As the old NFL adage goes, it’s not who you play but when you play them. Sports columnist Brad Biggs says that logic could apply to the Chicago Bears’ Week 2 matchup Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers.
An old NFL adage is it’s not who you play but when you play them.
“The first thing Michael McCaskey went over when I came here to interview for the job was to make sure I knew about the rivalry,” Smith said after the 2010 season as the Bears prepared to meet the Packers in the NFC championship game. “He let me know a little bit about it then too. Believe me, we know exactly how we’re supposed to feel about that rivalry.”
The Packers have faced questions since the spring about how Rodgers, 38, would remain at the top of his game after the trade of wide receiver Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders. Things didn’t go well in Minnesota as Rodgers completed 22 of 34 passes for 195 yards with an interception. More concerning is the offensive line, and this is where the Bears ought to look for edges they can exploit. Left tackle David Bakhtiari and right tackle Elgton Jenkins sat out Week 1 as they recover from ACL reconstructions. They reportedly might miss at least one more week, which would mean Yosh Nijman and Royce Newman are the starting tackles.With left guard Jon Runyan in concussion protocol, it could be a makeshift line in front of Rodgers.
