Defenses just didn’t blitz Aaron Rodgers over the years. It’s going to be a different story for the Jordan Love-led Packers in 2023.

I assume this is one of the reasons why Bakh was kept: to help a young QB from getting plastered from defenses bringing the heat.

But yes, give the QB some time in general, and because the Packers really don't have much quality at OT. Right now Bakhtiari, Tom and Nijman, but lose one and there is no tested depth.

It was a little disappointing that they didn't draft an interior guy to try to upgrade over Jake Hanson though.

Rasheed Walker, Caleb Jones, or Luke Tenuta could develop at tackle as well. The latter two are massive (6'7 and 6'8) and if I recall correctly Walker looked relatively good in camp/preseason last year.

Love is a young , mobile QB. All he needs to do is burn a few defenses with his legs and they will have to think twice about blitzing. Love is not an idiot. I'm sure, being as he's a new starting QB, he will be prepared for whatever they throw at him. Hes had 3 years of learning what to expect and will not be caught off guard.

Get that old enema draw going. Run some traps. Let the defense overpursue.

I also think the game tape from the Kansas City game last year will lead people to try to blitz more.

Perhaps this is wishful thinking, but I think our younger (hopefully) shiftier receivers will be able to beat guys on slants when opposing defenses blitz. We had that with Adams, who was tough to jam, but last year our guys had not yet learned to disengage from press coverage.

This year will be hopefully be different.

Anticipation of a tactic is key to the subjugation of the opponent.

Go Packers!!!!

Having the other team blitz more potential could make games more interesting, both ways... as higher chance of a big bad play, or a big good play for the Packers.

Blitzes will also open more one on one deep balls for Watson or Musgrave or whomever they send deep.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
