Richard Rodgers got blasted on the safety play as well. No one on that side save Bulaga had a block worth a damn.
Another (naive?) question for Stubby: If your game plan calls for using the TE's as blockers exclusively, why use the TE's? Why not just let a guy like Lane Taylor be a designated TE for the game...or at least for the Lacy safety play?
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. John Maxymuk, Packers By The Numbers
Adams hasn't had as many opportunities but should definitely be stealing more and more snaps from Boykin. He is only a slight improvement though in that on the rare occasion that he does get open his hands have been reliable.
It's par for course that rookie wide-outs disappoint. I remember Sterling Sharpe struggling out of gate. But I certainly want to see more of him.
I'm not so discouraged by running game. Obviously they tried to squeeze blood out of rock yesterday, should have used more short passes. There were some running lanes, Starks played well, the run blocking has been far worse in recent memory.
I'm not at all discouraged by O-line, I think they will be a strength. The skill players are looking unskilled, lay off the fat guys. (Well, with possible exception of Coach.)

The defense would react to the lack of a skilled, eligible receiver at TE. Meaning coverage would be directed elsewhere.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Didn't JJ Watt catch a TD pass this year? Don't know where he lined up.
Still, even if the defense reacted as you say, in a run situation at least we've got a stout blocker who won't get blasted out so easily.

Oh, you can do it. Belichick went on last week in great detail why he prefers a Tackle at TE over an unbalanced line. And throwing to that tackle is one way to make the D pay for not treating the Tackle like an eligible player. Belichick and Parcells did this for years.
I was simply commenting on why it might not be the first choice.

Belichick and Parcells always seem to think outside the box. It's why I like them and why they are elite coaches.
