1. "NFL bans all chop blocks"

For all PH readers: What will this imply for the effectiveness of a "zone-blocking" team like the Packers? Will this rule change reveal "the quality Packer OL" most of you seem to consider sufficient to be/become the "below average to serviceable to average" line I and a few others have been complaining/whining about for years?

2. "Bruce Arians: If you don't win the Super Bowl it's not a good year".

For all PH readers, but especially those of you apologists who consider (a) Ted's approach to off-season player FA/trade acquisition the best one and/or (b) Mike McMarthy to be a sufficiently good coach: Would you not rather have Arians' attitude be the one that Thompson and McCarthy had instead of being content with being the best in the NFC North year after year?

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Regarding #2 --- Mike McCarthy AND Ted Thompson have BOTH said similar damn things!!!! The difference is Bruce will step on your damn throat and Mike will politely ask "umm sir, have you had enough?" and lower his guard.

Fuck zone blocking.

The attitude of "Meh, we've scored enough, we can slack off a bit, we got this" rather than the attitude of "Up by 20 with 3 minutes to go? Not enough, GIVE ME MORE POINTS!".

I grew up watching the Lombardi Packers in the 60s. We'd line up, they'd know what was coming and couldn't stop it.

Our power running scheme in 2003 was similar.

I was really pissed when we switched to zone blocking. I hates it.
