The Manning's pointed something out last night that was interesting. Detroit kept running cover 2 against GB all night to play against the big plays. They were talking about the GB offense staying patient and take chances when you get opportunities. And every time Detroit switched and played man, Rodgers would hurl it downfield. Even on 3rd and short plays. Our Rogers seems to try to force it even when it's not there..... Might be why he hangs on to the ball so much. Hopefully this is something he learns in time to take what the defense gives you and open it up when you get your opportunities.

It's a never ending cycle. What was mentioned on that broadcast was to continue running the ball until they brought those safeties up. Leach's system doesn't incorporate the run enough, and thus you end up with a lot of check downs to the RB.
The fact remains, until Leach changes (which isn't going to happen) - we're stuck in an endless cycle of regurgitating the same information week in and week out...

It seems like Leach's offense is purely based on crossing routes confusing the defense and the QB just has to wait long enough for someone to get open. If not, throw it down to the RB and he hopefully makes someone miss and get big YAC. Unfortunately, SEC defenses are a lot better at tackling so those long runs by RBs are turning into 1-2 yard passes.

McIntyre moved a linebacker to cover the RB. In doing so the zone in the middle of the field increased. This caused Austin Williams to be open almost every play for a quick ten yards before a defender adjusted and closed on him. As soon as Will looked to the RB to dump off the LB was jetting his three or four yards to tackle him. Will takes too damn long. We have guys open.
