[QUOTE="DergaSmash, post: 315312, member: 2194"] I think that Green Bay should run more counters, traps, and misdirection type running plays. Jackson and Nance both have decent vision which is the number one ability to have when running those kinds of plays. They also take advantage of aggressive defenses that tend to over-persue. The Vikings, Bears, Giants, Eagles, and Saints all run defenses where the front seven attack with speed and athleticism. Counter and misdirection running plays take advantage of this and allow the back cutback to the void left by the defense's movement to fake. Its sort of like play-action with a run instead of a pass. These types of runs also slow down the pass rush. After a back cuts back and runs past a defensive end a few times because that end went too far upfield trying to rush the passer, it forces them to slow down and read their keys instead of simply attacking the quarterback on every down. Yet I also think that getting one of the back-up offensive lineman to line up as a fullback with Kuhn as the halfback would be a good choice for short yardage. Not to mention running little play-action flat type passes to the tight end or single wide out from that formation would also probably work. [/QUOTE]
