Reply to "Defense Appears Improved, What About AR?"

For many years opposing teams have stated and shown that the plan to defeat Aaron Rodgers is to plaster his receivers and keep him in the pocket. It has often worked. His response was to look for coverage weakness presnap and to extend the play. Often it worked, but often it did not. I agree with those who said that we need high quality receivers that can get open. That requires a higher draft pick. But to do that can also mean lower quality players in other areas. The team has been investing in defense for some time now. This has probably led to some bad habits from Aaron and the team. Scheme can only do so much. The rest is on the players. It’s no wonder that Rodgers loves Adams. He is, right now, the only receiver who can regularly get open on his own. As the others improve so will Rodgers. He needs quality reps with them in order to get the timing down and the offensive line needs quality reps to get the run game going. When the above happens I expect to see the Rodgers of old. Down the road I hope the team picks up some better receivers.
