Packers Exposed

Packers Exposed

It was disappointing loss the Steelers, but it was an exciting game. The end of the game made me scream a few four letter words, but at least they were in it at the end against the Super Bowl Champs.

Jarrett Bush
I’m afraid the Steelers have been exposed one of the Packer’s weaknesses, and that’s their secondary. Charles Woodson is playing like a defensive MVP, and Tramon Williams is playing pretty solid in place of Al Harris. The problem is Jarrett Bush and Josh Bell. Rothlisberger was going after them all day, and he racked up a team record 503 yards of passing. Jarrett Bush was a hot commodity in the offseason and TT ended up giving him roughly $1 million a year….mainly to be a special teams player, and hopefully a decent backup CB. He’s exceptional on special teams, but he’s an awful corner. Bell only joined the team a month ago, and allowed the winning touchdown.

Mason Crosby
I would be shocked if the Packers weren’t looking for a new kicker. Crosby might be salvageable, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen this season. His confidence is gone, and he looks about as good as a high school kicker. It’s time for the Packers to find someone else.

Receivers
There have been waaaay too many drops. The last few games Driver and Jennings have appeared unhappy with the number of balls thrown their way, but as of right, they need to shut their mouths and catch the damn ball. Jermichael Finley is currently the best receiver on the team.

Trades
I really think TT missed out when he didn’t trade Aaron Kampman, and possibly AJ Hawk. Hawk seems to be playing a lot better, but they’re pretty deep at the MLB positions. They stand to get nothing for Kampman without putting the franchise tag on him. Big mistake!

Overall
The Packers have improved a lot this season, and they’re playing some tough football. If the offensive line can hold it together, they should only get better. I’m afraid if they get into the playoffs, they’ll probably be one and done, but at least they made the playoffs this year, and they can hopefully build off that in the offseason.
