Do our current Packers team run a Lombardi sweep, or a version of it?
Yes and no.
NO: In the modern game, sweeps don't work as well because defenders are too fast. The NFL just doesn't use them anymore. In a way, sweeps have gone the way of the Wing-T offense.
YES: You could say the Outside-Zone that the Packers (and Colts under Payton Manning) run is directly descended from The Packer Sweep.
The phrase "Run To Daylight" is a zone concept and works the same in the sweep as it does in an outside zone. Simplified, the let say the call is "Sweep Right" or "Outside Zone Right." After taking the hand off, toss, or pitch, the back moves to the right behind a wall of blockers. When a crease (Daylight) is found or created by the offensive line, the back puts his foot in the ground and heads for that crease.
No reason why it will not work now against most defenses....You must be logged in to see this image or video!You need a powerful full back hard nosed tight end and 2 quick guards.
Well the trade deadline passed and what we have is what we will have to finish with, teams out there better be careful when we r healthy again..................We just need to draft better at rb...TT has yet to draft a guy that can replace Ahman Green.
Green also fumbled alot....People forget why TT drafted Green. He was a spread option runner. At Hawaii he took runs out of the shotgun and did screens. Everything a 3rd down running back does. He was drafted to be our 3rd down running back. He is being forced to be our 3 down back. I think we have to wait till Starks gets healthy and run him about 10-15 times with green working the shotgun.
That was college he hasn't fumbled this year.Green also fumbled alot....
Yes, and let's also thank the Packers for not drafting Troy Aikman, Barry Sanders, Derrick Thomas, Deion Sanders....blah blah blah. Do you really get off on knocking guys down for the few mistakes made when they are one of the best in their fields?I would like to thank TT for not trading for Marshawn Lynch a few years back. I can't imagine what he Packers offense would be with him on the team.

Yup, I completely missed that important piece of information. I really shouldn't have posted what I did. That context completely changes how I read Raptorman's statement! I'm a fool...He is a Vikings fan...So he IS HAPPY TT didnt get Lynch
