I am sure it was the defense called, and I won't pretend to know why or even guess what Zimmer was doing there. For me it is one of those plays that I just say "duh" seems obvious to me, but that is why I am watching and not coaching.@greediron said:
i dont think rhodes should have been playing as soft to begin with. not sure why a premier defender is giving that kind of cushion that close to the endzone.@JimmyinSD said:
With Barr's help, they should have held him out of the endzone. Rhodes played it right after the catch, waited for help.@greediron said:
I dont know that "trapped" is the word I would use, but yes Barr did miss a tackle there, however I dont think Rhodes makes that play no matter how Barr plays it, he was to far off to prevent the TD, IIRC.@JimmyinSD said:
looking at some highlights, one big catch was when Rodgers had all day (no holding calls of course) and Adams worked back across to get open. Another big one was when Sendejo got the hit to the head flag. Rhodes was all over Adams but it was a great throw and catch.@greediron said:
So Adams had 8 for 64 and a TD. Was Rhodes on him the whole time? Dunno for sure. 8 catches seems like too many, but GB was running lots of short routes and underneath stuff to keep Rodgers healthy. So it seemed like lots of damage, but 8 catches for only 64 yards is pretty low on the yardage, especially against Rodgers. I know, I am just thinking that he is being targeted and that didnt happen last year or the year before and when he was tested he was making plays. ( and no I didnt miss that awesome pick last week) I am just wondering what is going on with our shut down corner, has his kryptonite been found? 8 for 64 is still an 8 yard average, depending on when those 8 yard gains happen it could be a big thing or no big deal.
The TD, Rhodes was playing off for some reason and Adams ran a very short out. Rhodes had him trapped short of the goal but Barr over-pursued and let him score.
