Without a good push up the midle of DE's will not be able to really rush Rodgers. They need to stay home and contain him so he isn't allowed to run free on the outside. Without Onyamata pushing the middle Rodgers will probably have time in the pocket to dissect our defense. I expect to see even more blitzes than we had last year.
