Jermichael Finley Could Be In For A Big Night Against The Bears

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers seemed to suggest that TE Jermichael Finley will be one of the focal points of their offensive attack against the Bears.

โ€œWhen youโ€™ve got a big body running down the seams with a large margin of error for the throw because of his range and his hands, it gives you a lot of confidence,โ€ Rodgers said, via 540 ESPN. โ€œJermichael, confidence-wise, is very high. We have a lot of confidence in him and just have to find ways to get him the ball.โ€

Last week, Rodgers looked Finleyโ€™s way 11 times, which lead the team in targets. During their first meeting against the Bears last year, Finley posted his best game of the entire season when he caught 7 passes for 85 yards and 3 touchdowns. Green Bay has had Finley working the middle of the field for the most part, which is probably a good idea, considering that Brian Urlacher is dealing with a knee injury that seemed to limit his lateral mobility. The fact that Greg Jennings remains a question mark for tonightโ€™s game, also suggests that the Packers will have to prepare someone else to handle an increased workload if needed.
