[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 573547, member: 5830"] It's been well-noted throughout Rodgers ascent into QB eliteness that he typically destroys teams when they blitz. As JBlood pointed out, what he actually seems to struggle with is the four man rush against 8 man coverage. In my simplistic world, a 5 man line should be able to block that so either Rodgers needs to use his legs and scramble for yards or he needs to swing the ball out to the RB releasing into the flat, underneath the coverage. *Edit* I found this on the ESPN website which kind of disproves my statement above, at least against the Bears: [I]"Aaron Rodgers was pressured on just three of his 21 dropbacks against four or fewer pass rushers Sunday. Rodgers went 18-of-20 when facing such pass rushes Sunday, completing his first 11 attempts. - Rodgers was 6-of-6 overall passing 15+ yards downfield Sunday. Five of those completions were against standard pressure. - Rodgers was 10-of-10 targeting Jordy Nelson when facing standard pressure Sunday." [url]http://espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=400554207[/url] [/I] Also on the website is an interesting note about Bears tight ends. I would have thought that Greg Olsen might have caught 100 yards against us: [I]"Martellus Bennett had a career-high 134 receiving yards Sunday. According to Elias, Bennett is the first Bears tight end with at least 100 receiving yards against the Packers since Mike Ditka had 190 yards on November 12, 1961."[/I] [/QUOTE]
