Anyway, I didnt catch, but I heard Rodgers played poorly.

It was also on a "4th down" play during the two-minute drill. Not a big deal at all.

Having seen the scrimmage live, I agree that Rodgers didn't look all that great, but then again, apart from the first "drive", nobody on the offense looked that great. Matt Flynn threw a great post-flag route, but Taj Smith couldn't make the catch. Lots of dropped passes during the scrimmage.

I thought the defense looked very good. Peprah was all over the place making plays, and Pat Lee did a good job in coverage. I was trying to pay more attention to the linebackers to see if they were blitzing more, but I didn't notice much of a difference from last season.

I wouldn't expect to see alot of blitzing in a scrimmage or even the preseason because the Packers would want to use that as a dynamic against opposing teams and don't want to allow teams to break down their various blitz packages...

There isn't much blitzing by anybody in the preseason. Offenses usually aren't that sharp so bringing additional pressure just throws them off even further.
