Now - I'm real sure that Chamuko, JW84, Bruce and 66, along with several others can bring up even more items for this list... But, these three are the real deal and the main reasoning, as far as I'm concerned "WHY" the Packers are predictable...
Anyone wanna jump in here...?
i can't say as much as i'd like to, the only game i got to watch in this area was the cleveland game...
no screen passes is a biggie...the things i did not see against cleveland (or hear about in the other two games) are the 'change of pace' plays...screens and draws...defenses can key on the run or key on the pass and not have to worry about an unexpected variation...the article characterizes cleveland's defense as "aggressive"...and a few of these plays could use their over-activeness against them
i say get ruegammer in the game...he played last year when we actually ran screen passes...whitticker is a big guy and false starts all the time, whitticker was great for a 7th round pick but he's not the answer for us right now
another thing that gets to me...we're down a tight end as so as it is (if bubba's still hurt?)...i want to see us run the u71 formations, or maybe even stick vonta leach in the backfield as a 3rd back...
here's what we gotta do monday to win...there is a big hole in the carolina d-line that kris jenkins used to fill, lets attack it...lets get on the board first and keep control of the ball...we only had the ball for 25 minutes last sunday...if their offense is on the field nine minutes more than ours, chances are they will score more points,
i'm done complaining about what play we did or didn't run...there are gaping deficiencies in certain statistical categories that can easily be fixed, and we lost our last two games by 1 and 2 points...if this team plays a good fundamental game...moving the ball along effectively, no penalties--no drive killing false start penalties, hold onto the ball...we can beat carolina
...and i just thought of something else...i remember two or three plays ran in the cleveland game where it was just chatman underneath outrunning everybody and picking up decent yardage...back in the day we had a guy named corey bradford, we put him in the slot and just sent him running down the field, to either open up routes short or maybe hit him long, he's got the speed, give it a shot
and on the subject of chatman, he shouldn't be punt returner anymore. when i was confident in this offense, i liked chatman as a returner just because he was safe with the ball...well now we need big plays...game-changing plays, and i dont think chatman has the capability to do that off of a punt return--either t-murphy or a rejuvenated ahmad caroll, somebody...
