Packers Offensive Coordinator Joe Philbin wants to address two issues from last season, points and sacks.
“We have to be a lot more consistent. Too many games under 10 points. We had consistent points production in 2009. We score 45 against the Giants, and then we score 10 against the Bears,” Philbin said. “And we have to protect our quarterback. We’ve got to get into the 20s (in sacks). He’s taking too many sacks.”
The Packers scored 10 points or fewer three times in 2010. In one of those games, of course, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was lost early to a concussion.
Protecting the quarterback is the mission of every offense. In Green Bay, it’s especially important because the quarterback is Super Bowl MVP Rodgers, who was sacked 31 times last season.
How important is it? Well, with Rodgers, the Packers are the preseason favorite to return to the Super Bowl. Without him?
