[QUOTE="TJV, post: 572134, member: 4300"] That's the first thing I noticed too. It looked like even the WR lined up outside of Quarless who ran an "in" route had enough leverage to be thrown the ball although we don't see how that developed. The EZ shot shows Rodgers looked to his right first so by the time he looked left we don't see what was happening on that side - my guess is Quarless would have still been open. Starks misses the chip block and he was open but by then Rodgers was concerned with the rush. The big problem IMO is the Packers OL. If any defense can put just 6 guys in the box and stop the run while getting good pressure rushing just 4 that puts too much pressure on the passing offense. I don't know how many times Rodgers audibled to a run, but I'll bet he, and many other QBs, are taught with just 6 in the box that's usually a good call on average down & distance plays. If a team dares you to run by overloading against the pass and you can't run... If you would have told me this was going to happen early this year I would have guessed it must be the rookie OC (either one) causing most of the problems on the OL but that hasn't been the case. Against the Lions if it wasn't the OC, I'd have guessed it must have been Bakhtiari, who got badly schooled last Thanksgiving in Detroit. But after a bad game against the Jets, this is what McGinn said in his review of the game, "Not only did Bakhtiari set his anchor, he finished run blocks better than any of the linemen." Instead it's the experienced OGs who have screwed up on crucial plays, and they're supposed to be the best O linemen (with Bulaga returning from injury). On the sack in question, Lang couldn't handle a simple stunt and that's the second time in two weeks he had that problem. Richard Rodgers is in over his head blocking in the NFL.
