If the defense knows that Rodgers is going to key on the LOLB from a certain set, then they can start to decoy with the LOLB on occasion to throw him off. It's what Belichick did with Manning when he was up in his dome.
Ultimately I also wonder if we won't see more wide-9 sets with standup ends or even more 2-4-5 packages where you have 2 down lineman and 2 standup backers that switch off based on a read of their own. Ultimately it would just come down to going faster and more varied than the QB can read/react.
And as you get more 2-4-5 sets, you'd have more power running games and the cycle continues...
I really do hope the NFL rules committee does something to give some hope back to defenses. We're starting to shade a little more towards that arcade football that Herm warned us all about.

yep and I already miss the big hits between safeties & RB's.
