[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 845427, member: 5830"] Basic football: You work with what you've got. You gear up to either stop the run or gear up to stop the pass. In the [U]rare[/U] situation where you have the personnel to do both effectively (like the Bears and Vikings) you do it. The Packers aren't THAT talented yet. From what I've heard and gathered, Pettine is focused on shutting down the pass first and dealing with teams trying to run more. It's a pass oriented league so I have no problem with his approach. He's got good pressure coming from the edge, solid safeties, and very talented corners with an over-achiever at MLB. It's refreshing to see a coach playing to his team's talent rather than forcing a round peg into a square hole. If Rodgers and LaFluer get the offensive running better as the season wears on, opposing teams will find it harder and harder to run the ball when they are falling further behind on the scoreboard.
