Packers Film Room: Packers offense takes advantage of WFT coverage adjustments

As he rolls right, he sees Adams and throws it across the field across his body and Adams does the rest.

The pass protection eventually lets a pass rusher through so Rodgers slides to his left to avoid while throwing Allen Lazard open away from the defender over the middle for a 13 yard gain.

The play call is 3×1 four verticals.

To the right, the route combo is a flat-7 smash combination, a high-low read on the flat defender in zone coverage or a 1-on-1 matchup in press man coverage with no over the top safety help and no defender sinking under the corner.

The trips side runs double moves by Adams and Cobb where they appear to switch release, trying to get the defenders to bite on the routes.

The play call is a double stick concept and is designed to get the offense yards and away from their goal line.

Rodgers sees no throw on his drop back to the left, sees the safety down, and throws down the sideline to Adams over the defender.

The throw is quick and on time and shields Tonyan from a potentially big hit as the safety comes across to tackle him.

The Packers are going to be without Allen Lazard for the Thursday night game due to COVID-19 protocols and also likely without Adams due to the same issue unless Adams tests negative twice in 24 hours.
