(What was the genesis of that inverted wishbone formation?)
Weve used it since Ive been here. Its something that we feel gives us good angles from an alignment. Every formation that you line up in, youre trying to accomplish something from your alignment as opposed to how you anticipate the defense is going to line up. Its just an alignment that we feel gives us the proper angles to do what were trying to do conceptually.

(Is that called Falcon?)
Thats the personnel group.

(You started using it when you had Kuhn and Hall. Was it partly personnel, that you had two good blocking fullbacks?)
Its a combination of personnel, alignment, and the run concepts or the protection concepts that you feel are going to work against that defense, how you anticipate theyre going to line up. Its a combination of scheme and utilization of personnel.

Love it in real life, seems to always have some solid success with play action or in the run, even if it is only for a few yards. I don't really recall it going for negative yardage too many times.

I do, however, absolutely hate it in Madden. Never works.

I don't remember seeing it before the Philly game. I know 1/2 of starks yrds came from the wishbone for an 8 yrd avg per carry.

i certainly do not remember play action being run from this formation.

I think the combination of Kuhn and Johnson & Josh Sitton is the key to the success Starks had Sunday.

Starks was ready as was Quinn Johnson to secure their roles in the Packers playoff run. I think they really made a statement.

a tough defense, with two or three really great play makers, a balanced attack on offense, improved special teams play, Packers look poised to get to the NFC Championship.

Nothing could be cooler than the oldest team in the NFL running one of the oldest formations in football, to win a world championship!

They've ran this play nearly every game for the past few years. I'm sure there are a few where they haven't, but it's a decently common formation. They never run it with this much frequency though.

I thought they used this a bit in the 2007 playoffs.
