[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 523938, member: 2232"] People often use the cliche that "injuries aren't an excuse". I always disagree because I think they ARE often totally valid REASONS/FACTORS. Obviously nobody can replace guys like Rodgers or Matthews or Finley or Cobb on this team, or any team. Backups behind them are never gonna be as bad as the starters. This kick return and kick coverage unit were bad to begin with. I noticed this from the get go: On the occasions where the kick returner actually was able to return the kick (because many now are touchbacks), I noticed our return guy would usually get smashed into by around the 15-yard line..... one, two, three guys would flood in there that fast and whallop our guy. Flipside was when their guys would take one out of the end zone, they'd usually run free until the 20-yard line or further, before any one of our guys would crash thru the blocking wall. I wasn't imagining this. I paused, rewound, replayed it a dozen times. And the starting field position is indicative of this. I think it goes along with the general theme of these "defense" being soft, not physical. It's not only the [URL='http://packersinsider.com/?p=6087'][B]pathetic tackling of the defense[/B][/URL]. It's special teams as well. [/QUOTE]
