I've been going back and forth regarding which area he should concentrate on this off season. There's been a lot of talk about Lacy's need to lose weight and that's what I would suggest for RRodgers too. If he can't or won't drive block at whatever weight he played at this season (about 270 according to McGinn below) I don't think adding strength or a few pounds is going to make much difference.Someone posted video highlights of his college career and he looked more athletic and faster but he had dropped a lot of weight - reported to be about 30 pounds - because the new HC didn't use a traditional TE. IMO he should drop about 20+ pounds and work on his speed. He could still block poorly but may be a better option in the passing game.Here's McGinn's comments on him in his grading column:<a href="http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/packers-individual-report-card-offense-b99656526z1-366333791.html" target="_blank">http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/packers-individual-report-card-offense-b99656526z1-366333791.html</a></blockquote>
