One Night Only: Offensive Packers-Redskins Game Review, Mythbusters Edition

[scowan]

I know this is an Offensive thread, but I have to throw out a Defensive observation from the Packers game. The Redskins came out all over Rodgers with 3 sacks early. then the Packers adjusted to quick throws and a lot of 3 yard outs and other short patterns you see Welker run a lot of in Denver and previously New England. The Redskins corners started playing off their WRs by 7-10 yards and allowing all of these quick passes and Jim Hasslet did not adjust and it was over.

The lack of defensive adjustments was alarming in the Packers game, but was evident in the second half of the Eagles game. I almost want to throw that one out due to the unknown of their offense and the way we gave them the ball on a short field. BUT the Packers game was a different story all together. Fletch looked flat out bad in that game and was having real trouble getting the guys lined up on defense.
