[QUOTE="NC_Cheese_Fan_100, post: 485459, member: 8768"] If the packers remain in a 3-4 they have to pickup a couple of large physical DE's. Especially if Pickett doesn't return. The 49ers ran at Neal and Wilson, and to a lesser extent Daniels, and their offensive line manhandled them. The DE's weren't able to collapse or push the pocket and they weren't being double teamed either. Raji seemed to draw a lot of double teams and I think Pickett drew some too. There just wasn't much pressure at all on Kaepernick and the offensive line was able to open really large lanes for him to run and throw. Even with a 5 man front, which the defense seemed to use a lot in the first half, they couldn't get much pressure on him. If the packers can pickup a DE that can draw double teams, in conjunction with Raji, that should really help the OLB's get good situations to pressure the passer and make plays in the backfield. I think they also need another offensive lineman, if nothing else for depth, but I often wonder how much of the pass protection issues the Packers have are related to play calling. Not only the lack of rushing, but pass plays that take too long to develop. On that 3rd & 7 where Rogers threw the interception, there weren't any receivers in the flat, they had all gone deep. They needed 7 yards for a first down to sustain the drive and there were no receivers at the first down marker that I saw. Seems like the Packers are too adamant about going for deep passes and not taking what the defense gives them. No matter how good it is, pass protection will break down if the quarter back has the ball for too long. If the packers had been able to sustain some of their drives against the 49ers it would have made a big difference in the game. The defense was totally winded by the 4th quarter. [/QUOTE]
