Yes, it does. Sherman's system left little room for the QB to change the play at the LOS (ie, audible out of plays that he could see weren't going to work.) The QB was there primarily to deliver the ball. MMs schemes give the QB more options to change the play; he actually runs the offense...

Brett remains very attached to both his college community in Mississippi as well as his hometown Kiln. Earlier in his career, he said he would like to coach high school football, but I think his career has taken him beyond that. Maybe he'll be A.D. of his alma mater, Southern Miss some day.

Both KGB and Kampy wore down at the end of the season... and were non-factors in GB's match to get into the SB. GB trading the Williams pick and a 4th to get an impact pass-rusher, which they can afford by re-negotiting KGB's contract, sounds like a dream team to me. I will make a bold...

Jason Taylor is NOTHING like Joe Johnson. He's a bonafide "super star" who, at 34, finds himself on a rebuilding team with a new GM ready to change from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defense. Did anyone catch that the 'fins just inked a deal with Calvin Pace? That might be a signal that JT is moving on...

Jason Taylor was DPOY in 2006. He wants a shot at a SB... and knows it ain't gonna happen in MIA. Pulling off this trade would be a tremendous coup for TT - equivalent, IMHO, to Wolf signing Reggie White. Probably too good to be true..

Brady played it "smart" in the SB... and lost gracefully. Manning winged it out there.... was nearly intercepted a number of times, but also made the great plays that eventually won the game. (PS - don't cite any s&*^ about how Brady's defense couldn't hold on NY's final drive! If Brady had...

If Rodgers had won the game in Dallas and then stayed healthy enough to play the next couple of games when Favre's arm was healing, we might be having a different conversation. He couldn't, he didn't, and until he proves that he can, the starting job in GB will be Favre's. And before you...

He had also sent balls to other receivers on numerous occasions and they.... um ... dropped the ball. Of course, I would have double-bagged a couple of them.

Would love to see Wahle back in G&G on a 1-yr deal. Makes more sense than overpaying Faneca.

Yeah.. stopping Favre has been the focus of opponents' defensive game plans for 17 years. He doesn't frustrate easily; he can't always get 'er done, but he'll keep firing until the whistle blows. It looks like Eli may finally be ready to match the enormous expectations placed on him. If...

Brady is in the mold of Montana.... a great system QB who sees the field, is patient and knows what he is looking for. He strives for perfection and operates best when he has the tools to be perfect (ie, a great O-line that gives him time to let the play develop, good WRs, and a good game plan.)...

Great post, as usual. Bruce always presents a fair and balanced view, informed by his tremendous understanding of what it takes to play, and win football games.

You need to pull back a couple of frames, to the one before he winds up to release the ball. My guess is that at this point, Brett has already realized that 1) Donald was breaking to the outside instead of the inside, and 2) he hadn't gotten enough on the ball. Showing where the ball was at...

Early in the year, analysts said that GB would have to develop a running game to be a real contender. Ryan Grant emerged and seemed to take some pressure off our 38-yr old QB to carry the load. It turned out that our run game worked when - and because - teams respected our pass-first...

Your mission, Green Bay Packers, should you choose to accept it.....
