Maybe the ideal situation lies somewhere in between.Now that Geronimo is out there should be more snaps to go around. It also seems to me that having an increase in double TE sets and pinching the interior line together would offer Rodgers better pass protection and afford better blocking for our rushing attack.  As one example, we supposedly have one of the best blocking TEs in the league (who also poses a threat as a receiver when unaccounted for) but we have a tendency to ignore our strengths and play into our opponent’s hands by forcing the ball downfield rather than giving Aaron some short range options when Graham, Adams or Cobb are covered up.Having a TE who is multi faceted is exactly what the Dr ordered. When teams start putting 10 in the box like NE just did to us. Getting our TE past that 6 yard range where we have the a high probability of either moving the chains or drawing a foul from an over-aggressive D player like Chung is paramount. Aaron should have better receiver options underneath vs continually having to throw the pass into the bench. Either our receivers aren’t coming back to the ball when #12 is under duresss (Geronimo was good at that) or we don’t have allowable time (hurried) or both.</blockquote>
