So it looks like the old fashioned WCO screens may be back in play with this new "play caller." One of the few plays I saw in this last game was a screen. Also had a beauty of one in the previous preseason game.

Pretty excited about that.

Should also help Neal make the team.

Also, said that we had 4 guys basically the same and Neal was the different one. Guy is incredible in pass game and should make the 53. My question then is as it is now...do they ditch Starks and go with only 2 RB's because they're going to keep 2 FB's? Shoot, the way Ripkowski tackles I would consider moving that dude to LB.

EDIT: I should add that Neal is a veritable lock now that Jordy is gone. We're going to be diversified on O without Jordy and Neal adds a dimension to the pass game that's needed with Jordy's void. I thought Eddie might be league MVP picking up that slack in pass game but it might be Neal picking up the passing game slack.

Teams are going to show very little and are going to run plays to evaluate talent.
The screen has always been in the play book.
Screens only work if the opponent is blitzing.
You May be right , could be in real game situation Aaron checks out of the screen into a better option after reading the D.

Big fan of Neal's going back to last year. I sure hope he makes it... he's gotta with that Jordy void. He can freaking line up as a WR if needed. Lots of things we can do with that guy.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.
