Dolphins knew audibles, but forgot about Aaron Rodgers

How many quarterbacks could've done what Rodgers did?

Why a team would keep the same audibles for a whole season little alone for several seasons doesn't even make sense. Teams from the same division will pick them up after a few times.

Based on some of the jumps the d-linemen were getting, it definitely looked like they knew the snap count Rodgers was using as well.

I understand taking your time, making pre-snap reads and protection calls -- but mix it up a bit. Don't keep snapping it with a second left.

I wonder, though, how much of the late snaps were Rodgers needing time to adjust to the checks the D was making off his audibles.

We are getting far more sophisticated. Jerry Kramer used to tell the opposing defense we were running our sweep and there is nothing they could do to stop it.

We are practically CIA operatives in comparison. 😆 As a fellow sod-buster from Wisconsin, I like to keep things simple.

(To the younger generation, a sod-buster is virtually identical to a red-neck, but has no hills. )

We still do self-effacing humor here, or no?

And the Dolphins RDE got one GREAT jump based off the snap coming when Rodgers foot hit the ground (or at least that's what the announcer said).

One of my favorite plays is when Favre knew a vet CB knew a certain audible... and he told the WR, ignore the audibles on this snap... so he signaled an audible of a slant route and the CB aggressively tried to jump the route when Favre pumped faked it... and the WR did as instructed and ignored the audible and ran the called go route for an easy TD as the CB broke on the fake slant.

As far as the Dolphins today -- I definitely took notice. I might be missing something -- and I know there's a ton that A-Rod does before the line -- but I don't see why you'd want to give a good pass rushing team any advantage. If you snap the ball with one second left, there's little guesswork.

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2
