Based on the WR's ad TE's we now have, will we see he "Big 5" formation come back this year? I hope so! It could be deadly.
Lacy is gonna have a HUGE year if he stays healthy. Defenses are gonna be sooo focused on our passing attack that Lacy will be running against 5-6 man defensive fronts most of the time. Draw plays and delays are gonna net huge chunks of yards for Lacy.
Im predicting a 1300-1500 type of year and 10-12 rushing TDs for Lacy.
4 OL? What are the rules? I know you have to have 5 guys min line up with hand down, but can one of em be a WR who goes out for a catch?We have too many offensive weapons to play with for me to even begin to guess what we'll do with them all. Time to unveil the 6 WR flurry formation. Should be a fun year to watch. Hope we have good weather and some dome games to show this beast off.

We may be getting ahead of ourselves a bit...
My question would not be how often we’ll see the big 5 formation but rather, how often should the Packers go empty backfield?
I say 15tdsLacy is gonna have a HUGE year if he stays healthy. Defenses are gonna be sooo focused on our passing attack that Lacy will be running against 5-6 man defensive fronts most of the time. Draw plays and delays are gonna net huge chunks of yards for Lacy.

Their response will be along the lines of: with this defense and the molasses based sieves at ILB, we'll need that many points to have a chance to win.We need Rodell or WhattheHell to chime in on this thread. Just to balance things out.
If lacy has 15 TDs, we'll break the record for points in a season. Combining his rushing TDs with Aaron's passing TDs. He won't have 15. We have a better TE group this year, more redzone passing options.
In 2013, the Packers were 26th. in red zone TD% at 50.7%. This is not attributable to Rodgers' absence; we were faring poorly before his injury. This is contrasted with a first-in-the-league 68.5% in 2012.
I don´t think it´s a fair assessment to call this year´s TE group an improved one compared to last season, especially when Finley was healthy. Even in the games both Rodgers and Finley played we only converted 50% (10-of-20) red zone opportunities into TDs.
I bet we end up averaging 31-35 points a game this coming season. If people stay healthy and our OLine continues to progress in certain areas, there is no reason we shouldnt average that many points.
We averaged 26 pts per game (8th best) last year on offense and 400 yds per game (3rd best) without Cobb, Rodgers, Bulaga, etc. for most of the year so yes, I would think we should be able to add another 7 - 10 pts per game to that.
I agree the offense will be great in 2014, I don't expect them to average 31-35 points per game though. That's tough to do, the Packers have only been able to score more than 30 per game once (2011) in franchise history.
