Packers against QBs that can run

[Verge]

So far this year, they have faced three quarterbacks with running abilities, they have struggled mightily and clearly do not have someone on the defense that can spy.

 

Three running quarterbacks:

26 carries, 168 yards, 6.4 YPC.

Cam and Mike Shula are most likely licking their chops watching the tape.

 

Not to mention, the last three games versus the running attack in general, it looks like this:

90 carries, 409 yards, 4.5 yards a carry. If you take away a terrible Chargers running attack it looks a lot better. We should be running on them all game long.

 

They are also one of the worst teams in covering good receiving tight ends, they haven't been able to contain them all season long. This matchup is very good for us and we can win it if we avoid turnovers and keep A-Rod on edge.

I like the sound of this. Lets run it down their fuging throat.

I said it earlier in the week. Win the turnover battle, control TOP, and pressure Rodgers, we win.

Also, expect Cam to go off in a big way. I'm expecting an absolutely terrific day for him, barring dropped passes plaguing us. Just a gut feeling, no real rhyme or reason. I'm not at all worried for us defensively, I think we'll survive just fine on that front and be able to contain their offense so long as the offense keeps our defense off of the field for extended periods of time. If we can average 5 minute drives this game, man that'd be huge. That's assuming we get about 2.5 possessions per quarter. With GB not having the greatest rushing attack, we may get 3-4 possessions per quarter even. If that happens, that means our defense is getting 3 and outs consistently throughout the game, which means we have to maximize our possessions and get points. Get 2 TDs up and I am fine with field goals, because our defense is going to play out of it's mind this game. Gotta think they have a bad taste in their mouth with Luck moving the ball like he did in the 4th and OT.

I recall Capers having trouble with mobile QBs when he coached here too.

[Paa Langfart]

They didnt have much trouble with us last year.  Just sayin.

I would say that Green Bay has watched tape on us and will be ready for our running game.  Now, we should still run, but with some new schemes.

That's because we were down 21-0 before we even got off the plane thanks to Godfrey, Cason and Decoud.

Dom Capers is a trash coach btw. 

[PandaPancake]

What about against QBs that can do the Lambeua leap?

[Jaxel]

We need to "come right in their mouths", as they say . . .

[USCGuardsman]

The game plan really does need to be "run the damn ball", but I will lose my facilities if they come out and just continue to run three straight up the gut and out in three. Yes, you need to run the dive to keep them honest, they just could use a little more creativity in how they call the counters, tosses and draws. I remember when Stew and Williams both rushed for over 1K, it was because they were able to pop it outside and take advantage of the over pursuit from the DE. With that said, I know that DE's are a lot less likely to over pursue with Cam and his running ability, but there has to be a way to create opportunities on the edge. I also know Stew is a power runner, but he does have good speed and vision. Just babbling.... Don't mind me.

Kap has traditionally destroyed the Packers defense with his feet. This year is an obvious exception.
