Deuce, Deuce, and more Deuce

It’s pretty clear from the stats that the Packers are not a team to try to pass on. This looks like a job for Deuce McAllister. It also looks like a job for Carl Nicks—with the Pack giving up 7.35 yards per carry over left guard, here is Carl’s chance to show what a mean bruiser he can be.

Of course, if they play Pierre Thomas more than Deuce (which is likely) that will be okay…so long as they establish the run and stick with it. Anything to loosen up coverage on the receivers. (And please, Marques…catch the ball. Ask Devery for some advice.)

Buy Gary Gibbs a beer after his defense shuts out the Packers!
