  1. Stating the obvious.

  2. Only meanigfull infor this adds is that the problem was not so much the cover 2 but no being able to handle a pass rush of 4. Jones claims he and other were open, but no time to see. Course most WR believe they are always open

  3. I would say, due to the lack of confidence in his current O line, ARodg has developed a bit of tunnel vision, and you cant blame him...but, it should now be plenty obvious to Clements and MM that a change in strategy is in order and if the Line looks as porous on Sunday as it did last week you have to give Barclay a shot at RT just to see what happens...we have waited 3 or 4 years for EDS to grow into a role and its looking as if Center will be his only shot in the NFL...ARodg certainly must look to other guys than Cobb or more designed roll outs need to be called, there has not been much of a pocket to throw from, but getting sacked and-or losing the ball is as bad or worse than an INT...I dont believe for a minute that he is worried about his stats, he just hates turning the ball over in general, but it is time for changes to be made in some key areas, Scheme, Timing and maybe Personnel...

  4. Quarless would help in both the run game and keeping Aaron upright by helping out Newhouse. Findley is a bust as a blocker and when he's on the field it is a strong key for the opposing D a pass play is forget run and go cover 2.

    Crabby is ok as a blocker but Quarless is their best TE at it. What is his status? If he could pick up where he left off it could make for an easier decision to let the self anointed "Mr. Fantastic" Findley and his mouthy agent go to a team foolish enough to overpay him.

  5. I'm very glad that we have James Jones. Same with Jordy Nelson. However, something has been revealed this season: Neither really knows that well how to work the middle of the field. Sure, they can get open downfield, but defenses are geared to protect against the Packers vertical attack. Finley is lost. Jennings is out. The Packers have not attacked the middle of the field to pull the safeties up. When the safeties come up to defend the middle, things loosen deep. (Yes, running the ball helps too). Jones is a big receiver. Nelson is huge. These are guys that should be able to work crosses and slants, but they have not. Maybe its play calling or a weakness in the player's game.

  6. Jones statements are revealing - guys are "open" if they can just protect Rodgers...but they can't protect Rodgers, so guys really aren't open. They are not "open" if the QB is on his back. That is why the playcalling must change and why the coaches have to stop thinking people are actually "open", when they aren' least when they play teams that have a good pass rushing front four.

  7. They will leave Rodgers for dead before hiring an O-line coach apparently.

  8. I have it on good authority that 1/2 the Giants were on Adderall and the other 1/2 were downing Viagra. I think the NFL should investigate. And I am convinced Cutler is taking something - just not quite sure what

  9. Next up the dreaded Vikings. We never play these guys good. Here or there. I hope they blitz ponder 90% of the time and we should win pretty easily. If they let him get off then there will probably be some new superstar you never heard of on thier roster to emerge and Peterson will have a buck eighty. With that scenario we loose by about 17.The funny thing about the vikings is they have no talent on offense at all besides AP. Ponder is a bust. On D they can be good up fron but thier backfield is very poor. I look forward to watching a whole game. Kudos to you who stayed for the second half of the Giants debacle.
