I think our DBs and Safeties really stepped up their game, which consequently resulted in more sacks and pressures and forced errors against our opponent. I think several individual players accompanied the secondary in that effort.
I’m of a different opinion, I respect Aaron Rodgers for his tenacity and compassion for wanting to excel. I believe him calling the Offense non-playoff caliber was not only accurate... it was very self critical and he links himself by default to that program. I truly believe he expects better from himself and nearly everyone on that side of the ball.
Time n time again, Aaron has earned the benefit of the doubt through his actions that this is not somehow just a slight on everyone. Rather it is his way of pushing players to get the best out of them. OK, I do believe he also sees the talent around him but gets frustrated whenever players aren’t on the same page, players make concentration errors, players don’t put in the effort, etc.. but that frustration is fueled by his constant effort of perfection, it also rubs off on some of these guys along the way. That same attitude avoids the complacency that allows so many teams to be ordinary rather than extra ordinary.
Nice game overall for us, particularly on D. Lots of positives. Aaron Jones, Whitehead, Fackrell were just some that impressed or finally woke up.
I believe Aaron Jones is Jonathan Franklin incarnate as far as showing gifts of promise. The sky is the limit for that kid.
