Rodgers "only PR of 107/ Ryan grant gane over after this season/ Secondary/ Pass Rush

[pbmax]

Any word on how he is progressing this season?

He was inactive until the Bronco game which would have coincided with Bulaga's injury. So early, he was the eighth guy (Newhouse/EDS were 6/7 and active). He has been active since due also to Clifton.

But other than that, not much word on his development.

Despite playing less than half time, Jordy Nelson of #Packers has 69 catches for 1,162 yds. and 11 TDs in last 15 games, counting playoffs.

Burnett played fairly well this game, it was Peprah who shat the bed (from my perspective). With the way Finley is dropping easy catches for a few weeks now I really am worrying about his concentration when catching in the middle. He seems to loose it just as the ball gets to him, however when he breaks to outside he catches just fine. Did he get laid out bad a few weeks ago and now is worried?

Obviously they don't want to play him all of the time because he would be much too awesome. I'm guessing the competition committee placed some kind of governor on his usage.

Burnett had a couple of good plays but there were times when both Safeties seemed lost.

Why was Cobb put on a leash this game? Has he botched that many kRs/PRs this season?

Sherrod played extensively at RT in Atlanta when Clifton got hurt, and Newhouse had to move from RT to LT. If Clifton is not back next year, I'd be surprised if Sherrod doesn't beat out Newhouse next year at LT. Or they'll put him at RT and move Bulaga to LT.

He took a couple of shots this year. But he also dropped a out too, I think. It just seems like the mind meld that Rodgers has with Jennings and Nelson is about a foot off with Finley. Two of his balls were tough gets. Add in actual drops and its an issue.

Finley just doesn't catch the ball in his hands all the time, he sloppily lets ball get into his body. Finley is not terrible with the drops, but they have been there his whole career, and I doubt he will get better. Great hands and concentration seems to be an instinct and gift. I think Finley will be a very good, but never great TE because he has average hands.

I wonder how much of that can be coached. The guy is an awesome weapon. I was also thinking we should be seeing more YAC with this guy.

[smuggler]

I think most of Finley's problem has to do with body position after breaks, not hands as much. That should get better at least a little.

I think you are all being a little hard on Finley because he made life a bit difficult for the "Prince" today. Finley had a couple of bad plays, but he makes up for them with great catches, and got the job done in crunch time last night. He is the Packers most versatile weapon and because you all don't like his personality you crap all over him for having 3 drops. I would understand if he had the drops all season long, but it is one game. 30 other teams in the NFL would love to have Finley in their colors and you all can't wait to kick him out of town because he is cocky, and once in a game he dropped three passes. Packer fan at their best.

Another thing lets jump on the defense and worry about how many points they gave up! But yet fail to take into account how the injuries to this defense impacted the score of this game. You can't lose Hawk, Bishop, and then lose Woodson for a quarter in a half and expect this defense to defend. You entered the game with your two best run stuffing linebackers in street clothes, you lose your ballhawk in the secondary and this team has one playmaker left on defense in Clay Mathews who in the second half had three guys blocking him on passing downs. You want to take issue with the defense, then the questions you should be asking is who did Thompson go after in the off-season to improve the pass rush opposite of Clay Mathews? Teams are going to give up yards passing in this league, in bunches if you can't consistently get to the QB, and the Packers have one option at doing that in Clay Mathews.

I think the Packers win out for the regular season, and then the true test will begin when they will have to play the Saints in the playoffs and actually play a decent team from the AFC in the Super Bowl. The Packers have a long road to the Super Bowl regardless of their record. I couldn't honestly put money on the Packers if they would play the Ravens in the Super Bowl.

Yep, he let one ball slide right through both arms and elbows, hit his body and bounce off. Odd for someone with good hands.

I am not sure Prince Amukamara covered Finley much yesterday.

I honestly think Finley is thinking too much about his contract extension and trying too hard instead of just going out and playing the game. This guy was catching two balls at once during training camp and has never had problems with catching in the past.
