Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has always been known as a guy that likes to spread the ball around, but even he knows that he needs to get the ball more to his star receiver, Davante Adams.
In the Packers' last game against the New England Patriots, Adams was constantly getting double teamed, but Rodgers saw a couple of opportunities that he missed where he could have gotten him the ball.
“I need to keep feeding Davante in those clutch situations. That’s what I’m most disappointed in myself about, is having him a couple times,” Rodgers said after the game via Wisconsin State Journal. “The one time, I threw it to ‘EQ’ (rookie Equanimeous St. Brown) because he was coming open a little quicker than I thought he would. Maybe (I should) hold onto that and try to hit Davante down the field. He’s a tough cover and I’ve got to keep finding ways to get him the football.”
Rodgers also circled back to the question during the interview saying he needs to make sure that he is looking more towards Adams.
““I’ve got to keep finding ways to get him the ball. We’ve got to keep moving him around. We did a good job (against the Patriots) of moving him around (to the) No. 2, No. 3 (spots). But I’ve got to keep looking his way.”
Adams still has had a nice season catching 58 passes for 730 yards and seven touchdowns. The Packers are sitting with a 3-4-1 record and they have an uphill battle to make the playoffs. If Rodgers and the crew want any chance to make it, they need to get Adams hands on the ball more.
