Mason Crosby has been pretty solid for the Packers this season. He has made 14 of 18 field goals and 17 of 18 extra points so far this year. The Packers have a really good offense so Crosby will be among the league leaders in points at the end of the season.
All of the headlines in the passing game go to Donald Driver and Greg Jennings but the tight ends of the Packers have been quietly productive. Jermichael Finley is the best of the bunch as he has caught 17 passes for 260 yards (15.3 avg) with 1 TD grab. Donald Lee has been really effective on the short stuff as he has caught 19 passes for 152 yards (8.0 avg) this year. Spencer Hafner has come out of nowhere lately as he has caught 4 passes for 89 yards (22.3 avg) with a TD this season. The Packers will continue to throw the ball a lot to the TEs especially with all of the protection problems that the O-Line is having.
Charles Woodson and Al Harris are the guys who make the biggest plays on the defense for the Packers. Woodson is having another outstanding season with 20 tackles, 3 tackles for a loss, he has defensed 3 passes and he has 3 interceptions (1 returned for a TD). Al Harris is on the other side of the defense and he has 21 tackles, 2 passes defensed and 1 interception. If the Packers got more pressure on the QB (only 5 sacks this season) then Woodson and Harris would even make more impact plays as it’s hard to cover WRs too long.
Veteran WR Donald Driver has been Aaron Rodgers’ favorite target so far this year. He has caught 14 passes for 233 yards (16.6 avg) with 2 TD grabs so far this season. The last couple of years Greg Jennings has been the Packers’ WR of choice but there is room for both of them in the passing game which makes the Packers even more dangerous on offense.
The Packers are allowing 217.0 yards passing this season but you can’t blame that on Charles Woodson. Woodson has made 12 tackles, 1 for a loss, he’s defensed 2 passes and he has picked off two passes (1 returned for a TD). With Al Harris on the other side it forces teams to challenge each of the Packers’ corners who are both really solid cover men. Look for Woodson to be in the Pro Bowl again this season for the Pack.
