Packers Offensive Season Review: First Quarter

in the preseason he got alot of penatlties, didn’t block all that well, and also lost his job to a roookie tackle who was playing guard for his first time in his life. Lang has done a good job in both run and pass blocking, and I havent’ seen a whole lot of false starts (but I’ve only see 2 of the games because I live in florida).

Mainly because of Finley. Dude’s a beast and he demands that opposing defenses prepare for him. His play opens up our WR’s.

I would like to see Crabtree released.

I’m not sure where you are going with saying James Jones was at fault for both of Rodgers’ interceptions this year. Now you could say one since the interception for the Bronco game was intended for him. The pass was a little high, but Jones should catch it. Really those things happen.

The first interception though had NOTHING to with James Jones at all. First of all the pass was intended for Jermichael Finely. Second the play was made by Urlacher who just made a phenominal play. Urlacher fooled Rodgers and hid in his coverage and then made a great play on the ball (one that very few MLB’s in this league make).

Now Jones hasn’t been an all pro, but he’s been good for what little the Packers have asked him to do so far.

I’m willing to cut Marshall Newhouse a bit more slack than you it sounds like. So far we’ve seen a game and a half from him. When he stepped in for Bulaga against Chicago he held his own. He did so against a very good Bears D-line and even held his own the handful of times he went against Julius Peppers. Peppers has been reverting to playing when he wants to play mentality, but it is going to be tough to find a better D-lineman in this league.

After doing a good enough job against the Bears he got his first start against another great pass rusher in Von Miller. Miller is a rookie, but he’s tied for fifth in the league for sacks and leads rookies in sacks as well. Basically, Miller isn’t your average rookie and looks to have a promising career in front of him. Newhouse struggled against him, but generally did okay.

Overall, I would give Newhouse a positive grade as a result of the moderate expectations for him as a backup having to step up and the stiff competition he’s faced.

…aside from Brady and Brees.

I mean, seriously.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

Right now, I would give you Brady, for what he has already accomplished, though I believe it will end up differently once Rodgers is done.

But, you would have to show me some serious,
undeniable, overwhelming, indisputable evidence
to convince me that he isn’t better than Brees.

and going forwrd, I would take Rodgers over Brady and/or Brees in a heartbeat!

who postulate that the reason why Grant did so well in Week 3,
and Starks did not, was because, in a reversal of roles,
Grant ran out of the I, while Starks ran from the shotgun.

The offense sure has been coming through. Not surprised though.
Of course, Rodgers and his WR’s have been great so far, and Rodgers has just been an unstoppable force.

i’ve heard, the more you write, the better you get, so thanks for putting up with me :-)

Welcome to the 2011 Green Bay Packers offense! Let’s all sit back and watch what may end up being considered one of the top five talented and productive offenses of the past decade. No discussion or analysis necessary — just make sure there is a nice soft landing spot for your jaw as you watch Aaron Rodgers tear up one defense after another.

Now, the defense, on the other hand, needs a much longer post…

Has he redeemed himself yet? He was out of his MIND last night in that game.
