When there are issues with an NFL offense, it usually starts in one of two places: the offensive line or the quarterback.
The problems the Green Bay Packers are facing is a product of both although the issues with the former are definitely having an impact on the latter. Without solid protection, Aaron Rodgers can’t go through his progressions and properly read a defense. While his accuracy leaves a lot to be desired as well, a decent chunk of Rodgers’ poor performance can be traced to the offensive line.
Two players in particular are drawing criticism: guard Royce Newman and guard-turned-tackle Elgton Jenkins.
