Exactly!
Because Vernon Davis can cover TE's.
Because Vernon Davis can get pressure up the middle.
Because Vernon Davis can seals the edge.
Because Vernon Davis can fix everything wrong with the defense!

The Packers seemed to find out what worked for them... but they found it too late. Best part of this, was Rodgers looked like his old self in the 2nd half... and I still blame Mike McCarthy for not going for it on one of the 4th downs... especially on the 4th and 2... when it's possible Rodgers could of got someone off to come off sides.

And I still believe Rodgers attempts the voice trick too often... I think mixing it up is better... don't do it at all a couple of times and just plain snap it, which get defenders on edge and when they're on edge they're more likely to jump on the fake.

Welker has signed with the Rams

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

On defense, our main problems seem to still be covering the middle of the field and tight ends. This has been an issue for the past three years. I don't think CM3 has the coverage skills to routinely win those match ups and Hyde does not have the size. I'm not sure what the solution is. Schematically, Capers needs to start scouting screens more because we are routinely getting skilled on 3rd and long.

On offense, the offensive line play has not been up to par. Additionally, our injuries at WR have really decimated our passing game. Having Davonte Adams (a legitimate starting WR) back should help. Cobb is my favorite Packer but he cannot routinely beat double teams or defenses designed to slow him down. Additionally, Eddy Lacy needs to get in shape. I don't care how the Packers PR wants to spin it, his weight is negatively affecting his play and propensity for ankle injuries.

Seems like some posters brought up the coverage inside linebacker position and the tight end position as major oversights of our overrated GM in the draft and free agency period, and they were rudely belittled by all the statistics majors in the forum. After all, there were no holes in a team that had pissed away the NFC championship game the previous year.
