Defenses just didn’t blitz Aaron Rodgers over the years. It’s going to be a different story for the Jordan Love-led Packers in 2023.

I assume this is one of the reasons why Bakh was kept: to help a young QB from getting plastered from defenses bringing the heat.

But yes, give the QB some time in general, and because the Packers really don't have much quality at OT. Right now Bakhtiari, Tom and Nijman, but lose one and there is no tested depth.

It was a little disappointing that they didn't draft an interior guy to try to upgrade over Jake Hanson though.

Rasheed Walker, Caleb Jones, or Luke Tenuta could develop at tackle as well. The latter two are massive (6'7 and 6'8) and if I recall correctly Walker looked relatively good in camp/preseason last year.

Love is a young , mobile QB. All he needs to do is burn a few defenses with his legs and they will have to think twice about blitzing. Love is not an idiot. I'm sure, being as he's a new starting QB, he will be prepared for whatever they throw at him. Hes had 3 years of learning what to expect and will not be caught off guard.

Get that old enema draw going. Run some traps. Let the defense overpursue.

I also think the game tape from the Kansas City game last year will lead people to try to blitz more.

Perhaps this is wishful thinking, but I think our younger (hopefully) shiftier receivers will be able to beat guys on slants when opposing defenses blitz. We had that with Adams, who was tough to jam, but last year our guys had not yet learned to disengage from press coverage.

This year will be hopefully be different.

Anticipation of a tactic is key to the subjugation of the opponent.

Go Packers!!!!

Having the other team blitz more potential could make games more interesting, both ways... as higher chance of a big bad play, or a big good play for the Packers.

Blitzes will also open more one on one deep balls for Watson or Musgrave or whomever they send deep.
