Morning Buzz: Offensive fireworks on the horizon?

Welcome to your Morning Buzz, rounding up news and views regarding the Green Bay Packers from around the web and here at PackersNews.com. Grab a strong cup of coffee and get caught up on everything you need to know about the Packers.

We’ll start with Pete Dougherty’s look at the explosive potential on the offensive side of the ball after a sit down with Aaron Rodgers.

From Pete:

Rodgers’ one series was too sharp to dismiss. Fifteen plays, 67 yards and a touchdown. Randall Cobb, Adams, Jordy Nelson and Bennett all had catches. On one vintage snap, Rodgers won a free shot downfield — it was incomplete — when he caught Washington with 12 men on the field. He also scrambled for two first downs.

The ease with which the Packers moved down the field really did feel like ’11. That season, coming off a Super Bowl win, the Packers were flush with attractive options in the passing game: Greg Jennings, Jermichael Finley, an ascending Nelson, James Jones, a descending Donald Driver and the rookie Cobb.

“We were really, really tough to stop that year,” Rodgers said during a recent sit-down. “If you played man we could beat you with a bunch of different guys, played zone we were going to pick you apart. We have a chance (to be that good this year), but I think it’s going to be more of a work in progress.”
