Run Game Analysis: Its the Guys Upfront

[wist43]

I'm sure you Homers are right - our OL is kickass... (cough... fiftyonesacks ... cough... 3.5 ypc avg )

With Sherrod, it is more kickass - and with Sherrod and Bulaga?? The best in the NFL.

Without some of us realists around to keep you guys grounded - you become drunk on the Green and Gold Kool-aid. I think you should be studied in a clinical setting.

I propose that you all be set up with free beer in the atrium and filmed for study by future generations of Packer fans yet unborn

Who is saying that the line is kickass?

[Bossman641]

100% accurate, spoken like a guy who understands OL play. Sherrod is the real deal at LT if he is ever healthy. Get him the reps. MM was a fool to mess with him at LG, but I understand trying to get him in the lineup while Cliffy was around, and switching sides, contrary to the experts around here, is MUCH tougher than LT to LG.

+1

I'm riding shotgun on the Sherrod bandwagon until it crashes to a fiery death

If you don't mind my getting deep for a sentence, happiness is all about managing expectations. Now I don't recommend that we take this philosophy to wist's level where a 5 yard run up the middle (one that you can't blame on some kind of gimmick) is a pleasant surprise. But I think it'd be wise to mentally prepare for Sherrod to do nothing this season.

By your logic wouldn't Wist be the happiest guy in the world???

You raise a fair point. But speaking for myself, I am not necessarily expecting to see him (hope is another matter) but expect that if i DO see him, that he will eventually excel.

The only result I will have trouble accepting is his full return to health and then being a backup for 2 more years.

I have to confess that during games I actually tell myself there is nothing wrong with a 2 yard run.

Three yards is my line in the sand.

[pbmax]

Three yards is my line in the sand.

"2 yards and then even another run call gets you 2 more. 3rd and 6. Manageable."

Problem is the times the second run gets blown up.

[Joemailman]

The problem with 2 is that it puts you in a must pass situation on 3rd down. 4 has the defense guessing run or pass.

I'm cool with 2 on 3rd and 1.

I propose that you be set up with a Zoloft or Prozac bar to prevent any possible suicides induced by your hatred of watching football. If every fan were like you, there would be no yet unborn children as you wouldn't want to subject them to this shitty brand of football.

He would be if he could just accept a 5 yard run as a pleasant surprise. With him a 5 yard run is further proof that the offense is built purely on gimmicks. Or number of other things: the other team having a momentary and collective spike in estrogen levels, we got away with obvious holding, their defensive coordinator dropped LCD for that play, sun spots, etc.

If you never give your team credit for that 5 yard run then it's never a pleasant surprise. Plus it leads to a dark spiral that evolves into a belief system so strong that even a super bowl win can be a bittersweet fluke. All success is coincidence and completely unreproducible. Hope is a buzzword for vegans and male ice skaters.
