The offensive approach seemed to differ somewhat from what we've seen in the past. There seemed to be more of a concentrated effort on getting the ball down the field, more 5-7 step drops which coinside with Campbell's arm strength. He certainly seems to be more comfortable with the deeper drops.

Nice to see it on 1st and 2nd down when the D wasn't necessarily expecting it.

That is all because the o-line could protect. You just can't do 5-7 step drops with longer routes if you can't block.

It's funny how we football fans are: a few weeks back ALL we could talk about was the o-line troubles. Now, they play well and we all don't mention it (me included) and rave about JC and Zorn. Those plays can't occur without decent pass pro. Lord protect the health of the o-line!!!


(PS Yeah, the Pack looks good--my father-in-law keeps sending me texts gloating about it. Circle the Minn-GB games on your non-skins schedule!)

And because the blocking has improved, the approach can be different. Without adaquate blocking it won't matter if it's 3-5-or 7 steps the results will be mixed. The approach to the passing game was what I was impressed with. There weren't any three yard completions on 3rd & 8.

A Gun Slinger? Colt? Puh-lease. He can't throw the ball further 40 yards.
