[QUOTE="broguy, post: 632988, member: 11278"] I agree with this partially, but disagree to a large extent. On the first point, I absolutely agree that we have some bigger issues that need to be addressed. Particularly, I think offensive play calling and decision making needs to be more aggressive. As I said a few posts back, we're only going as far as Rodgers will carry us this year, and him being conservative with the lack of play makers around him (with Nelson out and given the rough season from Lacy) isn't going to get us far. And this isn't a knock on Rodgers. When you have guys like Cobb and Nelson and a productive Lacy you should be conservative and let those guys make plays. But he's gotta take on a bigger role this season and take some chances - the second half yesterday was encouraging IMO. Defensively we also have some holes and potential scheme issues that we might not be able to be address in-season. However, a lot of our woes can be placed on individual players being out. Nelson being out completely changes our offense, and we're a different team without him. Unfortunately we won't get him back, so we need to adjust and form a new identity. Shields being out has killed not only our secondary but has really hurt our pass rush the last two games. It's hard to get pressure when a QB can find a wide open guy in 3 seconds. It's unfair to assume that a team can replace a top CB and not miss a beat (especially when you've got another major contributor at cb out in Rollins). Not a lot of teams could recover from that kind of blow. As for the "Seasons like 2010 have shown that it's not about who is missing, it's about how the players on the field play." comment, that's absolutely right, and we're just not very good defensively without our top CB. Fortunately we'll be getting him back soon, and to assume that won't make a big difference is pretty preposterous. [/QUOTE]
