Green Bay's pass defense

[1989]

...they gave up 419 yards through the air last week. Another big game from Cam and Smitty?

If we can effectively pass on them like we did against Arizona and like New Orleans did to Green Bay- with a good rushing game and a slightly improved defense we could win this one and shock the world.

Here's to hoping!

Go Panthers...cant wait till Sunday!

You know who the opponent was, dont u?

We'll be facing a whole nother level of defensive play. Let's hope the O line is ready to give Cam the opportunity to make a play. RBs need to pick up the blitz well too. *crosses fingers*

The way we beat green bay or have a chance..is if we establish a consistent running game, something Rivera said wasn't far off during his press conference.

Here's to hoping as well!

It's up to our offensive line.

all the more reason Stewart and LaFell should see more time on the field.

Capers is a genius with the linebacker blitz. I don't have a whole lot of confidence in our O-line picking them up. The Cardinals were blitz happy, but they don't compare to the Packers' defense.

I expect Chud to be ready for the packers LB blitzing. So expect alot of screens..possibly WR screens to smitty, quick passes to TE's also. Its going to be a tough one though.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Green Bay back off the blitz and rush 3 while putting 8 in coverage baiting Newton to run or throw into an interception. They will likely blitz somewhat but given how well Newton did against Arizona, I am not sure the all out blitz is a good idea. Even in collge, Newton was better when teams blitzed than when they didn't. If it were me I would play zone and make him fit the ball in tight windows and keep everything in front of me.

I think he'll throw for at least 250 yards and run for 50.

They have a pretty good LB coach as well. :D

Skip Bayless said something on ESPN today that made sense in that Arizona basically provided teams a blueprint for how not to defend Cam. He said teams will look at that tape and decide to not blitz, but rather drop more guys into coverage and make him read the defense.

However, if that happens out run game is going to have a chance to do very well. Nice to finally have a QB who defenses have to account for.

[Chimera]

Our running game didn't do much against Arizona, but putting 8 in coverage against our running backs would be suicide.

I think they'll chalk up Cam's performance as a fluke and follow a similar blueprint as the Cardinals.
