Hopefully, this is the first of many "How do you play defense against this guy" articles.

You can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him.

So nice to have a QB teams actually have to gameplan for.

You can't stop Cam, you just pray he is merciful.

Read it earlier. Nice article. This will only make our running game better.

I don't expect GB to blitz as much this week as Arizona did.

They will more likely try to get pressure with the front 4 and wait for Cam to make a bad throw into zone coverage.

Might work.

Anyway, GB is a far more talented team across the board than AZ, this will be a real test and fans would be wise to temper their expectations.

If that's the case, I expect he could rush for 100 yards. Plus it'll open up things for Williams/Stewart.

I'm really hoping for the rush 4 drop 7 in coverage theory.

So I shouldn't be disappointed if my weird dream last night of a shoot out with Cam and Rodgers both throwing over 500 yards and 4 TD but with the Panthers winning as time runs out doesn't come true? The funny part of the dream is when I logged on to the huddle after the game and the first post I read says the Packers obviously have a weak secondary giving up how many yards to the Saints and Panthers in back to back weeks and Cam still needs to play a true NFL D.

Seems like a lot of the experts are ignoring that we ran quite a few screens really effectively vs Ariz. If you play your safeties deep and blitz you are going to be vulnerable underneath.

It seemed to me this article was saying "rush him, but take care to contain him, and also throw multiple coverage schemes at him while disguising your coverages".

Yeah... that took a lot of thought to come up with. :lol:

The run game is going to be critical vs Green Bay.

um... im glad that they are worried about stopping Cam but how in the world are we even gonna slow down Rodgers?
