Packers haven't been back to the Super Bowl since Daryn Colledge was mistakenly not re-signed. Ted Thompson, my glare is aimed in your direction!

I would like to see an interior O-lineman taken with a top pick preferable at center and who is very intelligent.

Show me the hole that the incompetent backs should have ran through the last 4 years. I submit that there has been no hole. Mike McCarthy is pulling a Dick Cheney. He will re-invent the friggin' hole he says he has, and he don't even have that.

Saturday and Newhouse go to backer. 4 players in the box no accounted for yet. Really only 3 because that backside DE isn't going to do anything.The pitch is off and everyone is looking for a block or hit their mark already. Jones comes into the screen as the last player on the right. Safety looks like he's in position to make the play.Bulaga takes out an unblocked defender (#4), Crabtree is still on his block, looks like Williams will go after defender #3 and Green will have the safety in open field.And here we go.Williams keeps pushing and there is a possible cutback lane for Green.Williams has his guy and free Saturday can try to make a play on the S.He gets him, Williams on block, and Crabtree on block still but defender #2 (non-playside backer) is free and is in position to make play.And he gets him.

Pop ahead to frames in these stills.. that cutback lane was filled.. this is not a great example of a missed opportunity by a back.. if anything it illustrates:*A line that gets pushed back at the point of attack* Poor edge blocking by the Packers* And yes, a back that was too patient and didn't cut it up and take the minimal gain that might have been there.
