[QUOTE="SaltwaterServr, post: 237304, member: 971"] The thing that is going to give your defenSe fits isn't necessarily our receivers being covered by your damn good CB's. The issue your defenSe is going to have is with our running back's and tight end's passing catching ability. Witten is ranked sixth right now in yardage by receivers with 206, but of course he's one of the best TE's in the league. For what it is worth, the next best TE has 70 less yards receiving. What seemed to be our Achille's this preseason, special teams, has been for the most part fixed. Felix Jones was so very close to breaking 2 or 3 more kick-offs for TD's. In week 1 it was our 5th round pick Orlando Scandrick making the plays at CB. This week it was Mike Jenkins knocking away a sure TD pass at the last second. To say we're ultimately excited by our rookies this year would be a grand understatement. I do expect Aaron Rodgers to throw for somewhere between 250 to 290 yards. Our defense is designed to bend and stiffen up in the redzone. Philly's first two offensive drives both ended in field goals. They only had two legitimate offensive drives ending in touchdowns. I expect something along the same lines next Sunday night. When the season started, I thought the only real legitimate tough games we were going to face this season were Green Bay, and Pittsburgh with a loss or two within our division. I'm not so sure about Pittsburgh now, but I still consider Green Bay a shoe-in for the NFC North division winner. [/QUOTE]
