OFFENSIVE NEEDS TO STEP UP!

The Green Bay Packers offense really needs to get rolling after the first two preseason games haven't been spectacular. Rodger's gave a quality quarter against the Bengals in the first game, but next to nothing against San Francisco. The whole offense sputtered throught the game regardless of what unit was on the field. Some things to note so far about teh offense:

• The offensive line has not gelled yet to play at their full potential. Mental mistakes along with simply being overpowered in certain cases led to Rodgers never being able to have time to hit his recievers.
• The wide recieving corps has had TOO many dropped balls, I know tehy happen but this unit can and SHOULD play better once the regular season starts.
• Rodgers has had one good quarter and one bad half so far in the preseason. The 49ers are not a very good defensive team so the way he played was surprising. But again, the line is where it all starts so Rodgers gets only part of the blame for the offensive futility.
• Ryan Grant has still not played a preseason game after a short holdout to get his new deal in place. He is critical and the centerpiece of the offense that will feature a lot of running this year as Rodgers acclimates to being a starting QB in the NFL, his non-presence so far cannot be forgotten when assessing the starting offense.

Basically the bottom line is that our offensive line play MUST IMPROVE for the offense to play up to its potential, which is very high. I must say rookie OG Josh Sitton has not shown the quality play in games that he has in practice and training camp, and maybe inserting veteran Darryn Colledge would be a wise move. He knows the system very well and while not a great player is obviously better at thsi moment than a rookie. Hopefully the offense gets going against Denver so they can get the ball rolling so when the Regular season starts they are hitting on all cylinders.
