All 22- Hawks Playoff Win

That call on Lazard was stupid. Since it was zone all he had to do was keep running and the DB was gonna stick with him.

Love the tight end on Kenny Clark’s run stuff..he wanted no part of trying to block him and instead went over to chat with Z..

SECOND QUARTER

Sweet play design, both LB's go with Jones and Jesus. Adams has a ton of green on right side.

First RPO of the game. Not your traditional slant or hitch. MLF is winning.

Bad Rodgers shows his face for the 1st time. Hawks send pressure but it gets picked up. Rodgers doesn't trust it and makes an awkward throw to Adams who is covered. If he has poise he has Tonyan or Jones underneath. We get bailed out with the PI call.

2nd n 1 at the 6 yard line. MLF calls 3 runs to the left side and Jones gets home. It was a 4 play sequence, run left for 5, touch pass to Adams that was incomplete, run left stuffed, run left TD. These clips shows the 2 good runs. I fucking love that MLF stuck with the strength down here and jammed it home on 3rd down. You know MM loses his cool and calls a pass.

2nd n 4, Hawks driving and in scoring position. Angry Bald man dials up the pressure and Goodson forces Russ in the arms of Smith. The sack pushes the Hawks back and they miss a long FG attempt.

1st play after the missed FG, Swirvin Ervin for 18. Couple nice blocks but this is mostly the kid showing open field ability.

Back in the redzone. 2nd and 10 and back to the ground game. Jones gets 9 and Rodgers QB sneak for a couple on next play to pick up 1st down.

Next play in the series is Jones up the gut for a tough yard. On 2nd and goal from the 1, yet another run call and Jones gets stuffed. 3rd n 1, does he have the fortitude to stick with it? No.. incomplete pass to Gmo, but the Hawks were offsides. Re-do, and MLF knows what to do.

Look at the pile that Jenkins, Bahk and Lewis make...  All 3 men on the ground.

Packers stop the Hawks on next drive, watch this Clark hustle sack, and we go the half up 21 to 3.

Great stuff man.  Thanks for sharing. That 5th play of opening drive was very similar to the key 1st down GMO clearing out the middle for Graham.  

That "Bad Rodgers" pass to Adams I though was just him liking the 1 on 1 matchup that Adams had and trusting he was going to win it. If he wasn't impeded he might catch that pass. 

I think if he trusts his blitz pickup he can make a better choice.  It wasn’t a horrible read, but you can clearly see he doesn’t trust it and throws based on matchup only, not if Adams had won or not.  He wasn’t willing to take another second and possibly take a hit.  If he trusts the pass pro he had an option to come off Adams and find Jones with space to work. 

It worked out, but not ideal watching him bail instantly.

I probably won’t get to the 2nd half until Wednesday. 

On the first TD pass even if AR pump fakes to Adams, Allison had nobody within 10 yards of him after the fake rub and he just walks in so they can come back to that play at some point knowing that is there and take whichever is more open.

Safety was in the middle at the goal line, so not a given Allison would've scored. Adams had a free run to the pylon.

Also, not a given GMO makes the catch. Trust...

Agree they can come back to that, maybe with MVS.

"1st play after the missed FG, Swirvin Ervin for 18."

I like this Ervin guy and how he protects the ball. He's a keeper!

I love the way MLF is using Ervin. Another scrap heap find helping the team. Hope he's back next year.

Davante Adams is the best WR left in the playoffs -- Feed the Davante

I totally believe that the right play was made. I was just noticed how desperate they were to get back to Adams that they completely forgot about the GMO. Totally seeing them at some point using the set up to do different things.

AR + DA were fully locked in Sunday.  

The run to Ervin was also successful because Rodgers was filthy with his ball-handling. He totally hid the ball after the fake handoff and timed the toss perfectly. Rodgers doesn't get enough praise for how he handles the ball. 

On the Jones TD where Bak, Jenkins, and Lewis crush the D, that one play earned Lewis his paycheck. He was a bulldozer. I also liked that MLF went to that side, but didn't trust just Bak and Jenkins, but added Lewis. I bet we see that same play again inside the five. 

The TD where Adams and Gmo fake the rub was a play they had just put in. Brilliant play by MLF -- just make the DBs hesitate enough to wonder if it's a rub or not and get that little window of separation... Such a little tweak turns a common play into a brand new move. 

Unscouted January look.  

Next time they will actually run the rub.

Maybe Linsley will change his question next time.

Well, now the point for SF becomes, Are they running the rub or not? And which receiver is the primary? It makes the DBs hesitate just a little bit and that's the window Rodgers needs to hit to Adams or Gmo or whoever is running it.
