The Packers Playoff and Players to Watch

OK, the game is Sunday Night, the last game of the divisional round.  What players MUST step up?

OFFENSE

AARON RODGERS
The obvious one of course Aaron Rodgers!  Our future Hall of Fame QB!  The BEST QB in the NFL?  A multiple Super Bowl winner?  A past NFL MVP.  We have seen greatness!  What have seen Hail Marys like no other HAIL MARYS!  We have seen throws that seem impossible!  Can we see this Sunday??

Rhythm - Any great athlete need to get into a rhythm!  On Sunday HOW do we get Aaron in a rhythm.  What I would do?  Run plays that are easy completions!  Quick slants, curls over the middle, swing passes, screen passes.........  Mix in the running game and attack the Seahawks middle line backer, Bobby Wagner head on!  Save the long bombs for later!

AARON JONES
The running game has been strange for the Packers?  That may start one of two way - the PASSING game sets up the RUNNING game, or the RUNNING game sets up the PASSING game?  My gut says, Sunday, the PASSING game must set up the RUNNING game!  Spread the ball around!  First half, use ALL the weapons - Adams, Graham, Lazard, Tonyan, Allison, Williams & Jones!

Jones has the speed & ability to break the 30-40 yarder on any play!  Get him into the passing game first & the running game will come!!!

BAHKTIARI & BULAGA
The left and right tackles!  Handle the pass rush (especially Clowney) and pop the running game holes!  The battle of the line of scrimmage always makes the game swing one way or another!  Also, Bulaga has been banged up, so, keep a close eye to see how long he will go into the game!

DEFENSE

ZA'DARIUS SMITH
The is no question Za'Darius & Preston Smith have been a breath of fresh air!  We missed and loved seeing Clay Mathews fly around the field, issue was, the last few years he was still flying, but MISSING!  I hope Petine keeps moving Z Smith around the field!  And, I hope Z Smith will be able to bring down Wilson as he runs around the field!!!  And, force 1-2 interceptions!

BLAKE MATTHEWS
Stop the BEAST!  My gut says the Seahawks will attempt to run more!  And, Lynch will get more carries!  Of course, key is 1st down & short yardage!  Matthews needs to bring an extra hammer to the game!  And, wasn't it great to see Matthews with a BIG interception the last game!

ALEXANDER & KING with WILLIAMS
Our corners need to aways be ready & in playoffs games even MORE ready!  The Seahawks, wide receivers are sneaky good!  Lockett is the speedster & Metcalf the "receiving BEAST"  Communication has been BETTER the month of December - that must continue in January!  And, how about another BIG player from the OLD vet - Tramon Williams!  Is he the "Woodson" of the 2019 Packers???

So, BIG games, need BIG plays, by BIG players!  WHO will they be????
