How Packers defense, Micah Parsons contained Aaron Rodgers in Week 8 | PSNFF | NFL on NBC
COACH. HOW DID THEY FLIP THIS GAMEN HALF NUMBER 2. >> WELL I THOUGHT BOTH TEAMS FROM TALKING TO THEM BEFORE THE GAME CAME IN WITH THE SAME GAME PLAN. WE’VE GOT TO RUN THE BALL, CONTROL THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE, GET RID OF THE BALL QUICK, STAY ON SCHEDULE. IN THE FIRST HALF IT WAS ALL PITTSBURGH. PITTSBURGH WAS RUNNING. I HAD ON MY NOTES NO RUN GAME FROM GREEN BAY. PITTSBURGH HAD THAT BIG PACKAGE. THEY PUT THE BIG TIGHT ENDS ON THE LEFT AND WERE RUNNING IT WELL. THE SECOND HALF THEY FLIPPED THE SWITCH. THEY PUT EMANUEL WILSONN, GOT THE RUN GAME GOING. AND TO ME THAT CHANGED THE WHOLE GAME. >> I THOUGHT JORDAN LOVE WAS SMART ENOUGH TO GET THE BALL TO TUCKER KRAFT BECAUSE I TOLD YOU GUYS IN PREGAME THERE’S NOBODY ON THE STEELERS THAT CAN DEFEND THIS GUY BECAUSE HE’S SO BIG, HE’S SO ATHLETIC AND HE HAD A PHENOMENAL GAME. >> AND THEY HAD REALLY THE AARON RODGERS GAME PLAN IN THE SECOND HALF. THE PACKERS DID. WE’RE GOING TO RUN THE BALL RUN THE BALL THROW IT QUICK. GET IT TO MY TIGHT ENDS. GET IT TO THOSE GUYS AND LET THEM RUN AFTER THE CATCH. AND THE MOMENTUM JUST CHANGED IN THAT SECOND HALF. >> BUT YOU ALSO THINK ABOUT RASHAN GARY AND GUY THAT PLAYS OPPOSITE OF MICAH PARSONS. HE GETS ALL THE DOUBLE TEAMS, MICAH GETS ALL THE TRIPLE TEAMS. AND THIS GUY TAKES ADVANTAGE OHIS ONE ON ONE OPPORTUNITIES. AND HE PLAYED OUTSTANDING. TODAY. >> JACK AND I THOUGHT THEY DID E REALLY, REALLY SMART THING. MICAH WAS GETTING CHIPPED AND DOUBLE TEAMED ON THE OUTSIDE AND THEN IN THE OBVIOUS PASS SITUATIONS IN THE SECOND HALF, THEY MOVED HIM INSIDELET HIM RUSH OVER THE GUARDS. HE WAS BEATING PEOPLE INSIDE AND FORCING RODGERS NOT TO STEP UP. >> JEFF HAFLEY DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR. HE DID A GREAT JOB OF JUST UTILIZING WHAT HE DOES BEST. MICAH PARSONS, LIKE YOU TALKED ABOUT PUTTING HIM IN THE MIDDLE, ALLOWING HIM TO GO AGAINST THE CENTER OR GUARD. FAT GUYS THAT HE CAN BEAT OFF THE RUN. >> AT WHAT POINT DID YOU FEEL IN TROUBLE WITH. STARTING TO BE >> THIS PASS. >> RUSH TONIGHT? >> WELL, WHEN THEY LOST THE RUNNING GAME AND THAT REALLY HAPPENED WHEN SEUMALO THE GUARD GOT HURT AND THEY HAD TO MOVE THERE. THEY HAD THAT BIG PACKAGE TIGHT END AND A TACKLE OUTSIDE. THEY’RE RUNNING TO THE LEFT RUNNING AT PARSONS. AND THEN THEY HAD TO MOVE HIM IN TO TAKE SEUMALO PLACE. THEY LOST THAT ATTACK. THEY COULDN’T RUN IT IN THE SECOND HALF. AND THEN IT WAS ALL PASS RUSH AND IT GOT SCARY FOR. >> RODGERS AND COACH. IF YOU THOUGHT IF YOU LOOK AT THE PACKERS, THE PACKERS DEFENSIVELY, THEY CAN JUST BASICALLY SIT ON A LOT OF THESE ROUTES BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT BEING THREATENED DOWN THE FIELD? >> WELL, I THINK THAT CAME FROM KNOWING AARON RODGERS AND PLAYING WITH HIM AND KNOWING WHEN THERE’S A BIG PASS RUSH, HE’S GETTING RID OF THE BALL QUICK. SO THEY WERE LOOKING FOR ALL THOSE SHORT INTEEDIATE ROUTES. THEY WERE SITTING ON THEM AND. >> DROPPING, BUT ALSO JUST WATCHING THE TAPE. WHEN YOU WATCH THE TAPE, THAT’S ALL THEY’VE DONE THIS YEAR. COACH, IS THE QUICK PASSING GAME. THEY DON’T TAKE MANY SHOTS DOWN THE FIELD. THEY DON’T THREATEN YOU DOWN THE FIELD. SO I MEAN, IT’S EASIER AS A DEFENSE TO SIT ON THOSE ROUTES, PLAY MAN CLOSER OR EVEN ZONE MORE AGGRESSIVELY. >> BALL IS COMING OUT. FAST. >> MORE IMPRESSIVE FOR YOU WATCHING THE OENSIVE SIDE OF THE FOOTBALL FOR GREEN BAY OR THE DEFENSIVE SIDE OF THE. >> FOOTBALL, TO ME IT WAS JORDAN LOVE IN THAT OFFENSE. JORDAN LOVE WAS FANTASTIC TONIGHT. I THINK AT 1.20 STRAIGHT COMPLETIONS, BUT JUST KNOWING WHERE TO GO, TAKING THE THROWS THAT WERE AVAILABLE AND THEN EVERY NOW AND THEN W
