GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It was like the Green Bay Packers were back in San Francisco, circa January 2013, last Sunday in South Florida.

Only this time it was Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill -- not Colin Kaepernick of the 49ers -- who fooled the Packers with the read-option play.

It was really only one option play -- OK, maybe two or three -- that fooled the Packers this time. But when Tannehill ran for 40 yards on a second-and-5 play in the third quarter, it left outside linebacker Clay Matthews looking just as fooled as Erik Walden was by Kaepernick in that playoff loss.

Cam Newton is going to tear the Packers a new one with that read option business. Especially if Brad Jones is on the field.

I thought the Packers sent their coaching staff to some college in Texas to learn how to defend against the read option.
Apparently they didn't learn much.

Watch for Hyde or Burnett to spy Newton.

Certainly the Packers need to brush up on stopping the read option; Hopefully B. Jones won't see the field and leave his jockstrap there like last week; However, I'd be surprised if Carolina let Cam run very much. He may or may not be recovered from his injury, but for sure, they are gonna not want him to risk re-injury.

I'm honestly as worried about Clay Mathews as anyone else. He's going to get burnt repeatedly. He plays with little discipline.

That's so true! And Newton is a BIG guy. Not easy for even a good tackler. And our D, other then Ha Ha have missed too many tackles this year.
If they can't keep containment on Cam, it could be a long day.
We need to get up at least 14 points early, and force Carolina to pass.

Battle of the MLBs to stop the run. On their side Luke Kuechly on ours Brad Jones. Like Tyson vs that guy that was in that commercial getting knocked out by a pizza. Cam is gonna kill us. We better take advantage of their weak secondary because I have no confidence we'll stop someone with the skillset of Cam after Ryan Tannehill made us look terrible with his legs.

I think it's even simpler than spying on the QB... you just take the backside edge guy (OLB in this case) and tell him to go attack the QB until they're sure the QB doesn't have the ball.... that's what happen last week when the Packers went for play action and it failed because the back-up DE attacked the QB (and didn't bite on the run action) and was in Rodgers face when he turned around and just lunched it not to take the hit.... I'm trying to remember, he got intentional grounding on that play right?

Now if the back side edge guy is targeting the QB like I suggested above then someone behind him has to come up for containment on the backside or possible runs or the RB will just go to the backside (or they'll call a counter) but this is how I think most (like the Ravens) handle stopping the read option. Front side attacks the RB, backside attacks the QB... and new containment guy for the backside to stop the RB from sneaking out the back.

The problem has been the Packers have either had their OLB playing to keep the containment, or the backside has been attacking the RB when they think it's a run, and we love it when Matthews catches the RB from the backside for a lost, but that over aggressiveness on the RB burned him when going against read option (and did last week on one play).
