So what was wrong with out pass defense, you think? Seems like Rodgers was having a little too much fun out there. |
I think they may have taken a different approach had it been regular season, but they seemed to want to find out who could cover. They blitzed, but I'm not sure with a sense of urgency but more to leave guys on an island and see how it went. Overall, the coverage was tight but Rodgers was just lights out.
Haden looked good and had really tight coverage for the most part. Ward was burned on a TD from a perfect pass but his coverage was excellent (an outside go route when Haden blitzed) and he even got his hands up.
We are talking maybe the best passing offense in football here in GB, so I am not concerned from what I saw. There was one time when Brown let his guy get by but it may have been a miscommunication. My issue was he didn't hustle very much to get to the ball after the catch. I will chalk it up to him being a vet and it being preseason, but overall I am not concerned about the pass D.
The rush D was way better and Gocong had some nice sticks. I did not like Maiava once again, as there were times he got wrapped up with lineman on crossing routes and removed himself from plays. I am certain they are going to do something different than Barton and Maiava for DQJ.
Sorenson got a bad call on an interference in the end zone, Ventrone dropped a pick and Haden had a pick stripped. However, this D seems to be more about creating turnovers than in the past. Bmac had a pick to end the half and a nice return.
