James Campen: 'Aaron Rodgers needs protection'

James Campen has said that the Green Bay Packers must provide better protection to Aaron Rodgers.

The quarterback was sacked five times in the Packers' loss to the New York Giants on Sunday.

The offensive line coach told the franchise's website: "Anytime that quarterback gets hit – it's not just sacks, if it's a hit or a pressure – it's a big deal.

"The quarterback has to be protected. Now, we all know at times he's not going to be. There's going to be times he's going to get hit. But the frequency is too great, and yeah, it's a big deal."

The Packers face NFC North rivals the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
