post game thoughts on the Offense.

[Deputy Nutz]

I guess my feeling on the game was simply this, their defensive line was better than our offensive line. Colledge, Tausch, and Clifton just couldn't cut it in the run game and were abused in the passing game.

Colledge was a big disappointment today, I will get more into that later.

Jackson looked timid in the first half and that was to be expected being a rookie and coming into the game with a head injury. He has to figure out that he needs to hit the hole full speed regardless if it is the right read or not.

the defense looked really good in the second half, they wore down a bit at the beginning of the 4th quarter, but they found that extra gear and dominated the game when the offense was trying to give the game away.

Favre looked just ok, he missed a few open receivers today, and he also had some dropped. He was under pressure all day, and did things that still to this day only Brett Favre can do.

Phillies defense is no slouch especially their defensive line, and more specifically their defensive ends are good, they theoretically have three starters at that position.

You can't say enough about Mason Crosby, very very cool under pressure, I think he is very special and as far as I can tell I think Ted Thompson and the coaching staff made the right move with Crosby. Long kick offs.

They won, that's good. However, their offense was horrible. Philly has always had our number so it might be temporary, but that is about as unsatisfactory of a win as it gets.

They have a lot of work to do in the run game. One thing I noticed, and I know I keep bringing this up, but they didn't cut block AGAIN and after the game when I was on my way home from my brothers, I heard Scott Wells say that they are going to the ground causes a build up and they do not want that. Funny, ever zone scheme cuts but now the Packers want to run zone but not cut. Either they are football geniuses and they found a way to do somehting nobody else does or they are completely screwing up and taking away a technique that is detrimental to their run scheme. I think ti's the later and I'm very concerned.

I listened to Larry McCarrein after the game; he noted the Packers tried to cut block often early but were completely ineffective at it so they tapered back toward the end of the game.

He also noted we don't really have the type of OL that are effective ZBS blockers. Colledge was the guy that fits that mold best.
