My Aaron Rodgers Blog

I cannot believe how fooled I was by the pre-season. I really thought the Packers were ready to take on the world and kick the crap out of Brett Favre. How wrong I was. The main problem that the Packers have is their blocking. It all starts up front and the Minnesota Vikings are going to sack Aaron Rodgers about 15 times and end his season at this rate. Favre will only have to hand it off to Peterson and his team will take care of the rest. This is going to make it difficult to post a winning record much less make it to a Super Bowl.

The biggest and most obvious problem that the Packers have is in their offensive line. If Clifton cannot play, they might as well just throw Brian Brohm out there and let him take the pounding so that we can have Rodgers next year after we can get some linemen in the off season. Rodgers is going to be running for his life every single week and we are probably not going to be able to run the ball worth a crap either. It is going to get very ugly.

When you cannot block the Bengals, do not even think about making a playoff run. I hope they draft about five offensive linemen next year in the draft and go after some free agents too. I know we have some cap room and Thompson needs to do something fast or we are going to miss this window that we have. We have some extremely talented areas on our team and we need to take advantage of that.

As much as I like the flash of the "skilled positions," we need to focus on getting offensive linemen. It all starts there. If Rodgers had some time, he would be picking defenses apart.
