The other thing about the sacks, I'd be interested to see the final breakdown of the sack stats as to who gets blamed. There were a couple times where I thought Rodgers stepped in to the sack or scrambled the wrong way. Definitely  a couple of those holding calls were on him...he scrambled right past the OLB who would got him had an OL not held. The OL just got burned a few times though, not putting it all on Rodgers. He needs to help them out though.

Interesting. I thought Aaron was scrambling uncharacteristically into trouble yesterday, backwards then outside the pocket, right into the blocked edge rusher. He is normally so good at stepping into the pocket, and it looked on a few of those like he could have done that and kept plays alive. I guess even Aaron had to have been tired from the short week. Plus, SF was bringing heat. They were playing for something, anything to redeem themselves.

 

This was a much tougher game than I thought it would be. I totally agree with you GD on Randall. I think this kid is going to be really good.

Jones doesn't have the speed, and teams are paying a lot of attention to Cobb. That means that Monty, Rodgers, Janis, Abbredaris, and when he comes back Adams- they have to learn this craft. They have to get better at this, because it's a staple of this team's passing game.

 

Love the way they contained Kap in the second half. Ends did a great job not getting walled off by trying to get around the tackles. As the pressure came, Kap has little space to go. He was totally rattled in that game- short-hopping 10 yard throws... that's what pressure does to you. This team is dialing up pressure in every conceivable way, now. It's wonderful.

 

OL has some soul searching to do. Clean it up quickly. Same goes for the team in Madison, btw...

Slowly but surely...Dick Rod is turning into a beast...especially crossing in the back of the end zone.  Dude might end up with 8-10 TD's this season. 

 

When him and Arod get the sneaky seam thing down...watch out.

 

Too bad they missed yesterday.

 

Next time, when we really need it...it will be there, and they will kill it.

Couldn't agree more. Richard Rodgers is going to be a very special player when all is said and done. He and Rodgers formed an early bond, and Aaron just finds him in the end zone. Pretty cool.
