Why is it that last yr we hear MM repeatedly emphasize how it all starts with run game, even Aaron spoke that way during the preseason. They have never been satisfied with what I historically felt was a minimally acceptable or marginal run game, much less a poor one? How can they all jump ship? I watch Packer games about 10ft from a 108 inch HD screen. The closeups of Tauch & Cliffy's facial expressions & body language spoke volumes of the frustration & dwindling confidence they all had during the Bears game as the plethora of false starts/holding calls accumulated, & the sense of urgency which led to so many "lack of focus" mistakes. It truly is amazing how much more information one can glean with those closeups of the players. You hit the nail on the head: without an independently successful run game, they can't feel confident about winning, our aging tackles can't perform well enough in a more one dimensional offense, & it will be a constant struggle to play consistently well & win against decent teams. I read the CHTV "Obligatory Rungame" post/comments, & I can't understand how that mass of people doesn't see the relationship between the poor run game & the performance problems leaking into nearly all aspects of the Packs gameplay. Truth is, I think a majority of the team knows they can't be sure of their potential w/o a better rungame, & they & MM/TT are hopefully coming to grips with the loss of Grant & will be realistic about what it's going to take to make a deep run in the playoffs. The last drive saw a little hope come in, if Kuhn can run close to 4yds a carry & get a few 7-10yd runs per game, that won't be a great deal different than what RG offered us for the 1st half of each season. And that could make it all work with who we've got, cause I don't think TT is gonna land us anything special with regard to RB.

The Packers made some great plays, but the defense in particular made some not so great plays. It's nice to see we've got discipline down a little, and now it's time to work on consistency, especially on the defense.PWChttp://www.pwcpackerworldcentral.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
