Hawaii has a very non-NFL style offense. so really it's up how how well he's been coached since then.
we know what we have with Starks which is "meh"..
(i'd personally like to see him bulk up that 6'2 frame because he looked like a WR in our SB run.) At least we know we have 2 Backs with Speed, catching ablity and potential. In Green and Saine. Green reminds me of Benson so much. The body, the running style, the explosiveness (may be even more explosive then Benson) The thing we will miss most from Benson is Pass Protection. Which Green needs to improve on.

How about this?
The Packers hire a "head coach's assistant". Pay him $1K/game and pay his plane flights and hotel bills.
He has two jobs.
1. Stand on the sideline and say, "Coach, you're calling too many pass plays again."
2. Stand on the sideline and say, "Mike, you dumb fuck, you just called four straight plays from the shotgun again."
Bet the team pays far more than that for motivational speakers, consultants, and whatnot.

None of the above. It wouldn't have been a wasted vote. Obama and Romney -- Those were the wasted votes. |

4 drives, 3 minutes.
40 second play clock right? We'll use 35 seconds per play to round it down a bit.
15:00 - 1st and 10 - run for zero yards
14:25 - 2nd and 10 - run for zero yards
13:50 - 3rd and 10 - run for zero yards
13:15 - 4th and 10 - punt
Figure 1 minutes, 45 seconds for 1 drive.
Figure 3 minutes, 30 seconds for 2 drives.
Figure 5 minutes, 15 seconds for 3 drives.
Figure 7 minutes, 00 seconds for 4 drives.
12 runs for 0 yards over four drives eats up 7 minutes. Whereas the Packers chewed up 3 minutes previously. We can't go back an change the outcome, but I wonder what would have happened if the Colts had 4 less minutes to play with.

I'll just say that I find it highly unusual for a team up by 18 and getting the ball to start the 2nd half to call the first seven plays pass plays, with 6 out of the shotgun, resulting in two 3 & outs (one became a 4 & out because a penalty was called on one of the pass plays). With a lead like that I would have expected SOME attempt at running some time off the clock. |

With a lead like that I would have expected SOME attempt at running some time off the clock. I have no earthly idea why they went to a sorta shootout/desparate gameplan in the 2nd half. I hope it doesn't continue. That opening half INT and quick score cause that apporach. Very uncharacteristic by this offense.

Against the Texans, the Packers only had one drive that resulted in no points that was less than a minute. 00:27 GNB 46 3 7 Punt That was within the last 6 minutes of the game. http://scores.espn.go.co...vechart?gameId=321014034 |
