Pass Offense

1st 3rd down, Rodgers recognizes it's man coverage and goes to the stacked formation to create some separation for the crosser. This first down is all scheme and brain.

2nd series.. Again, Rodgers see's it's man, calls the crosser. Sexy.

Rodgers recognizes blitz man, brings in Williams for protection and hits the, you guessed it, crosser. This is still the 2nd drive.

This might be what Rodgers was talking about in the “hashing out” of the offense that he and MLF went through in the off season. He’s spent the last umpteen years throwing bubble screens and hitches and out patterns (watch the Cowboys offense if you’re feeling nostalgic). Meanwhile those crossing patters against man coverage have been the main killers against the Packers defense for years- and you never saw it from the offense.

Brady, Brees, now Mahomes... these guys are making a living off these “impossible to cover everyone” routes while Rodgers has been running around in the backfield buying time for receivers jogging around in the secondary. Now this Packer offense looks like all these other offenses we’ve seen gash the Packers defense- with a trigger man who is better than all of them reading, reacting, and anticipating what the defense is doing. 

We’re finally going to get a chance to see what Rodgers can do with weapons and scheme on his side. I’ll bet the DCs all over the NFL are cringing at the idea that Rodgers finally has been unleashed. And because he’s getting rid of the ball faster than we’ve seen ever, he’ll have a chance to be healthy for all 19 games...
