The lions have a strong dline; everybody knows that. ANY offensive line is rolling the dice if they want to try to throw deep balls against three legit non-bust top ten picks on the dline. Our oline will never be so good that Rodgers will have all day to sit back against the lions. What we need is for Rodgers and McCarthy to do the boring stuff of a little slant here and a screen there and then a zone run and rinse and repeat and then, maybe when we're moving the ball and have the defense guessing a bit we can try a deep ball. I always hated how Favre would just wing the damned ball around and now Rodgers won't take the short throw or throw the damned thing away. If he plays smart and takes incompletions instead of sacks the whole game would have gone better and the oline wouldn't have looked so bad. When you take a sack and it's thrid and long then you're giving the defense a gift because then they know what's coming and they're really, really good at rushing with just four.</p></blockquote><p></p>
