Dougherty: Packers attack CB problem but neglect pass rush

Or did Dom Capers seriously dial up a formation on D that called for there to be a massive, wide open chunk of field guarded only by an OLB with one functioning hand who had absolutely no leverage to cover an inside break?
yes
 
Against CLEV you can see Martinez coming on an inside blitz and he gets stoned at the LOS.
Good play call, and good execution by CLEV on that play.

Martinez was lined up on the right shoulder of the C. It wound up being a 4 man rush against 5 OL. No deception, no chance of success. Even if it wasn't called, don't one of Matthews or Martinez have to know that there is going to be a giant gap behind them and adjust accordingly?
