A switch to gap run blocking would make a lot of sense. Icky and Moton are about 330 lbs each, and Bozeman is about 315 lbs, but both Bozeman and Moton actually look like they have put on more weight. Running the ball on first and second down is out of date, but that would reduce the number of times we put Young in 3rd and long situations. At the very least we need to gap run twice and then throw, and lightly mix in play action passing here and there on the early downs. But establish the run first even if we go down a score or two. Irrelevant. Establish the run. We're not headed to the playoffs, and we have to see what Young can do if we play action pass. Yes I know Young belongs in shotgun WCO, but we need to know if we have to blow up this o-line completely. Can Young get under center and play action pass once we get the run going? Yes or no. Now is the perfect time to find out. We have nothing to lose. If he can't do it, then the o-line has to be rebuilt, or Young has to go (trade) imo. 

Also I think we should look for a power back. We need a big shifty RB who can be our sledge hammer. Low center of gravity type of guy.

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
