@@vcp93 so you just don't like Aaron Rodgers?

This is all about coaching. Poor schemes and poor route running. And if it's the receivers failing to follow instructions you need to get a new set of receivers. Even Sammy Watkins is unimpressive. The reason Cooper Kupp gets so many balls thrown at him is that he does what Kurt is talking about. He doesn't allow the defender to force his route and he actively manages what's given him by the defense. Kelce of the Chiefs does this as well.

Peyton here ! Thank you Kurt for that very long, thoughtful and precise analysis. You're pointing out ( exactly ) where things go wrong in the Packers's camp. Yep ! Coaching errors and miscommunication, wrong routes and so on. I really enjoyed your video. It feels like football 101, but you're 100 % right. Aaron's not responsible 100% for the debacle of this year.
I wish people like Colin Cowherd and Skip and Shannon bothered to understand this. Never understand why people get paid millions of dollars to be bias liars and blame 1 person for everything.
Agree, plus I think a lot of times with them it is also laziness. It's easier to blame the QB(especially one like rodgers) than to blame the recievers or the whole offense. And what I mean is, they make the assumption that Rodgers should just be able to do everything in the huddle between plays to fix the recievers because he is Rodgers and since it isn't happening he must be too old or high or screwing up in some way, when its just young recievers running terrible routes because they're young and think they know better or just sub-par NFL recievers. And somebody get dude the right cleats - idiot keeps falling over everytime he is touched by a DB.
just wanna say I appreciate this so much! as a packer fan I keep wondering what is going on this year and now I can finally see. thanks so much! I will keep watching these!
It’s crazy how context paints a completely different picture. The receivers coach needs to be demoted like yesterday. Very consistently sloppy play from that group.
@@Win7ermu7e Watkins is new to the O- and even though he’s a veteran, seemed more like a few mental mistakes on his part. Overall it looks like a lot of sloppiness on the Offense, and Aaron being indecisive a lot.
@@donjuaaan8329 tbh a lot of the mistakes on Watkins arent even scheme related. How do you give up inside leverage on an in-breaking route for example. Thats like WR 101 there.
@@Adam-xe5xm agreed- there also seems to be lack of accountability when those types of mistakes are made- probably a symptom of not having depth available. Dude has a lot of snaps and does nothing.
Great presentation that explains so much re: what is actually happening. Aaron had a similar period of struggling a few years ago when packers lost all their starting receivers to injury. Thank you, Kurt.
Can you do another break down of Justin Fields now that the offense is seemingly more Fields friendly since the New England game? Would be interesting to hear your insights on how the Bears and Fields have adjusted.
A bad team goes bad all over the field. At some point everybody starts to break down. It can start when one or two players make mistakes too often or get beat, or can't beat their guy more than average. Then other guys start thinking that they have to make up for them, or feel the pressure to do their jobs flawlessly every play, and get tentative. And it snowballs. Resentment and frustration with each other and with yourself takes over. Now, I think that the refs have an impact too. This season, illegal contact, which is usually a coin toss kind of call, (when it's called at all) was called against the Packer's receivers earlier in the season, whereas in most seasons prior it was not. Which put doubt in the receivers, minds as to what they will get away with going forward. It killed the T.D. to Tonyan in the Lions game too. Refs, in my opinion tend to call it against receivers without an established reputation as elite or even respected in the league. As was, (is) the case with these receivers.
Very insightful video. The details you give explain the gut feeling I had that something was way off compared to previous years. As a serious question, what is up with the running game? I have that same gut feeling that the holes and running lanes (or whatever the terminology is) are not there compared to last year. Is this too a WR problem (like the one you showed with the Aaron Jones pitch out for a loss) of not blocking well, or is there something else going on? Again, a very insightful video where I learned a lot about what I didn't know that I didn't know. Thank you, sir.
The packers typically use the pass to set up the run, getting defenses on their heels and inching back to protect from big passing plays. Since defenses are not worried about that anymore they are playing loaded boxes and being very aggressive. You can see it in the press coverage aswell that defenders have zero respect for basically any of the offensive players.
I only came here after just now seeing the last pass to Watkins for the W vs. the Lions. Only video i found breaking down the mistakes in the plays. I only wish we could of heard the discussions afterwards in the lockers. Thanks Kurt!
I keep seeing people show that play on Twitter where you have the 2 seams and it looks so wide but like you showed if you have other primaries and you get to them first and by the time you get to the next reads there's a bit of pressure anything can happen. There are 2 really bad plays by him this game including that one but overall you can see why he would have trust issues and currently with the added on injuries to this team it may be the worse receiving unit in NFL history let alone the just this season (Titans are up there). How are so many guys falling down, how are so many guys getting beat in press all game long, how many times are players going to get dictated then decide at the very last moment to change their direction off script? You could have an overview like Madden as Rodgers in this offense and still struggle because of the "talent" around him. Great breakdowns Kurt, one of the best to do it.
Kurt Warner needs an offensive coordinator job RIGHT NOW !!! I really want to see it so bad !! Obviously he's watched film on all the best offensive teams and he's also seen all the worse teams. Like come on Kurt I want to see your offense be ranked number 1 and specifically I wanna see you coach for my team the cowboys !!!
Kurt, been a fan a long time. Awesome to get your take on these things. It's like learning to cook from Bobby Flay. I don't think the Packers perimeter players are healthy. I think they can't get off the jam, getting beat on leverage and falling down as they are all in various states of repair. I think they can finish stong so long as they get more reps and can try to get healthy again. Sammy just needs more time in the system, I hope. He's shown earlier flashes before going out on ir.
@@user-qv4fp9vm8u like a receiver was falling on the ground almost half the plays ran. Aaron isn't blameless but the dude won back to back MVPs now is QB that should be benched? It's not all on him
I can’t help but laugh at how many times Aaron must be going through his reads this season only to see one or more of his dudes eating turf. Comically bad.
Great breakdown as always. How many times did a receiver hit the ground? Jeesh. Can you do another review of Mac Jones? Seems to have totally regressed after a very promising rookie campaign. I know they switched up the offensive system but he looks totally lost out there and even unable to hit the easy check downs.. Would love to get your perspective on what's going wrong.
@@sirkevstah289 Detroit did a really good job jamming the receivers and I think they were just tripping themselves trying to get through. Then a couple times in the 4th they were expecting to be jammed and the defender just pushed them aside.
Mac is a mediocre QB under the best circumstances, but Matt Patricia has put him in the worst possible position right now, so he looks terrible. I don't know why people are so surprised that the parts of the team Matt Patricia coaches look awful, we knew this was going to happen as soon as he was hired. The receivers don't know what they're doing, the O line can't block, and the opposing teams are literally calling out the plays that Patricia is running, so why would you expect Mac to look good right now?
Packers GM cost this team a SB or two the last few years, no idea how this guy still has a job. Rodgers has been begging for competent pass catchers besides Adams and they drafted backup QBs, RBs, linebackers, defensive tackles...... never once getting someone who was even an average WR or TE. Awful allocation of resources when you have one of the best QBs of all time, GM seemed to think he was the smartest guy in the room and let his ego get in the way. And for all the investments made on defense, they are average at best and decided to let one of the best pass rushers in the game walk to a division rival. What a disaster this GM has been.
It's fine if you think the GM is terrible but the weapons were good enough to win back to back MVPs, good enough to average over 2.5 passing TDs a game over the past two years, good enough to be first in scoring in 2020 and top ten in 2021, but all of a sudden not good enough to win in the playoffs? The team won 13 games a year the past two seasons. This year you wanna blame weapons, go for it, tough to argue. The WR room Rodgers had last year was enough to win MVP, and then he no-showed in the playoffs (which is overshadowed by a dreadful special teams performance). In 2020 they lost to the Bucs and Rodgers 4th quarter passing (down 5) was two 3 and outs, and a drive where he threw 3 straight incompletions on the Tampa 8 yard line. The playoff losses were on everyone. GM not providing more talent in all three phases (especially special teams), coaches making questionable decisions (especially regarding offensive line construction), and also the QB, who didn't play up to expectations, certainly not anywhere near MVP standards.
He doesn’t have competent receivers because he’s so greedy. There was no money left to retain Adams or get another wideout. Brady took less and won Super Bowls.
*The GM has as a big EGO yes, but the 50 plus million Rodgers makes is also not helping. More so than anything, the coaching has lost the NFC playoff games the last few years. LaFluer is average coach and 2 straight years he took his foot and Rodgers foot off the gas. After 3 years with these coaches Rodgers became conservative and it’s all coming to a head in 2022. Worst part of it all is the QB has his best Defense since the Woodson championship defense in 2010*
at 7:20 the pass to sammy, it was a run play that rodgers decided to pull and throw. you can tell because the O line is blocking run and no one is really running a route. if he hands the ball off its likely a TD.
Every single big passing play Rodgers has to either scramble and create extra or drop the ball in the bucket. I could've told you 4 weeks ago he was gonna have more picks this season than practically any other. The way they're playing is not sustainable
Thank you Mr. Warner for giving us this! It's what Mr. Rodgers has been vaguely alluding to all season, without throwing anyone under the bus. Has he played great? No. But his receivers need to start giving him more opportunities, or else it'll just continue to be more of the same.
There must be something i don't understand about coaching. Because this all makes sense to me. I'm biased. Warner was always my favourite QB. Smart. Gutsy to a fault. Always did his job. But these all seem like coachable fixes.
The problem is you have guys like Sammy Watkins that have no idea what route they’re supposed to run let alone what leverage they’re supposed to get coming off the line. Just terrible WR play.
Been loving your breakdowns! Your channel is everything I enjoy most about watching football. I learn a ton every video. Everything about GB has been sloppy - WR play, game plan, lack of rush attack, subpar coaching, and poor decision making. The NFL doesn't lack talent by any means. Seems there are a few puzzle pieces that aren't quite fitting together for them this season.
Thanks for this video. I was confused about why the Packers were not doing well but I could tell it was about miscommunication. I really enjoyed watching this thank you.
Well I learned Aaron didn't have his best game and that Watkins probably shouldn't be playing. Tons of mistakes and doesn't even attempt to block on the sweep play. Let Amari or Toure take his snaps.
Again amazing analysis from the man. The bad part is this is a bottom 5 pass defense in the league. The road doesn’t get any easier from here. Im amazed at how often Packers receivers are falling down and running bad routes. Some of the picks were just pop up in heavy coverage. Trying to make a play and nobody coming down with it . This doesn’t even show all the drops from previous weeks or Doubs going down on his first catch/play and out for the game. It’s sad.
This is the view we should be watching the game from all the time. I can hardly believe we’re watching games without seeing the routes of wide receivers. We’ve pretty much been watching a farce of a game without this view.
This kinda highlights Allen Lazard as being at fault of alot of the problems which is kinda unfair. He was an undrafted player for a reason and has been an overachiever his whole career to have gotten to the point he is at now. He has made some great catches like the one highlighted but in terms of speed off the snap, strength to beat press coverage, things like that he falls short because of his significant physical limitations. He is a 3rd probably 4th receiver who is trying to fill the role of a #1. The issue is not the rookies or Lazard, the player who always runs the wrong routes and is being called out by Aaron so publicly is clearly Sammy Watkins... who is easily the most talented of the bunch but seems to be lost on every play.
I think Aaron understands that its not Lazards fault that he became a #1 by default which is why I think hes really tried to get close with him. Rodgers must really hate the GM. I would if I were him.
@@Kt31821 he might have been more physically talented 6 or 7 years ago. Right now he looks like hes running though mud compared to the other players on the pitch. Does not look like an NFL calibre athlete at all this year.
As a long time Packers fan, I’ve seen the Packers lose badly and have bad seasons but I can’t remember seeing them play this bad week to week. They’re completely inept. They have nothing good going right now and they have nothing to build off of. I don’t know who they can beat and can’t see them getting better anytime soon.
Aaron Rodgers will always be my QB1. It's all hate for whatever reason people want to dream up. This man is a fuckin treasure, and I really don't want to see him in another uniform fucking the Packers up their asses. He can still sling it. His mental capacity for dissecting defenses is unmatched. Put a great O-line in front and a great RB1 and 2 in back, and put good veterans WRs TEs out there, and he'll still drop a 40 burger on you. I thought we had the first 2 but we haven't had the receivers in a long time. Way to go All IN!!
When the NFL used the wonderlic test to measure intelligence, the position that performed the worst, year in and year out, was wide receiver. Meaning, wide receivers are the least intelligent players on a team. Bring Sammy Watkins in and expect him to learn a new system is going to take awhile. Smartest position on a team? Center.
great analysis. always seemed like a great guy. man, i really wanted him and larry fitzgerald to win that super bowl against the steelers that year....
Thanks for this. I wish you did the other games for the losses as well but yeah everything is just bad. Bad route running, bad decisions on the route, not able to stay upright, constantly getting jammed like dang. Now they might only be dressing 4 WRs and gonna be shirt handed. There's gotta be a FA better. Just has to be
I kind of agree with Aaron on this. Watkins needs off the field, now. He is completely lost out there. It's crazy, because we got a vet so he could learn the playbook faster than the rookies, but he's lost on every play.
But isn’t all this stuff ingrained in these professional athletes at the high school and college levels? How are pro athletes repeatedly making what I assume are fundamental mistakes?
Pro athletes were standouts in college and HS. Pro wide receivers all got separation and were superior athletes - they didn’t need to be nuanced. Warner is pointing out the details that are necessary to win in the pro game where everyone is good - unless you are an all-pro, maybe.
I would much rather watch this on ESPN instead of listening to Stephen A Smith call Aaron a “bad man” when he’s doing well. Then call him a crappy player when they’re losing. Great break down.
It seems like there's a ton of bad decision making on this team. I understand that's a broad term and it doesn't really help, but when you look at the play calling and the utilization next to an analysis like this you've gotta wonder how it's *all* going poorly. Multiple times this year they've been in position to win the game with a score and they end it on multiple incompletions. They have time on the clock, they have multiple downs left, and sometimes they only need one yard. Why with two high end RBs are you still throwing the football to receivers that you know have been ineffective? Just from this Lions game they had 55 seconds, two timeouts, and two receivers injured. Rodgers has been frustrated all day with receivers on the ground and running bad routes and he's thrown three picks. Yet you still try to throw it all four downs. Is it play calling? Is it Rodgers trying to play hero ball? Is it a severe lack of confidence in the running game? I don't know. I don't think it's a lack of talent. It's just insane to me that you'd throw four straight incompletions when you know you've been struggling with your receivers all season and today has been worse than that.
Thats not true at all. Watch the freaking games, Mahones has been either running or taking sacks most of the year cause the WRs take too long to get open.
Finally found a channel that actually talks football and explain things instead of useless hot takes.

A little bit is fun

Coaching errors and miscommunication, wrong routes and so on. I really enjoyed your video. It feels like football 101, but you're 100 % right. Aaron's not responsible 100% for the debacle of this year.
Another brilliant breakdown Kurt! Your the man
I wish people like Colin Cowherd and Skip and Shannon bothered to understand this. Never understand why people get paid millions of dollars to be bias liars and blame 1 person for everything.
It’s all about starting drama and getting them views
Cowherd is not capable of understanding this
Agree, plus I think a lot of times with them it is also laziness. It's easier to blame the QB(especially one like rodgers) than to blame the recievers or the whole offense. And what I mean is, they make the assumption that Rodgers should just be able to do everything in the huddle between plays to fix the recievers because he is Rodgers and since it isn't happening he must be too old or high or screwing up in some way, when its just young recievers running terrible routes because they're young and think they know better or just sub-par NFL recievers. And somebody get dude the right cleats - idiot keeps falling over everytime he is touched by a DB.
@@cdputzier he probably is
just wanna say I appreciate this so much! as a packer fan I keep wondering what is going on this year and now I can finally see. thanks so much! I will keep watching these!
It’s crazy how context paints a completely different picture. The receivers coach needs to be demoted like yesterday. Very consistently sloppy play from that group.
Watkins is an 8 year vet, that stuff isnt on the receivers coach.
@@Win7ermu7e Watkins is new to the O- and even though he’s a veteran, seemed more like a few mental mistakes on his part. Overall it looks like a lot of sloppiness on the Offense, and Aaron being indecisive a lot.
Players know what to do. I bet they are coached to play this sloppy. It will end with them being cut and working at McDonald’s. As it should be.
@@donjuaaan8329 tbh a lot of the mistakes on Watkins arent even scheme related. How do you give up inside leverage on an in-breaking route for example. Thats like WR 101 there.
@@Adam-xe5xm agreed- there also seems to be lack of accountability when those types of mistakes are made- probably a symptom of not having depth available. Dude has a lot of snaps and does nothing.
amazing analysis. Thank you Kurt! You need to show off on McAfee sometime.
These have to be the worst coached receivers in the league.
Great presentation that explains so much re: what is actually happening. Aaron had a similar period of struggling a few years ago when packers lost all their starting receivers to injury. Thank you, Kurt.
Just stumbled onto this channel. How is it not bigger?
Can you do another break down of Justin Fields now that the offense is seemingly more Fields friendly since the New England game? Would be interesting to hear your insights on how the Bears and Fields have adjusted.
Kurt Warner should be coaching the Packers instead of LaFleur!
A bad team goes bad all over the field. At some point everybody starts to break down. It can start when one or two players make mistakes too often or get beat, or can't beat their guy more than average. Then other guys start thinking that they have to make up for them, or feel the pressure to do their jobs flawlessly every play, and get tentative. And it snowballs. Resentment and frustration with each other and with yourself takes over. Now, I think that the refs have an impact too. This season, illegal contact, which is usually a coin toss kind of call, (when it's called at all) was called against the Packer's receivers earlier in the season, whereas in most seasons prior it was not. Which put doubt in the receivers, minds as to what they will get away with going forward. It killed the T.D. to Tonyan in the Lions game too. Refs, in my opinion tend to call it against receivers without an established reputation as elite or even respected in the league. As was, (is) the case with these receivers.
Watkins legit needs to be benched, but there's no other option
Very insightful video. The details you give explain the gut feeling I had that something was way off compared to previous years. As a serious question, what is up with the running game? I have that same gut feeling that the holes and running lanes (or whatever the terminology is) are not there compared to last year. Is this too a WR problem (like the one you showed with the Aaron Jones pitch out for a loss) of not blocking well, or is there something else going on? Again, a very insightful video where I learned a lot about what I didn't know that I didn't know. Thank you, sir.
The packers typically use the pass to set up the run, getting defenses on their heels and inching back to protect from big passing plays. Since defenses are not worried about that anymore they are playing loaded boxes and being very aggressive. You can see it in the press coverage aswell that defenders have zero respect for basically any of the offensive players.
Thx Kurt for this breakdown I understand the situation better
I only came here after just now seeing the last pass to Watkins for the W vs. the Lions. Only video i found breaking down the mistakes in the plays. I only wish we could of heard the discussions afterwards in the lockers. Thanks Kurt!
I keep seeing people show that play on Twitter where you have the 2 seams and it looks so wide but like you showed if you have other primaries and you get to them first and by the time you get to the next reads there's a bit of pressure anything can happen. There are 2 really bad plays by him this game including that one but overall you can see why he would have trust issues and currently with the added on injuries to this team it may be the worse receiving unit in NFL history let alone the just this season (Titans are up there). How are so many guys falling down, how are so many guys getting beat in press all game long, how many times are players going to get dictated then decide at the very last moment to change their direction off script? You could have an overview like Madden as Rodgers in this offense and still struggle because of the "talent" around him. Great breakdowns Kurt, one of the best to do it.
Kurt Warner needs an offensive coordinator job RIGHT NOW !!! I really want to see it so bad !! Obviously he's watched film on all the best offensive teams and he's also seen all the worse teams. Like come on Kurt I want to see your offense be ranked number 1 and specifically I wanna see you coach for my team the cowboys !!!
Based on this and other teams...and how they execute on the field. He probably doesn't want one!
These vids are great, I love your breakdowns, I could watch them all day. TY Kurt.
Kurt, been a fan a long time. Awesome to get your take on these things. It's like learning to cook from Bobby Flay. I don't think the Packers perimeter players are healthy. I think they can't get off the jam, getting beat on leverage and falling down as they are all in various states of repair. I think they can finish stong so long as they get more reps and can try to get healthy again. Sammy just needs more time in the system, I hope. He's shown earlier flashes before going out on ir.
Yeah, why are the WRs constantly falling down? I don't get it. It's on turf in a dome..perfect weather. ..unbelieveable!
I love these videos Kurt, keep em coming.
Looking forward to your next Dolphins breakdown!
It looks more like the receivers are the reason no Rodgers. The whole idea of not getting Aaron help from the draft has finally come to fruition
So everything is everyone elses fault but Aaron right?
@@user-qv4fp9vm8u watch the tape
@@sneakyracoon773 he is not blameless
@@user-qv4fp9vm8u never said that but people calling for him to be benched is crazy
@@user-qv4fp9vm8u like a receiver was falling on the ground almost half the plays ran. Aaron isn't blameless but the dude won back to back MVPs now is QB that should be benched? It's not all on him
This was awesome. A great look at the game we don't get to see during the game. Subscribed.
Sammy Watkins has no idea what routes he’s supposed to run. Terrible WR.
I can’t help but laugh at how many times Aaron must be going through his reads this season only to see one or more of his dudes eating turf. Comically bad.
Right. I was laughing the whole time. Dudes caught more falls than balls.
Love Kurt Warner. His career, story, glad he is still involved and providing this content.
Heartbreaking content, but love it as always.
I wonder if the offense was always this awful and adams just bailed them out all the time
🤔 It would certainly explain why he was force fed so many balls, if he was indeed the only receiver capable of running a route
No need to wonder. It’s amazing Gutenkunst didn’t know though.
@@winstonhermann3244 Brian and the front office are dumb
Excellent breakdown Kurt
Great breakdown as always. How many times did a receiver hit the ground? Jeesh. Can you do another review of Mac Jones? Seems to have totally regressed after a very promising rookie campaign. I know they switched up the offensive system but he looks totally lost out there and even unable to hit the easy check downs.. Would love to get your perspective on what's going wrong.
Yeah I was baffled at the receivers being attacked by the grass 3 different times. Probably more, he only showed specific plays.
@@sirkevstah289 Detroit did a really good job jamming the receivers and I think they were just tripping themselves trying to get through. Then a couple times in the 4th they were expecting to be jammed and the defender just pushed them aside.
Mac is a mediocre QB under the best circumstances, but Matt Patricia has put him in the worst possible position right now, so he looks terrible. I don't know why people are so surprised that the parts of the team Matt Patricia coaches look awful, we knew this was going to happen as soon as he was hired. The receivers don't know what they're doing, the O line can't block, and the opposing teams are literally calling out the plays that Patricia is running, so why would you expect Mac to look good right now?
Packers GM cost this team a SB or two the last few years, no idea how this guy still has a job. Rodgers has been begging for competent pass catchers besides Adams and they drafted backup QBs, RBs, linebackers, defensive tackles...... never once getting someone who was even an average WR or TE. Awful allocation of resources when you have one of the best QBs of all time, GM seemed to think he was the smartest guy in the room and let his ego get in the way. And for all the investments made on defense, they are average at best and decided to let one of the best pass rushers in the game walk to a division rival. What a disaster this GM has been.
It's fine if you think the GM is terrible but the weapons were good enough to win back to back MVPs, good enough to average over 2.5 passing TDs a game over the past two years, good enough to be first in scoring in 2020 and top ten in 2021, but all of a sudden not good enough to win in the playoffs? The team won 13 games a year the past two seasons. This year you wanna blame weapons, go for it, tough to argue.
The WR room Rodgers had last year was enough to win MVP, and then he no-showed in the playoffs (which is overshadowed by a dreadful special teams performance). In 2020 they lost to the Bucs and Rodgers 4th quarter passing (down 5) was two 3 and outs, and a drive where he threw 3 straight incompletions on the Tampa 8 yard line. The playoff losses were on everyone. GM not providing more talent in all three phases (especially special teams), coaches making questionable decisions (especially regarding offensive line construction), and also the QB, who didn't play up to expectations, certainly not anywhere near MVP standards.
He doesn’t have competent receivers because he’s so greedy. There was no money left to retain Adams or get another wideout. Brady took less and won Super Bowls.
*The GM has as a big EGO yes, but the 50 plus million Rodgers makes is also not helping. More so than anything, the coaching has lost the NFC playoff games the last few years. LaFluer is average coach and 2 straight years he took his foot and Rodgers foot off the gas. After 3 years with these coaches Rodgers became conservative and it’s all coming to a head in 2022. Worst part of it all is the QB has his best Defense since the Woodson championship defense in 2010*
Everyone that thinks Aaron is the problem needs to watch this.
These videos are very helpful for people like me who is an outsider to the game and is trying to understand the technicality of it. Keep them coming.
New offensive line, new receivers, new coaches, and injuries to boot
Thank you for this wonderfully explained video. No dramatics or any of that dumb shit. Just well explained facts, a rarity these days.
Excellent analysis what a great breakdown
at 7:20 the pass to sammy, it was a run play that rodgers decided to pull and throw. you can tell because the O line is blocking run and no one is really running a route. if he hands the ball off its likely a TD.
100%, you can tell in the longer video the LG is angry, presumably because it's a TD if he hands it off.
@@SpikedMocha and even if it isnt a TD rodgers has a habit of doing that. the off the helmet int was on the same play (or similar)
Every single big passing play Rodgers has to either scramble and create extra or drop the ball in the bucket. I could've told you 4 weeks ago he was gonna have more picks this season than practically any other. The way they're playing is not sustainable
Thank you Mr. Warner for giving us this! It's what Mr. Rodgers has been vaguely alluding to all season, without throwing anyone under the bus. Has he played great? No. But his receivers need to start giving him more opportunities, or else it'll just continue to be more of the same.
Wow. Was just saying to somebody at work I wish I could watch some film to see what Rodgers is seeing. Great break down. Thanks!
I’ve never understood x’s and o’s of football. These videos are super informative and interesting.
There must be something i don't understand about coaching. Because this all makes sense to me. I'm biased. Warner was always my favourite QB. Smart. Gutsy to a fault. Always did his job. But these all seem like coachable fixes.
The problem is you have guys like Sammy Watkins that have no idea what route they’re supposed to run let alone what leverage they’re supposed to get coming off the line. Just terrible WR play.
Need an ace receivers coach and smarter receivers
Been loving your breakdowns! Your channel is everything I enjoy most about watching football. I learn a ton every video. Everything about GB has been sloppy - WR play, game plan, lack of rush attack, subpar coaching, and poor decision making. The NFL doesn't lack talent by any means. Seems there are a few puzzle pieces that aren't quite fitting together for them this season.
love your breakdowns the best out of all in youtube thank you for bringing value
Would love to see some sort of video talking about the Rams and how bad their offense has been. Thanks for another great video!
Watching tape with Kurt Warner! Amazing channel.
Thank you for the well thought out presentation,......teaching
Thanks for this video. I was confused about why the Packers were not doing well but I could tell it was about miscommunication. I really enjoyed watching this thank you.
Well I learned Aaron didn't have his best game and that Watkins probably shouldn't be playing. Tons of mistakes and doesn't even attempt to block on the sweep play. Let Amari or Toure take his snaps.
Amari missed his block as well on that exact freaking play. Go look 12:30
But I agree, get Watkins off the field
No no no Amari is the worst 3rd round picko f all time.
Amari sucks. He should be packing grocery bags at the grocery store.
amari's run blocking is the main reason yoiu cant have him on the field for a team who's 2 best offensive weapons outside of QB are their rbs.
Again amazing analysis from the man. The bad part is this is a bottom 5 pass defense in the league. The road doesn’t get any easier from here. Im amazed at how often Packers receivers are falling down and running bad routes. Some of the picks were just pop up in heavy coverage. Trying to make a play and nobody coming down with it . This doesn’t even show all the drops from previous weeks or Doubs going down on his first catch/play and out for the game. It’s sad.
Good work Kurt.. would be good to see some tape on Jared goff
This is the view we should be watching the game from all the time. I can hardly believe we’re watching games without seeing the routes of wide receivers. We’ve pretty much been watching a farce of a game without this view.
Would be interesting in your Jordan Love Takes
i must be easily entertained cuz the very first play the yellow arrow showing watkins running away killed me 😂💀😂
This kinda highlights Allen Lazard as being at fault of alot of the problems which is kinda unfair. He was an undrafted player for a reason and has been an overachiever his whole career to have gotten to the point he is at now. He has made some great catches like the one highlighted but in terms of speed off the snap, strength to beat press coverage, things like that he falls short because of his significant physical limitations. He is a 3rd probably 4th receiver who is trying to fill the role of a #1. The issue is not the rookies or Lazard, the player who always runs the wrong routes and is being called out by Aaron so publicly is clearly Sammy Watkins... who is easily the most talented of the bunch but seems to be lost on every play.
Sammy isn’t more talented than any wide receiver on that team. Dude is done he’s got nothing left and I say that respectfully.
I think Aaron understands that its not Lazards fault that he became a #1 by default which is why I think hes really tried to get close with him. Rodgers must really hate the GM. I would if I were him.
@@Kt31821 he might have been more physically talented 6 or 7 years ago. Right now he looks like hes running though mud compared to the other players on the pitch. Does not look like an NFL calibre athlete at all this year.
Kurt, I loved watching you play man. Congratulations on such a great career!
This is fantastic study ball Kurt! Thank you. Only a gold jacket QB could provide this level of analysis. Keep rockin🎸🎶👍🏽
As a long time Packers fan, I’ve seen the Packers lose badly and have bad seasons but I can’t remember seeing them play this bad week to week. They’re completely inept. They have nothing good going right now and they have nothing to build off of. I don’t know who they can beat and can’t see them getting better anytime soon.
Aaron Rodgers will always be my QB1. It's all hate for whatever reason people want to dream up. This man is a fuckin treasure, and I really don't want to see him in another uniform fucking the Packers up their asses. He can still sling it. His mental capacity for dissecting defenses is unmatched. Put a great O-line in front and a great RB1 and 2 in back, and put good veterans WRs TEs out there, and he'll still drop a 40 burger on you. I thought we had the first 2 but we haven't had the receivers in a long time. Way to go All IN!!
Thanks Kurt, you are awesome!
Loosing MVS and Adams and replaced them with rookies and Sammy that’s the issue.
When the NFL used the wonderlic test to measure intelligence, the position that performed the worst, year in and year out, was wide receiver. Meaning, wide receivers are the least intelligent players on a team. Bring Sammy Watkins in and expect him to learn a new system is going to take awhile. Smartest position on a team? Center.
great analysis. always seemed like a great guy. man, i really wanted him and larry fitzgerald to win that super bowl against the steelers that year....
amazing breakdown, more pls
Excellent evaluation! Thank you.
Thanks for this. I wish you did the other games for the losses as well but yeah everything is just bad. Bad route running, bad decisions on the route, not able to stay upright, constantly getting jammed like dang. Now they might only be dressing 4 WRs and gonna be shirt handed. There's gotta be a FA better. Just has to be
Magnificent breakdown by Kurt Warner!
I kind of agree with Aaron on this. Watkins needs off the field, now. He is completely lost out there. It's crazy, because we got a vet so he could learn the playbook faster than the rookies, but he's lost on every play.
But isn’t all this stuff ingrained in these professional athletes at the high school and college levels? How are pro athletes repeatedly making what I assume are fundamental mistakes?
Pro athletes were standouts in college and HS. Pro wide receivers all got separation and were superior athletes - they didn’t need to be nuanced. Warner is pointing out the details that are necessary to win in the pro game where everyone is good - unless you are an all-pro, maybe.
outstanding thx for the great work
Thank you Kurt Warner. I learned so much.
Them losing Luke Getsy killed their offense
I would much rather watch this on ESPN instead of listening to Stephen A Smith call Aaron a “bad man” when he’s doing well. Then call him a crappy player when they’re losing. Great break down.
Wow. No idea of all this. Thanks, Kurt.
It seems like there's a ton of bad decision making on this team. I understand that's a broad term and it doesn't really help, but when you look at the play calling and the utilization next to an analysis like this you've gotta wonder how it's *all* going poorly. Multiple times this year they've been in position to win the game with a score and they end it on multiple incompletions. They have time on the clock, they have multiple downs left, and sometimes they only need one yard. Why with two high end RBs are you still throwing the football to receivers that you know have been ineffective? Just from this Lions game they had 55 seconds, two timeouts, and two receivers injured. Rodgers has been frustrated all day with receivers on the ground and running bad routes and he's thrown three picks. Yet you still try to throw it all four downs. Is it play calling? Is it Rodgers trying to play hero ball? Is it a severe lack of confidence in the running game? I don't know. I don't think it's a lack of talent. It's just insane to me that you'd throw four straight incompletions when you know you've been struggling with your receivers all season and today has been worse than that.
Thanks for your analyses . Hard to see them throw passes inside the 5 yard line though when we have running backs to punch it in.
Great video, as always.
The best 34:08 minutes on UA-cam.
A comparison with the chiefs offence would be great, where everyones seemingly always open on every play.
Not true at all. Chiefs receivers struggle to win 1 on 1. Better scheme though and Mahomes can extend plays giving them more time to get open.
Thats not true at all. Watch the freaking games, Mahones has been either running or taking sacks most of the year cause the WRs take too long to get open.
In the play around 3:00 the whole offensive line and RB were also running left
National Media week 16 when the Packers are 3-12: “Never count Rodgers out!”
I mean most National Media hate Rodgers lmao. Pat will be betting on the Packers again this week like a Stooge though
"Never count Rodgers out"
Unless it's the playoffs
DId you even watch the video my dude?
Did not say this time 'Kurt what would you do differently?' Outstanding thank you
