It also uses more of the clock and wears the defense down and keeps your defense off the field. The ideal situation was when Mike Sherman had Ahman Green, Najeh Davenport, and Tony Fisher all in our backfield.  You had the "take it to the house back," the pile driver, and the 3rd down pass catch and block back. Along with that he had Bubba Franks, Marco Rivera, and Mike Wahle to drive block. Throw in Clifton, Tauscher, and Flanigan and we had a couple of the best rushing seasons in Packer history. Unfortunately, other than Driver, we did not have much of a receiver corps.We had two good running plays against the GMen last January; the very first play by Grant and a late 3rd quarter end run by Starks. Aside from that Rodgers was our running game. Go back to the 2007 championship game and our running game was limp as well.The 9ers success last season came from playing defense and running the football. Not exactly a trademark of this Packer squad.</blockquote>
