O Line: McNabb was under pressure the entire game, and the running game was non-existent. Is the O Line really as bad as it looked tonight?

D Line: Rodgers had all day...all day. We got to him towards the end of the game, but for the most part he wasn't bothered. What does it take to get pressure on the QB?

Pass Coverage: It seemed like most throws from Rodgers resulted in a 6-10 yard gain. Why are we playing so soft...?

Banks...he better be returning every punt from now on...he can be and will be a game changer...no question. Thoughts?

#1- I think the OL is some where in between. I know it's not the best answer but in Zorn's scheme they sucked but in Shanahan's scheme they are much better.

They played one of the better DL's in the league Sun. and could not run the ball very well due to it so they had to find better ways to move the ball, ie; passing the ball to the RB beyond the DL but in the open or flat.

#2- I think the DL is a work in progress. They are still learning the scheme. I heard part of the reason they did better in the second half was the adjustment that was made. They started playing 3 Safeties in the game and for that it helped out. ... suposedly.

#3- I think we play soft at CB cause it's the by product of the scheme. I think they would rather have teams make the small play keeping the offense in front of them vs. giving up the big play and possible TD.

Personally it looks like when they play zone coverage I think they give the cushion. When they play man to man they are closer to the line and jam at the LOS. Some teams due to WR's they have the defense might have to play more zone vs. man to man.

Just my oppinion.
