More Banjo: Week 3 vs. Denver

New Rodgers theory: Matchups versus Scheme

Scheme calls for 10 targets to Scantron because he is singled up. Adams gets 4 targets. Scantron gets 6 catches, Adams 4.

Rodgers would prefer to invert that by designing Adams open. M4 wants to call the offense and make the read.

Reasonable. I could see this being at least a part of the problem

King hates to tackle. He avoids it at all costs. He gives up chunk plays, but then so does every DB. I just wish his run support was better, and he was willing to hit a guy going over the middle.

he wrecked his shoulders tackling people. if he's avoiding it i haven't noticed but maybe he's been told not to be such a kamikaze.

On the play where a Denver lineman pulled the runner into the end zone on 4th down, I know there is a rule against that, is it ever called?

Rule 12, section 1

"ARTICLE 4. ASSISTING THE RUNNER AND INTERLOCKING INTERFERENCE. No offensive player may:
(a) pull a runner in any direction at any time;
(b) use interlocking interference, by grasping a teammate or by using his hands or arms to encircle the body of a teammate in an
effort to block an opponent; or
(c) push or throw his body against a teammate to aid him in an attempt to obstruct an opponent or to recover a loose ball.
Penalty: For assisting the runner, interlocking interference, or illegal use of hands, arms, or body by the offense: Loss
of 10 yards."

I see it called less and less often, especially the "pushing the pile" variety, because reading the rule, that variety isn't illegal.

Rarely, but that was pretty blatant.
