GREEN BAY, Wis. The Green Bay Packers scored only two offensive touchdowns in Sundays lo s at the Washington Commanders Matt Harvey Jersey . Quarterback Aaron Rodgers didnt convert a single third down, didnt reach 100 pa sing yards until the final play of the third quarter and didnt complete a single pa s thrown 10-plus yards downfield until the final minutes.Nonethele s, it was his highest-graded game of the season.I grade what I see, quarterbacks coach Tom Clements said on Thursday.The 69-year-old Clements was coaxed out of retirement by Rodgers and coach Matt LaFleur to fill the void created when Luke Getsy became the Bears offensive coordinator. Clements originally joined the Packers in 2006 and was the quarterbacks coach for the first six seasons of an 11-year run with team. As such, he watched Rodgers go from Brett Favres backup to Super Bowl champion and NFL MVP.Rodgers didnt want Clements just to have a friend and fan to hang out with in the quarterbacks room. He wanted Clements because hes a stickler on the finer points of quarterback play.Tom doesnt realize when I was a young player, I wanted nothing Jeurys Familia Jersey more than to make Tom Clements happy, following the first day of training camp. And it was incredible motivation for me because I would have great games in my opinion 100 quarterback rating, three touchdowns and Tom would give me a minus performance. Id say, that mother. But it motivated me because I loved that Tom held me accountable in more ways than just the stat sheet. It was all about the fundamentals, the decision-making, the footwork and stuff that really actually has molded me into the quarterback I am today. So, on Day 1, to get a fist-bump, I said, Tom, you havent seen me play in a while. That was for you. So, that felt good.Not much about this season has felt good for Rodgers. When the Packers traded Davante Adams, it wasnt just that Rodgers lost his favorite receiver. It was as if Rodgers and Adams shared the same brain. No matter what everyone else was doing on offense, Rodgers knew what Adams was going to do. It wasnt that they were on the same page. They were on the same sentence on that page.Without Adams getting open and making those big-time plays on third down, Packers are 3-4 and have lost three consecutive games. With an abundance of mental errors and injuries including to the thumb on his throwing hand this season has been incredibly challenging. Rodgers hasnt always met the challenge but hes hardly Travis D'Arnaud Jersey the biggest reason for Green Bays consistently inconsistent play.His grades were all about the same general area this season, Clements said. It was just a couple percentage points higher against Washington , so it was graded out the way I grade him out.The Packers will need Rodgers and everyone else to rise to the occasion on Sunday night at Buffalo. Green Bay is 23rd in the league in scoring while Buffalo is No. 1 in points allowed. Adding to the challenge, Rodgers most reliable receivers, Allen Lazard ( ) and Randall Cobb (ankle; injured reserve), figure to be on the sideline. With that, Rodgers is going to have to rely on receivers who have been unreliable. Sammy Watkins is in his first season with the team. Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson and Samori Toure are rookies. On the practice squad are Juwann Yoenis Cespedes Jersey Winfree, who has one catch and one drop this season, and Travis Fulgham, who hasnt played for the Packers in a regular-season game.It almost seems like Mi sion Impo sible to cobble together a winning pa sing attack against a quarterback-sacking, ball-hawking Bills defense.I think hes playing well, Clements said. Each game, there are going to be some plays that dont turn out as well for any number of reasons. But I think, overall, hes playing well. Weve had Juan Lagares Jersey spurts where the entire team has been playing well. We just havent been able to do it consistently for a whole game. Thats, obviously, something that needs to be corrected.Scroll to ContinueWhat does playing well even mean? Clements was quarterbacks coach for the first of Rodgers MVP seasons in 2011 and offensive coordinator for the second in 2014. He was the a sistant head coach in 2016, when the Packers started 4-6 but won their final six games behind a series of virtuoso performances from Rodgers.Im not going to make an a se sment of whether its an MVP-type year or an all-star year, Clements said. I think hes playing well. We have to play well more consistently overall. Everybody.Was Rodgers playing well in 2016? What does well mean by comparison to his elite seasons?I cant give you an a se sment of that, Clements said. Hes just playing well.More Green Bay Packers News ?
