Most teams with an ailing quarterback would decide to play more with two tight ends, run the game, and limit the amount of shots an opponent can take at their signal caller. The Green Bay Packers aren’t most teams because Aaron Rodgers isn’t more quarterbacks.
Adding Jimmy Graham and Marcedes Lewis to Lance Kendricks this offseason set the Green Bay offense up to play much more heavy personnel, with two tight ends on the field. Considering Graham’s skill as a receiver, it was more like playing with one tight end and a matchup nightmare, creating difficult questions for how defenses attack that personnel.
