Did you all watch the 49ers game?
Alex Smith used his clunky Phillip Rivers type release and wobbled a pass over to Vernon Davis 40 yards down the field and Davis had no one within 8-10 yards of him.
When's the last time you saw Jermichael Finley that open?
It's a 33% knock on Finley, 33% on no running game threat to sell the play action, and 33% on receivers having NO break away speed.
The 9ers threat of a running game, opens up the pass. The threat of Moss opens things up for V.Davis and Crabtree.
There is no major THREAT to the defense like that on the Packers right now.
G. Jennings doesn't scare anyone anymore like Moss.
Finley doesn't scare anyone like V.Davis.
The running game is not bruising like Frank Gore. ONLY Cobb.
All of those non threats result in tight 1 on 1 coverage, nickel packages with DBs clogging throwing lanes, and daring Green Bay to run.
This literally FORCES Aaron Rodgers to play like...well..good old cellphone genital guy. Gunsling it through triple coverage and hope for the best.
Aaron's taking the hit, but he's in his way, calling out his team to raise their games up too.
Fall from Elite is starting to become a good description. From Elite to Very good.
