEO option, I don’t expect Pita T to be promoted short of an injury to a current roster member. Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy heads into the bye week well aware of his team's shortcomings.And he knows how crucial it is to fix them in advance of the most challenging portion of the schedule."It was important to win the game on so many different fronts," McCarthy said on Tuesday, a day after his team's 33-30 win over San Francisco. "Let's be honest, you have to win your home games."At 3-2-1, all three of the Packers' victories have come at home Womens Alfred Morris Jersey , along with a Week 2 tie with NFC North rival Minnesota. Their two losses were on the road at Washington and at Detroit.And they're about to be on the road a lot in the next month, with four of their next five games away from Lambeau Field.With post-bye games at the Los Angeles Rams (6-0) and New England Patriots (4-2) looming — then two more road games at Seattle (3-3) and at Minnesota (3-2-1) after a Nov. 11 home game against Miami (4-2) — the Packers' next five opponents are a combined 20-9-1."Obviously, I understand what the next four games look like. But they don't mean anything outside of the Rams because that's the next game," McCarthy said."We get a chance to work this week, get a head start on those guys, but we've got a lot of work to do on ourselves — and that's really where the energy will go."McCarthy said players had a weightlifting session Tuesday morning before getting the rest of the week off. Players will travel back to Green Bay on Sunday and get back to work on Monday.The coaches, meanwhile, will do their traditional self-scouting, which includes what McCarthy calls "across-the-hall" evaluations, where the defensive coaches break down what they see from the Packers' offense and vice versa.What they'll find are inconsistencies on both sides of the ball.Green Bay's offense is fourth in total offense (421 yards per game), but a middling 15th in scoring (24.7 points per game) Authentic Richard Sherman Jersey , 16th in third down conversion rate (40.2 percent) and 22nd in red zone offense (50 percent touchdown rate).The defense is seventh in total defense (328.3 yards per game), but 15th in scoring defense (24 points per game) and gave up several big plays to the 49ers on Monday night.Even as important as Monday night's win was, it epitomized the Packers' inconsistency. The defense allowed the 49ers just 3 yards on their final three possessions, with Kevin King's interception squelching San Francisco's final chance to win in regulation and setting up the Packers' winning field-goal drive.Quarterback Aaron Rodgers led a pair of successful two-minute drives at the end of the game — the first for the game-tying touchdown and the second for kicker Mason Crosby's 27-yard walk-off field goal — but the offense continues to struggle outside of the two-minute drill."We're going to enjoy this one for sure, but correct it at some point," Rodgers said. "Thankfully, we're going to get into our bye week pretty quickly, but I'm sure next Monday we'll take a good, hard look at this and take a look at what we did well our first six weeks."We're a couple plays away from being 4-2 or 5-1, and definitely a couple plays from being the other way. So we're thankful to be 3-2-1 right now and realize what's in front of us, and how this type of play might not get it done against the next opponents. We've got to play better."Rodgers Womens Mike McGlinchey Jersey , who led the Packers to a 24-23 comeback win over Chicago in the season opener despite suffering a left knee injury during the first half of that game, has attempted at least 40 passes in the past five games, and McCarthy admitted he'd like the offense to be more balanced.But McCarthy also feels those two fourth-quarter comebacks will benefit the team during the upcoming challenging stretch."The adversity component as far as the number of times we've been in these situations so far this year, I'm hopeful," McCarthy said. "And going off of past experience, I think this will pay dividends for us as a football team."
