Francois is tall like Urlacher. He's gonna get those.

They're going to go into the games breaking down film on how to stop the Packers do A, B, ..., N on offense, and then McCarthy will add O, P, Q, and R. And they'll be thinking, everyone moves the ball on this defense, all we have to do is give the DBs no opportunities to jump the ball and get turnovers...and then Capers will throw like 4 new different defensive looks at them in the first quarter.

They'll be so busy saying "WTF?", that when McCarthy and Capers go back to what they were doing all year, they'll fall into the same traps everyone else has.

Just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Aaron Rodgers: "Dominate on three. I, 2, 3, ...
Packer team: "DOMINATE!"

LOL.

So, it's now not permissible to think/say a player on the Packers can make a particular play better than another player on the Packers?

I'm not a Hawk basher. I think Hawk/Bishop make a pretty good ILB combination.

I just recognize Hawk's not THE top linebacker in the league, and that there are some things that other LBs do better than he does. And I just thought those two interceptions were plays that Hawk would not have made.
