Will the Rookie Oline Cont to Gel. or do they take a step back.

I almost dropped my mt dew on the ground when i shall racheal actually do his job and help davis yesterday. but it was the cards i hope to see them be more constant vs the packers and at least play at a high level all game.

If we look at what we did well last night, it's not too out of this world to see a real live game plan in there for Green Bay. In the 1st half on MNF, as Gruden pointed out, we double teamed the point of attack and slipped into the 2nd level while pulling the backside guard through the hole as well as our full back. We did this quite a bit and in the 2nd half we even made an adjustment to clean up the backside penetration on those plays by simply cutting their lineman down to the ground. This might not be exactly the formula to use against Green Bay, as I think pulling our guards against this team too much is risky, but the basic framework of what we did on those plays could work IMO. Isolating one of their lineman on any given running play with a double team and getting into their LB's should allow us to run some iso with our full back. As long as we don't give up any gap penetration we should be able to run right over this team until they load the box on us. Then it's up to M&M to grow a pair between the 2 of em and take yards in chunks. We know the team is up to the task.

Hopefully the guys can keep a relatively clean pocket this week, or at least allow Troy the opportunity to step up in it instead of rolling out against a defense that's hella fast. Mix in a butt load of iso plays with those slick little misdirection plays that we've been running pretty well all year (when we run em), as well as our screen game (which we didn't execute well as an offensive line last night) and I think we stand a chance of getting a W on the road. Keep the ball out of Rogers hands and hold em to field goals as much as possible...it can be done is all I'm saying.

As usual, our start will be the key and the line HAS to get movement at the point of attack like they did last night. If we fall behind early and are forced to get into a shootout with them, Dom Capers is gonna F us in the A with his LB's and short of max protecting every down, there won't be a damn thing we'll be able to about it either. Speed thrills and he has it on D, big time. Hate to say it but we gotta make this one slow and ugly, get passing yards in chunks when we can and more than likely settle for field goals...basically Singletary ball 101 but 10 times more gooder.

Here's to looking at the tape

dude. Last night was just one of those nights where the other team doesn't show up and our offense gets lucky that all the s**tty calls they make seem to work b/c the other team is dead.

I saw plays being called when they shouldn't have been. Passes when we should run in contrast to the usual run when we should pass. Next week will be reality.

You hit the nail on the head.

They pretty much gave up, which meant we didn't have to divert from our game plan or outsmart them. Two things which usually cause us to fall apart and lose.

It's unlikely we have another game like this the rest of the year.

WOW. REALLy?

GB is going to destroy the O-line. Davis and Rachal are going to get OWNED and Smith and Westbrook will be running for their lives.

Their getting better each game. They'll have their moments against GB, but they should hold their own.

I say we have nothing to lose since we'll probably lose anyway! So, open up this offense and let's see what Troy has!

just let if fly baby...let it fly
