The Calf

[denverYooper]

He needs to watch some film of Brady and Manning to see how they do it.

He can do it the same way they do it... because he's just as good at processing a defense. His arm is better at this point.

His mobility gives him an extra dimension that those guys don't have but there's a good argument to be made that there is sometimes a cost to his willingness to extend plays.

[King Friday]

I doubt it works in three games against top notch opponents.

Not with McCarthy's regular game plan. We are going to need to use the run game more to pacify the opposing pass rush. Based on Sunday's game, our run game should be able to accomplish that against nearly anyone.

[Tyrion Lannister]

I'm gonna stop you there, this is getting a little creepy. "woody", indeed.

I dunno if this is funny, but here's a joke:

A male cow goes into a bar and buys a female cow a drink...and another and another and another, but not enough to get the female cow passed-out drunk (the male cow ain't no rapist). Afterward, the female cow agrees to go with the male cow back to his barn. In the barn, the male cow gets lucky and hits a home run, consensually. The male cow plants his glorious seed inside the female cow. Weeks later, the female cow gives birth to?....

A calf....To quote texaspackerbacker, hahahahaha

where's your messiah noooowww?

So he said today on his radio show that he thought he "poped" his achillies Sunday, that's why he stayed down so long.

Guess we dodged a bullet there

[ThunderDan]

Little mobility for one half. I doubt it works in three games against top notch opponents. Rodgers needs to be healthy for this run.

I don't know. In 2010 the O-line was a tire fire with the long routes GB ran. MM changed his play calling and went to a more traditional WCO. I like the quicker routes and relying on YAC.

Get healthy, my son.



Get healthy.

He also said its two distinct injuries to the calf. Which actually might be better for healing as a reinsure might take longer overall and the first injury seems to have survived the Lions game intact.

However, if his calf is just going to shred itself over the next month, might make no difference at all.

[Packers4Glory]

He needs enough mobility to be able to move around and extend plays when needed. We can't operate strictly out of the gun. he has to be able to scramble for 1st downs when it's open. and of course he has to be healthy enough to to re-injure it should he have to run.

[Harlan Huckleby]

This injury could easily spoil Packers' playoff hopes. We'll see. I shake my fist at God.

That's better than making deals with Satan. You're making progress.

[Bretsky]

I think we can beat Dallas if he's less than 100%

Seattle need to be mobile to have the 25% chance of winning I give them at Seattle with AROD being healthy

[Pugger]

The calf won't affect him in the pocket.

It will limit his mobility. The Packers can counter that with their run game. Rodgers will need to throw the ball away sometimes. It is a good lesson for him to learn...he's not getting younger and his legs won't be good enough to escape with for too much longer.

If mobility doesn't stop Manning and Brady from winning...why should it stop Rodgers?

If we can get the running game going against the loins we can do that against anybody in the tournament.

Aaron Rodgers on progress of calf injury

Comment woodbuck27:

This was on Jan. 02, 2015.

Rodgers comment on a lot here.

What do we have since on the progress of his calf and ability to move in and out of the pocket?

So how big a lead do you need (and when) to put Flynn in?
