[QUOTE="Greg C., post: 78886, member: 195"] Reports that Mike Sherman abandoned the running game have been greatly exaggerated. He DID abandon it at times, but overall, I don't think it was a major problem with his coaching. And of course, when he stuck with the running game he was blasted by many for being "too conservative," even when the Packers won the game. Getting back to Christl's assessment, I found it very interesting. There are huge concerns at wide receiver, guard, and running back. What also concerns me is that this team is looking like it could have a good defense but a bad offense, which would favor a QB who plays conservatively and protects the football, a la Trent Dilfer with the Ravens in 2000 or Kyle Orton with the Bears last year. It goes without saying that this style of playing QB is not what Brett Favre is all about. So at this point I'm not sure if this team will play to Favre's strengths. We need at least one more playmaker, in addition to Donald Driver, to step forward, either at receiver or running back, or we could see Favre slipping back into the kind of reckless play that we saw from him last year. We need more offensive talent, period. And it seems to me that this team is at least a year, and probably two years away from having a good mix of talent and experience on offense, if it's going to happen at all. [/QUOTE]
