I spent this week looking at every sack of Aaron Rodgers in Week 12, but after going through all the passing offense, I had one other angle I really wanted to look at: Matt LaFleur's screen game.
Let's talk about the nature of the screen pass really quick. Traditionally, a screen pass is used to slow down a good pass rush. The idea is to have the offensive line block for a beat, then allow the defender they are blocking to get past them. Once the defender is past them and on their way to the quarterback, the linemen will release downfield and block for a running back who has leaked out of the backfield.
