Niners Wanted To Make Rodgers Look Bad

[falco]

i was a little surprised by how much the 49ers blitzed and schemed, normally preseason is much more vanilla

Florio and his speculator/source missed an opportunity to go for the bankshot conspiracy theory, though. Nolan might not have wanted to be embarrassed by former employee. Especially one who took his team to the NFC Championship game while Nolan was still busy finding a replacement O coordinator.

The speculation makes alot of sense but teams do blitz in the preseason. That's not a real unusual event. I can see where Rodgers tearing them up could make them look stupid. In the end, I would guess they are working on things, getting ready for the season like every other team.

either way, you won't catch MM or anybody with the packers organization complaining about it - they stunk up the joint, no excuses

Rastak, you seem very close to endorsing a line of thinking that suggests there are shades of grey in our reality and that nothing is ever as simple as a binary choice of who to assign blame to; Rodgers/McCarthy/Thompson or Favre.

I don't think there is any room on the intertubes for that kind nuanced, perceptive and open minded thinking. For shame.

Good for Rodgers! No vanilla please; our QB has no NFL starts and needs the experience. Back on the horse and get better.

What I was thinking. 49ers sent 6 men at Rodgers on his first drop back. He also showed he could take a hit(like 8 of them). Just want to limit how many more he takes. Please fix the OL.

[RashanGary]

What I thought was weird was that he'd drop back and look to be ready to release the ball, but he'd just stop as if the route was jumped. This happened probably 5 or 10 times.

Whatever SF was doing, Rodgers thought based on the defense one thing would be open (based on him looking to be unloading) and when the ball was snapped, that one thing was covered (based on him holding on to the ball rather than letting it go).



Rodgers did start off pretty well except for the drops but after that he did not have time to complete any of the deeper patterns. I'll have to go back over it, but my guess is that SF was jumping short routes and the OL was making it impossible for the deep routes to develop. The one positive thing of this whole disaster is that I have a feeling thier OL experiments will be over. I have a feeling that whoever they think the starting OG's and OC are will be on the field this week, all week and they will be there until the regular season opener.

Here's a comment from an NFL scout on the 49ers blitzes before the PFT comment appeared :

"The 49ers threw a lot of stuff at him. Too much for an exhibition. They were really trying to make plays."

[Pacopete4]

the one that ticked me off was the corner blitz that he didn't see... thats something he needs to improve on is seeing stuff at the line of scrimmage and making changes to the play to be able to put himself in a successful play

I have a suggestion, how about they go back to the lineup they used at the end of the year least year?

I beg to differ.

“There were a lot of mental mistakes on offense at every position,” Rodgers said. “Myself, I made some poor decisions.

“I think when you’re facing a defense that plays multiple fronts you have to be good with communication and I don’t think we communicated as well as we wanted to coming into the game. I think the receivers, there were some mental mistakes as well.”

I'm really starting to get concerned with Rodgers' habit of criticizing his teammates in every interview. Talk about yourself and let the coach evaluate the rest of the team. If he keeps this up he's going to lose the respect of his teammates.
