And that’s important because playing cover two well is one of the best ways to beat the Packers offense. Bostick was supposed to be at least a decent imitation of that type of TE, but surprisingly (to me at least) he’s fallen far out of favor with the coaching staff.Quarless is more athletic and better in the passing game than Rodgers and both have improved their blocking this season. I love Rodgers' attitude and I think he'll continue to work hard at getting better blocking. Coming out of college one of his best attributes was his ability to catch the ball and that fits into the possession type of TE he’s likely to be. He seems like the type of person that will get the most out of his talent because he's humble and works hard. But the Packers could really use a TE who has the speed to “threaten the seam” who also is an adequate blocker. But those guys are rare athletes, even in the NFL.</blockquote>
