Why pass short? · PACKERSHOME

Simple, we are good at it. Here are Rodgers splits

Pass Att. 1-10 44/60 721 yards 73.3% 12.02 YPA 7 TD 0 INT
Pass Att. 11-20 38/60 351 yards 63.3% 5.85 YPA 1 TD 1 INT
Pass Att. 21-30 25/41 422 yards 61.0% 10.29 YPA 3 TD 0 INT
Pass Att. 31+ 14/23 208 yards 60.9% 9.04 YPA 0 TD 1 INT

Not that 60% is a bad thing, but we are a team that needs to be throwing short. I always say a 3 yard pass that nets 7 is better than any running game.

What I also see is that we have our worst production per pass in the mid range 11-20. While the completion percentage is 2nd best, the yards is not good. My guess is that teams are covering that part of the field tougher.

Those are just the production after the # of attempts. We have actually thrown 104 passes for 10 yards or less.

I think you are reading these stats wrong. I think these stats are the number of attempts Rodger throws. For example, Rodgers has 721 yards passing total in each of the games where he throws his 1st pass to his 10th pass. Does that make sense?

What does it say about your quarterback when his highest ratings are in passes between 31-40 yards and 21-39 yards?

You are right. Those were by attempt. By yardage is even worse.

Pass Thrown: Behind line 23/29 140yds 79.3% 4.83ypa
Pass Thrown: 1-10 yds. 55/75 521yds 73.3% 6.95ypa

Pass Thrown: 21-30 yds. 5/12 157yds 41.7% 13.08ypa
Pass Thrown: 31-40 yds. 3/5 134yds 60.0% 26.80ypa
Pass Thrown: 41+ yds. 2/9 99yds 22.2% 11.00ypa

When you're talking about total yardage, sure. When you're talking about yards per attempt, not so much so. Although I certainly agree with you in a way, that we should concentrate more on short passes and slants when playing good pass rushing teams, when we can't send 4 men deep and wait for people to get open.

Exactly. Open up the deep pass with the short pass. We don't need no stinkin' running game.

Ok, maybe a little, especially with this O-line, but in theory, we shouldn't have to run it that much. I don't want us to run it much, really.

If you see his numbers on the short pass, they're pretty much comparable to Chad Pennington. And that is one hell of a compliment.

Btw, looking at these stats, you wouldn't figure that we only need something between 5 to 6 plays to get the TD. Just shows how amazing our receivers are and how well our young quarterback can dissect the blitz. Just look at last weeks game. The long TD to Driver. It shows both points in one play.

I have wondered if the lack of short passes has been a fault of Rodgers or offensive coaching in previous games. Based on recent comments, I get the impression that Rodgers is too impatient for the short dump-off or slant pass. I think the game against the Browns should have shown him that smart short passes can be just as effective as the deep ball. If that doesn't, I am worried we are in for more 5-6 sack games.

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
