"I don't expect Mike to come out in the wishbone" 

Why not run two or three plays from the wishbone (an actual wishbone, not the inverted one they use)? With Starks and Lacy they've got two power runners and speed and quickness in Franklin. Granted putting Franklin back there might mean actually having to give him a carry or two in order to not let the Eagles defense ignore him.

Going into this week, it appears the playmakers names have changed , Lacy and Starks have really stepped up, Franklin also but he has been absent for the last couple of weeks.

I don't know if The Packers will put all 3 in the backfield at once, but you could see Franklin on the line split out at a wr position to create confusion.

Looking at The Eagles def. #'s, The Packers strength going into this game is The Eagles weakness.

Seneca Wallace is going to have to show the ability to throw just enough so The Eagles can't put 8 and even 9 in the box to stop the run.

I just have a feeling, this will be the game Jonathan Franklin gets more involved, he is an unknown factor, I don't like when The Packers have to do it, but a little trickery on offense is going to be needed to loosen up The Eagles run Defense.

This is exactly why I say they shouldn't look past the idea of running the wishbone on a few plays: it's an unknown for opponents going against GB. They know with Rodgers out they're going to lean on Lacy but throw a curve and use 3 RBs at the same time. Another unknown is Bostick. I've read about him being described as a Finley clone. So why not get him involved and try to create mismatches vs slower LBs? Force the defense to react to what we're doing on offense. Force them to gameplan during the week on these new guys who they don't have much tape on.

Slow down the pass rush, give Seneca some high percentage passing and get Franklin the ball in space. Win-win-win. Oh yeah, burn clock and move the chains.

I am expecting to see guys like White and other 3rd stringers have a good day because Wallace worked with them on the practice squad. Wallace will have 275 yds and 2 tds with 0 ints.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
