We here at Acme Packing Company have already discussed at length how the Packer RPO game suffers, in part, because Aaron Rodgers makes his reads pre-snap instead of post-snap. (You can read more on the subject here.) What this article pre-supposes is that, perhaps, this tendency isn’t limited to RPOs. Aaron is running too many pre-snap reads on all plays, without any post-snap analysis taking place.
Even last season, when Davante Adams was still Green Bay and at the height of his powers, the team ran a lot of no-read screens to the man, and in retrospect, that easy chemistry may be where this all started.
