Did Walden really provide more pressure snap in and out than Perry of week one did?
Or was it a product of a tightened coverage scheme in which a large cushion wasn't afforded and the Packers like other teams adjusted to the difference in how the officials were calling the contact in the passing game?
Week one, the Packers were trying to accomplish two things in my opinion, don't get beat over the top (to much respect to Moss mainly) and they were trying to mix the coverage up enough to protect the middle of the field and getting beat by the Niners best weapon in the passing game, Veron Davis.
Week two.. they played a rather basic scheme, but tightened the noose so to speak on the quick throws and yes, like most other teams right now, adjusted to the brand of officiating. My opinion they adjusted too late to save week one.. the Niners didn't they were pushing the envelope so to speak.
So while I think Walden played a very nice game last week, I think some of that flash was a benefit of the change in defensive scheme that allowed the pass rush to get home more. Week one we seen the same type of push, just the Niners could counter it with getting the ball out quick. Perry got dinged and Walden came in an didn't miss a beat.
In other words.. lets see how this plays out before we start stirring the pot on a lineup shuffle.
