I think Green Bay actually does a damn good job protecting on blitzes (or, at least they did last year). Things, however, continue to break down against four man rush scenarios. I was also there last night and being in person really shows just how spread out the Colts front four is on third down. The DEs are lined up 2-3 yards outside the tackles.
Green Bay struggles against the four man pass rush because even with four receiving targets the defense has seven in coverage. Think about the troubles Tampa gave us a few years ago -- or how Chicago always seems to limit our point production. Those teams all run Cover 2 defenses and rely on their d-line to bring the pressure.
Part of this falls on Rodgers. In my opinion the third sack (if I'm remembering correctly) was partially due to holding the ball a bit long. I think Rodgers could do better sometimes to take the easier underneath pass rather than look for something downfield.
Overall, though, Sitton's assessment of it seems pretty accurate. They had some nice sustained drives and they didn't finish. Maybe it's the hurry up, but still -- no excuse. And while we are on the subject of offensive line performance, they all collectively have to do better with the run. There was just nowhere to go last night. (I believe Alex Green's 8-yard run in the 3rd quarter was their longest). Grant didn't have anywhere to go on most of his carries.
side note: don't expect us to run hurry up to the extent that we did last night. I think it was a gameplan situation where they want to familiarize themselves as much with it before the season starts.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.
