[QUOTE="94niners, post: 301752, member: 3873"] I joined just to comment on this thread. I'm obviously not a Packer fan (although I am for the next two weeks. I won't be able to stomach the Steelers getting 7 rings). But a lot of people I know are just comparing the two teams position by position, but a lot of people are missing other similarities. Neither team had ONE solid super star at the top of the league at the receiver position, but both were loaded with GOOD receivers, TEs and backs. Freeman and Brooks, Beebe, Rison (for a while), even Mayes. Meanwhile, the 2010 team has Jennings, Driver, Jones, Nelson, and of course, Finley and Jackson. The 96 team had 5 players with 30+ receptions. The 2010 team has 5 players with 40+ receptions. They both ran a version of the Walsh offense, featuring quick slants being taken for big gains and mastery of the screen game. Defensively, the schemes are not as similar, but the fire zone was sometimes used by the 96 team, and they had ball hawking rovers on D, just like the 2010 team. The big differentiation is obviously special teams, but other than a lack of a Desmon Howard, and more use of spread formations, this 2010 team is eerily similar to the 1996 one. [/QUOTE]
