On the offensive side of the ball we HAVE to be prepared for the Zone Blitz in passing situations. That means leaving backs and tight ends in protection-they can release if it does not come to their side. Hope you guess right and ocasionally run the ball in passing situations-if you catch them on an overload to one side you can break some big ones. Defensively we BLITZ like crazy and generate some pressure. I know Rodgers will burn us on occasion but if you sit back in coverage he will carve you up like a Thanksgiving turkey. I'd rather go after him. And lastly throw caution to the wind! Go for it on 4th and shorts, run reverses, throw everything you can at them-why not-we have nothing to lose!

I want to see Cam be a little more free running... if they do a lot of blitzes or rush 3, cover 8, let him run more and make them play it.

Overall though, with the offense, the only thing that didn't work as well as I'd expected was the running backs. If Dwill and Stewart break out, that'll only make Cam's job easier.

I know they did work yesterday, but CJ and Hardy are going to need to contain. Rodgers can pull those backyard football plays out of his ass for those 20+ yarders.

I think we still rely on the pass as much as the run; Ingram is a lot like Stewart and got stuffed on a lot of plays last week.

Offense: The performance yesterday was amazing but there are a few questions that I have and hopefully we will see in the next few games.

1. O-line- People have ragged on the oline a lot, but we need to remember that this is the first time they have been together in a long time. Otah was rusty. And definitely Hangartener was new to this whole system. Expect our rushing to improve by mid year if we have some continuity. Adjustments: Blitz pick-up and starting off with an attitude. I think they looked timid and not mean and nasty.

2. RBs - We have redesigned our offense around Cam which is going to be a good thing. Right now we are playing to his strengths which is the shotgun. This also limits our running to lots of draw plays and screens. When Cam is under center Arizona expected run and clogged the line. This opened up the deep pass but killed our running game. Adjustment: Better designed screen passes out of the shotgun and under center a few deep passes in the beginning of the game to keep the defense honest.

Defense:

1. Aggressiveness: I am not talking about McDermott as much as the players. Our Lbs and Safety's bite on play action quite a bit and can over pursue. I think we need to protect our lanes a little better especially because Rodgers will definitely take advantage of this. Adjustment- Unfortunately we can't have it both ways. When we lack talent(or experience) up front we have to be aggressive to over compensate for that. We just need more aggressiveness from the dline moreso than the LBs and Safety's

2. Mental Errors. Mental errors killed us. We are adjusting to a new scheme and this is going to happen but we need to make sure that these mental errors don't make us give up these huge plays. Adjustment: Keep playing and study that playbook!

Overall the keys to the game against the Packers:

1. More balanced offense

2. Defense...hmmm damn Rodgers is good. I'd say we need to do better on 3rd downs. I know that is vague but honestly what can you do against him?

      Canales is holding us back

      I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme

      You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
