the reason teams don’t care to double team Adams is because then Aaron Jones goes off on them. If you can’t stop the run it’s over in any football game
If we can hold down Adams, I will take my chances with their running game. And you can mix it up some — just clamp down on Adams in those third and 5-10 yd. we have no chance of stopping him with single coverage in that situation.
Teams with a shut down corner fare well against us.
Good article, thanks for the link. This stat in that article was interesting due to the fact the Bears have had some very stout defenses in the Rodgers years. Horrific offenses, but some of the defenses have been really good.
"In NFL history, no quarterback has a higher passer rating against the Bears than Rodgers (105.3)."
I think the problem many of your defenses had is they got gassed because the offense kept going 3 and out... Also Rodgers probably has that stat against a few teams.

Sure, a shutdown corner can neutralize ARob, and that shuts down a big part of the Bears offense.
