Mentioned in another thread.. the injury toll on another talented Packers team of years past. You know.. one that had it shares of struggles and players stepping up to fill roles.. some late in the season.
So.. come (No not you Brett) along with me and help me fill in the missing struggles of that season.
Going into the season, we counted on Ruettgers to anchor the left side.. he never recovered and retired early in the Season. His replacement struggled game in and out.. Michels I believe.. Wilkerson eventually stepped up, and albeit not dominating.. did the job that needed to be done.
That help lead to another running game issue.. much like this season.. or lack of a big time one.. if memory serves under 4 yards a carry.
I think Chumra missed time that season.
Brooks was lost for a good junk of the season along with Freeman.
So we had a passing team without option 1 or 2 and still kept on chugging..
Defense.. I know we had issues on the line and at backer.. but I can't remember the timing.. \
Can my fellow members of the site help fill in the gaps?
And how they were acquired or were they on the roster going into the season?
