[QUOTE="KCBIGDOG, post: 484129, member: 6669"] Good Points - Another thing that will win the game for the Packers is getting pressure - according to ESPN stats (I know...I know - take with a grain of salt) however, The Packers increased their sack total to a very respectable 47 this season, up 18 from 2011′s disappointing 29. At least part of that bump can be attributed to Dom Capers’ use of the blitz, which the Packers defensive coordinator called at a higher rate than just three teams this season. [URL='http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/59808/pressure-constant-in-packers-49ers-rematch']According[/URL] to ESPN Stats and Information, Green Bay brought five or more rushers on 40 percent of the defensive snaps this season, good for fourth-most in the NFL. Facing Colin Kaepernick instead of Alex Smith at quarterback likely means more blitzing from Capers. Whereas Smith completed almost 73 percent of his passes against the blitz this season (best in the NFL), Kaepernick finished under 57 percent and saw his total QBR drop by over 17 points when facing five or more rushers. With a young quarterback making his first playoff start, expect Capers to send even more blitzes than usual Saturday. If the Packers get pressure and we can contain Kaepernick in the pocket and force mistakes we have a great chance.....GO Pack GO!!! [/QUOTE]
