Week 3 Previews: Can Aaron Rodgers Beat 49ers' Cover-2?

Aaron Rodgers has a weakness: a defense with two high safeties.

Seriously, that's his weakness.

How is everyone keeping a straight face when talking/writing about this? As weaknesses go, this is Silver Age comic book stuff: Green Lantern rings not working against anything yellow, or Martians being afraid of fire. It's like the Wicked Witch of the West (or some M. Night Shyamalan aliens) melting when exposed to water. Their only weakness was that they could be insta-killed by the most common and prevalent substance on the planet! And Rodgers' only weakness is the defensive concept you learned in high school, the one you have been calling in Madden since you were old enough to hold a controller.
