The running game is wonderful. However its magical ability to improve pass protection has been in awfully short supply. This is going to continue to be a problem.

ya, how many years have we heard that pass protection would be so much better if they only had a legitimate running game? In reality, it seems to have gotten worse. What may occur is the re-emergence of big plays, like the TD to Nelson. That shouldn't be confused with good pass protection, should it?Originally posted by pbmax View PostComment

We have argued whether or not it's the OL or the RB that causes the biggest improvement in the rushing game.
When it comes to pass protection per se, I think the burden of responsibility still falls mainly on the OL. Tactics merely makes the task of the OL a bit easier at times.One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

To his credit. McCarthy hasn't had as many empty backfields recently though there were plenty early in this season. That has to help a little.
Rodgers is simply very comfortable holding the ball waiting for something to open up if his initial read is not good. That makes his O line's job quite hard. If the O line from 2010 was here with this running game, we might notice a difference because they already excelled at pass pro.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

I was just looking at NFL.com
GB is 2nd in total offense per game at 450.2 ypg
GB is 4th in passing at 309.4 ypg
GB is 5th in rushing at 140.8 ypg
GB is 5th in points per game at 27.4But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Maybe the offense as a whole, the passing game specifically and Rodgers individually are not as broken as it feels they are watching them.Originally posted by ThunderDan View PostComment

Yeah, looking at P Manning so far this year and Denver everyone else's offense looks broken.Originally posted by Patler View Post
Even after what felt like a shitty game for ARod he was second in the league for passing yards last week.But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

They do not seem to be getting points at the rate you expect, but since they have played only 5 games they are in the Top 10 in scoring. Rk (Rank) is for total point, list is sorted by Avg Pts/game.

San Fransisco, Cincinnati, Detroit, and Baltimore all have pretty good defenses, and all can put on a strong 4 man rush -- frequently a problem for the GB offense, and sometimes a huge problem. Cleveland also has a good defense.Originally posted by Patler View PostWhen the going gets weird, the weird turn pro ~Hunter S.Comment
