Who was that Cedric Benson guy? Are we SURE he was the same one that played for the Bears a few years back and was run out of town? This new and improved Benson seemed to benefit from some good initial blocks from his line.
Aaron Rodgers will be lucky to last the season with the kinds of hits he's taking. I said the same thing early last year, but Brett Favre's about to get the ball out quick and use the recoil from his throw saves him from those kinds of hits. One play in the first half, Rodgers stood there after his release for just half a second and was knocked over the guy on the ground behind him. Favre made a bad line look respectable in 2007.
The situation at OT is terrible. However, there is hope and that the hope is that Josh Sitton will be OK as a starting guard. For all the problems on the line, I'm not hearing about him too much about Sitton, so I'm hoping that's good. I was listening to the TV announcers this game. If I get a chance to listen to Wayne & Larry, I might get a better read on him.
Things were bad before Clifton's injury and only got worse with Colledge getting whipped at LT. What is particular galling is that the Packers weak link has been exposed in both games and cost them this one.
You can talk about run defense, penalties, and poor tackling too. But IMHO, that game is on the OTs and the OC. Don't call 7 step drops when your OTs stink.
