We need to reload,\u201d Rodgers said. \u201cWe have a lot of players who are young who are big contributors for us. We just need to reload a bit this offseason.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">At the top of that priority list, Rodgers said, is re-signing tight end Jared Cook, who played on a one-year deal this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">But Sunday\u2019s loss in Atlanta revealed other areas where the Packers need to improve around 33-year-old Rodgers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Green Bay\u2019s offensive line depth was decimated against the Falcons, after injuries to guards Lane Taylor and T.J. Lang and tackle Bryan Bulaga. And the running game was non-existent, like it was for much of the year after Eddie Lacy\u2019s season-ending foot injury in October. The Packers rushed for just 99 yards against Atlanta \u2013 with 46 of those yards coming from Rodgers on scramble plays.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Sunday\u2019s loss was a disappointing end to Rodgers\u2019 hot streak, as the Packers won eight consecutive games to reach the NFC title game. During that run, Rodgers threw 21 touchdowns and just one interception. Sunday in Atlanta, he added three more touchdowns, all in the second half, and threw one pick, while his 287 passing yards was his fewest since Week 15.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">\u201cI still feel pretty young,\u201d Rodgers said. \u201cI think I have a number of years left in me to play at a high level, and we just have to make sure we\u2019re going all in every year to win. I think we can take a big step this offseason.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\">Now Rodgers will have to wait until spring to see if general manager Ted Thompson was listening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Source:-\u00a0http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/packers\/2017\/01\/22\/aaron-rodgers-green-bay-nfc-championship-game\/96935658\/<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/www.biphoo.com\/bipnews\/sports\/aaron-rodgers-packers-need-reload-not-rebuild.html\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 630px !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aaron Rodgers: Packers need to reload, not rebuild Aaron Rodgers: Packers need to reload, not rebuild:- Even after a lopsided 44-21 loss to the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship Game, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers doesn\u2019t think his team needs major changes to win more games next year.
