Just re watched the season opener last night- IMO the play of the front 7 will be key to both containing Lacy and also disrupting Rodgers throws on passing downs. We played really good coverage in the opener but if you give Aaron enough time, it doesn't matter. He can thread the passes into any window no matter the coverage. It was when the line had disrupted his rhythm was when we had success in stopping them on third down (not necessarily great coverage). The key is to alter his passing lanes, make him move off his intended spot. I thought Bennett had a fantastic game against Rodgers in this regard and I have a feeling he will make an impact again tomorrow. As far as containing Lacy, our LBs and Kam will be key. Lacy will get through the line, it's what happens when he does that will determine their success. In the season opener, Wags had an awesome game tackling him for minimal gains and losses. Same thing tomorrow will be needed.
I'm really not worried about our offense tomorrow. I expect a healthy dose of Lynch and TOP. We will score at least 20 points. The key will be stopping their offense, and IMO it has to come down to that front 7, particularly the pass rush.
