[QUOTE="PackerfaninCarolina, post: 625046, member: 9364"] Here's where one of my concerns lies. Marshawn Lynch stinks when he's thrown to. I saw him put an open catch on the ground last game and I don't think he's really known as a reliable RB receiver. Charles on the other hand is, so whoever we have covering him in the passing game is going to have their hands full. Also, as tough a runner as Lynch is, we also have to remember his running style usually has minimal cutbacks and he gets his yardage through stiff arming, powering, and running through tackles. Charles on the other hand is much much more elusive. I think the way you stop him on running plays is employ that same strategy we used against AP in that playoff game in 2012. Keep him from bouncing to the outside and keep him in the middle because you can limit him better in there. On our pass protection I understand the concern there. But I think the key will be Linsley and the guards holding up the middle. Because yes they'll send Hali and Houston from the outside, but that might be a bad thing to do against Rodgers because he has great pocket awareness and if you miss him from either direction, he'll either fire a hot route to that side or go running in that vacated direction and complete even an off balance throw. Or he'll go to the middle of the field and run for a first down, so the Chiefs had better take care how they decide to pressure him. But on a side note, BARCLAY (to those who spelled it wrong) held up good against the Hawks front 4 last game, I'm not terribly worried about him this game. Bakhtiari is the guy who got victimized by sacks and penalties mostly. But the passing game will have to be a focal point to win this game too and if the chiefs run game sputters or they start falling behind at any point, I expect Alex Smith will get buried alive by Julius Peppers and Clay Matthews and trust me after last week, last thing the Chiefs want to see are those 2 turned loose on them.
