[QUOTE="Pack93z, post: 161028, member: 288"] From the Jsonline blog... Brett sounds very frustrated with himself an the youth around him. Catch the last comment... 5 more years? Overall doesn't sound especially positive. Green Bay - Quarterback Brett Favre might be in his 17th season in the National Football League but Saturday night in Pittsburgh was one of his all-time summer lows, he said today. "I was as frustrated when I came out as I think I've ever been in pre-season," Favre said during his second press briefing of the Green Bay Packers' training camp. "Knowing that their scheme poses problems and it would be difficult, I just expect more from myself and the offense in general. It wasn't so much what they did but what we didn't do." Favre played the entire first quarter in the Packers' 13-9 victory over the Steelers, failing to generate a single first down in four three-and-out possessions. "Talent alone does not get you championships," said Favre. "Chemistry does. We have to find it fast. There will be a lot of ups and downs along the way. We have to get a little bit better each week." Among Favre's other comments were these: On the past: "Our play-calling is different. We have a different head coach, different coaches, different players. A lot has changed. In games from the past, you go out and can do things blindfolded. Whereas last year and this year, we're constantly trying to find chemistry and to find what we hang our hat on. On the Steelers' 3-4 defense: "That defense poses us a lot of problems. It did two years ago. They give you a lot of looks. They make you change your scheme up for that week because they are 3-4. You never know who's blitzing. They're hard to run against. That scheme is hard to run against. It offered some challenges. To a certain degree, that scheme makes you look bad.

I consider the Saints in that position. San Diego. You know Indy will run the same plays but it's hard to stop them because they've been running them so long and so well. We were the same way.
