    WR Routes

    I am baffled at the routes that our WRs run. Nobody seems to put together any effort to get open. The routes I'm seeing are generally done rather lazily and there's no crispness at all. They go to their spot and stop.

    I don't know if it's the general scheme, coaching or personnel but it's pathetic.
    All hail the Ruler of the Meadow!

    I was thinking the same thing. Cobb jogging in front of a LB just helps the LB keep him covered. WTF?

    Nothing crisp, super soft routes...
    One play Collinsworth said something on a replay to the effect of "watch Cobb with the shake and bake on this route" and then it was pretty underwhelming. No hip snap at all and exact opposite of shake and bake.

    Yep, there is zero urgency in the routes. Looks like they are loafing out there.

    Where is @MattBowen41 when we need him? What percentage of that INT is on Rodgers, and what percentage is on Adams, my man?

    @jasonjwilde Slant-Flat. Throwing to a spot. WR has to get there.

    Robert Brooks was there at halftime. I remember how fast he ran those crossing routes. Quick in and out of breaks, up to full speed in a snap. I dunno what that crap is on the field. And Cobb to boot. Maybe the money was just too sweet.

    He has to run over through that defender to at least get them to call illegal contact. Stop trying to avoid the defender and run your damn pattern.

    Adams needs to go to Walmart and buy a new set of hands.

    It's hard to tell from TV view, but it sure seems like you are right

    They don't run any man beater routes!!!!
    Every route is an isolation route!!!!

    As Tracy Porter told Michelle Tafoya after the game, they know what the Packers offense wants to do!

    Catch a clue you miserable fat fuck McCarthy!!!!!

    Yep the WR can't beat coverage and the coaching staff is doing them no favors. There is little to no motion or bunch formations. The defense is able to easily identify who they are covering.

    McCarthy says Adams "didn't have a very good day today."

    Did anybody follow-up with, "Are you satisfied with Janis's game?"

    and once they lock in, it's not all that hard to cover guys jogging or guys who stop patterns if you give them a little shove.

    Guys like Tracy Porter and Charles Tillman, even being older, are perfect for covering this sluggish bunch.

    You are correct!!! The performance tonight by the WRs was poor.

    I think this team (specifically, the WRs) are mailing it in (just going through the motions, not trying to "make plays").
    They have been MF'ed by the fans, the media and their faggot QB for several weeks now. In addition, the coaching staff is not putting together a game plan that gives them the opportunities to make plays.

    The "quitting on the team" situation is not as bad as the Eagles right now, but I would not be surprised if the Packers get there by the end of the year .... However, it also wouldn't surprise me if the Packers stagger into the playoffs, especially since the NFC is so piss poor awful this year ....
