ESPN- Packer Training Camp Confidential 

"During individual drills one night last week, Rodgers drilled three passes into a small square from more than 40 yards away. ..."

small square from 40 yards away??? THree times????


Aaron's speciality is throwing to the off shoulder of the receiver..that the cornerback can't quite reach. It takes incredible accuracy to be able to do that.

Just wanted to share.

I was more impressed with the Jordy and Jones throws on Friday night.. the one to Jones on the sideline was a thing of absolute beauty over the corner..

Cromartie couldn't do any more to prevent it.

Could see that accuracy against the Cards. The long pass to Driver that almost was intercepted was about perfect for the play, and took a tremendous play by the defender to break it up. The Nelson TD was right on the nuts, and the short pass and the sideline pass to Jones where through small windows. Not to mention the back shoulder TD to Finley.

The worst pass from him was the play Jennings go hurt on. Was a little high which prevented Jennings from fully protecting himself.

This makes you wonder about some of those amazing catches that our receivers make.

Take the Buffalo game  (See 1:50), for instance. The commentators where raving about the adjustment that Driver made on that 'underthrown' pass by Rodgers.

Now I was wondering, do coaches put these kinds of things in their playbook if they have a really accurate QB? Could these things be put in the offensive playbook as some sort of the big brother of the corner route, or is this Rodgers being bailed out by his receivers?

There is some of both. Rodgers isn't perfect, so sure he misses on some passes, like Jennings in Ari. It is also quite common for QBs to throw away from the CB. Back or outside shoulder. I remember all the talk about Warner with the Rams, throwing so the WR knows where the defenders are.

throw behind so the WR has to slow and knows to turn it around to avoid the defenders after the catch.

That catch in the Bills game didn't look like a bad throw, it looked like a timed route. Rodgers had the ball gone before Driver turned and looked. He just seemed to know that it would be behind for Driver to stop or slow to catch.

I remember the announcers talking about how good of a pass it was. It was still a nice adjustment by Driver to make the catch, but I think it's something they both work on with that over man coverage downfield.

It's just called putting the ball where only your receiver can catch it. The one to Driver was both very good on rodgers and driver there.

Shame on those announcers. That was what is known as a "fade-stop" route. It was perfectly planned and executed. The second TD to Finley against the Cards was similar. I've always thought the Packers should use that play more often.

I said it in another thread, and some have pointed it out in this one...the TD to Nelson, and the one down the sideline to Jones were things of beauty!

I don't know where and when I heard this but I actually heard someone compare Rodgers to Brady ... Patience and accuracy wise. I could be wrong but I'm about 99% sure I've heard or read that somewhere.
