Re: I still can't believe

So you pitch Mendy wide and you roll Ben out.

2nd and 3rd and manageable is key.

Ben is going to be Ben. Called roll out versus "school yard" roll out is the difference if it is manageable or not.

I have not seen a lot in pitches that I like. Possibly a pitch to the strong side (Heath) or a "banana bunch" formation (love listening to Bill Hillgrove say that).

Their two OLB are not slouches either. How do their corners/safeties look in run support?

Re: I still can't believe

We are going to the SB....AGAIN! Especially after this past offseason. It seems so sureal to me. I guess it hasn't sunk in yet because I refuse to watch any of the ESPN, NFL network hype. Or maybe I won't let myself get too excited because I am so nervous about playing the Packers. Tough matchup for us.

You should hang around me more. Plus I have a new lucky hat

Re: I still can't believe

I say F it and come out 4 wide with Heath and throw all over them on quick hitters. We got too many options for them to cover. Hines-Heath-Wallace-Sanders-Brown.....and best of all, Ben. Let your franchise QB win it for you....

I have no clue where the idiotic talking heads came up with the notion that Green Bay has better WR than us.

You come out in 4 wide, you allow Matthews to rush and their CB's can hang with our wr's. Two tight power sets keeping them in base defense and keeping Matthews from blitzing freely. Run at him, Run at the defense, tire them out, then hit them big with play action.

Re: I still can't believe

I'm not sure about it technically, but do you mean open up like we did against
indy in the '06 playoff run?

I remember sitting there, watching us march down the field at will and thinking
"who are these guys and what did they do with the Pittsburgh Steelers?"

Keep the faith guys. We'll figure it out when we need to!

Re: I still can't believe

Another methodical 10 minute drive would certainly help. That was a thing of beauty.

Re: I still can't believe

If the Packer inside pass rush gets into Ben's face easily it could be a long day, On the other hand, if the outside rushers are too aggressive and get pushed past the pocket on the outside allowing Ben to step up and to the outside either right or left it could be a long day for the Packers.

Somehow, I get the feeling this game is going to come down to Ben vs the Packers defensive front.

Matthews is the only rusher that worries me. That's why you go multiple tight ends, forcing him into coverage or helping block him.
