How about Blount? Mulligan played 33 of the 73 snaps against the Colts. Collie had a huge reception. NE lost Welker, Green-Ellis and Woodhead and had huge injuries as TE and NT, yet somehow never missed a beat. Must be doing something right.One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Blount was a trade 2 years ago and would have not had that kind of game against San Fran's D.Originally posted by Maxie the Taxi View Post
I wish the Packers had kept Mulligan.
Jarrett Boykin was an FA and >>> Collie.

Both teams have been doing well over the past 20 years. NE is 237-114. We are 220-128-1. NE went to Super Bowl 5 times and won three. We went three times and won two. I guess that's a few beats we missed compared to them. Still, we're nitpicking and that's what we do this time of year.Originally posted by denverYooper View PostOne time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics.

I still stand by parcells as best ever...but that isn't why I am posting. Anyone notice that Hoody won't pay skill guys. He lines up crap and retreads at RB and WR and gets er done with a strong OL and great QB. I'm just saying. I keep saying its the OL, not the RB, and hoody proves my point. I want our OT to be healthy, but I wouldn't cry if TT used his only big FA signing on a monster tackle and lets JJones walk. Don't reup Jordy, franchise him once. Keep getting the Jarrett Boykins of the world to produce with Rodgers throwing it to them, and run the ball well. With a great OL, I think Rodgers can make guys like Edelman look great same as Brady.Originally posted by Bretsky View PostThe only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince LombardiComment

Austin Collie is one good hit away from creating another national scene as to whether he is brain dead or not.Originally posted by denverYooper View PostThe only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince LombardiComment

I don't know. I think you underestimate Hoody/Brady and over-estimate Stubby/Rodgers. Hoody is not married to any particular system or game plan. He adjusts to fit the players he has, then finds the missing but necessary pieces to make it work. Seems like Stubby sticks to his idea of the way things should be done and doesn't adjust. Stubby is an ideologue; Hoody is pragmatic.Originally posted by bobblehead View Post
Two examples, Stubby will never abandon his emphasis on throwing downfield trying to make big plays. He tried it even when Rodgers, Cobb and Jones were hurt. Hoody went that route a few years ago then switched strategy to match his personnel. Now he's a dink and dunk, rushing offense.
Second, I think Stubby is married to the 3-4 defense despite his personnel because that's what he believes in. A few years ago Hoody switched to a 4-3 for typical, pragmatic reasons:
"We wanted a lot of carryover between our run responsibilities and run fits, and some of our pressure defenses and things like that. We'll transition and build into some of our odds fronts, but we felt like in trying to evaluate young players, asking them to learn one system in a 3-4 and then learn another system in nickel [was too much]. As you know, we were in nickel defense just as much as we were 3-4 defense because of teams using multiple receivers on early downs and two-minute and all those kind of things.
"So we felt like it would be a better opportunity to evaluate our players and not try to over-install and put in a ton of defense. Try to cut it down a little bit and see if we could execute it better. Certainly, we have a long way to go but I do feel like we're making progress, and I think our players at least understand what we're doing.
"There are so many intricacies to a 3-4 defense that I just didn't know if we'd be ready to handle them this year. Probably wouldn't have been, to be honest with you."
I think the 3-4 is here to stay in Green Bay as long as Stubby is here, despite the fact that TT's youthful team-building philosophy contradicts what Capers needs to make the 3-4 work well.
Just my opinion.One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

Actually, that play is one of the few things he can teach. Onside and trick plays have been OK. Day in day out competence has been fleeting.Originally posted by Rutnstrut View PostBud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

Maxie, great find on that bit. Precisely the kind of tinkering that might help a young D and solve some of the split personality of the D line.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment
