Rodgers To Jennings: Touchdown!

by Brandon on Jun 10, 2010 11:00 AM CDT in Green Bay Packers Analysis

While QB Aaron Rodgers was critical of a bunch of ESPN's talking heads, Matt Bowen was putting together a great article on how to beat the 2-man coverage defense by using a TD pass from Rodgers to WR Greg Jennings as an example. If nothing else, follow the link to watch the video. It's been a while since I've watched a TD pass.

I remember at the time thinking how easy they made it look. And Bowen does a good job of showing how the Packers executed the perfect play, along with a perfect pass from Rodgers, to make it look much easier than it was.

Wow, what a play! I read this article yesterday I think, and have been reading a lot of Bowen’s coverage breakdowns. All of them are quite interesting actually.

I still remember this play like it was yesterday though. And unfortunately, I still remember someone trying to say that Rodgers throw on this play was lucky! LOL.

Haha no actually! I think it may have been Jarlsberg.

Bowen

Loved that play!!! Great example of the Packers scheming for a specific coverage and the perfect play call vs it… Jennings on Timmons is a no-brainer! Still was an absolutely PERFECT throw by Rodgers and terrific concentration by Jennings.

Drivers flag route is what opened up the middle of the field, he pulled the safety out wider than he wanted to get and it gave the Rodgers to Jennings just enough room.

Been reading Bowen stuff for awhile now… Really good writer and insight into the game from a players perspective!
