Something stood out on the Packers’ first two offensive drives during Saturday’s night game versus the Seahawks: the Packers were going awfully pass-heavy. The result? Two routine scoring drives that both resulted in touchdowns. Now, Seattle’s pass defense is nothing special, but the Packers’ offense made it look like they could have done it in their sleep.
With a healthy and stable offensive line, there’s no reason why Mike McCarthy shouldn’t have experimented with this approach. It’s no secret that Aaron Rodgers is playing at MVP level and Jermichael Finley’s game is headed toward greatness. Should the Packers make like the 2009 Colts and abandon the running game?
In this episode: "Preseason Game 2 - Sharpening the Ax."
Pre season game number 2 is in the books with a 27-24 victory against the Seahawks. A few quick observations:
- Aaron Rodgers is so sharp right now, he looks ready to challenge Tom Brady for TD passes and passer rating in a season. He is on fire.
- Good running by Ryan Grant a week after a concussion
- Finley and Rodgers are unstoppable
- Greg Jennings is really good.
- The cushion defense of the Packers this preseason is getting really annoying.
- The lack of a pass rush is even more annoying. Nobody is getting close.
- Breno Giacomini: pack your bags. You just got cut because of this game. Absolutely terrible.
- Bryan Bulaga: I was wrong. You are a starter this season. At Left Guard.
