umm yes. Greens 30 yard run was right through that spot. Green averaged 6.4 yards a carry and went to that spot frequently. No suprise because going left usually lost yard. There's really only 5 places to run: straight ahead, off tackle right, off tackle left, end around left, end around right. The right was working for the Pack all day long, the left wasn't. Middles was so-so. Philly tightened up when they needed to, they did a good job of bending without breaking, doesn't change the fact that the Pack moved the ball very consistently by running right at Simon.

I'll be sure to tell my 14-year-olds this and send you the laugh track.

the Pack moved the ball very consistently by running right at Simon.

On at least six occasions in the FIRST HALF ALONE, Simon/Walker tied up three linemen only to have Mark Simoneau miss the tackle. And a big reason the Pack had success to the right is that Bobby Taylor doesn't tackle ANYONE. Simon's MAIN responsibility ends, one way or another, shortly after the snap on a conventional running play. Whether the gain is 5 yards or 50 has little to do with him.

it's called "my football book".
