Former NFL defensive lineman Chijioke Nwokorie plead guilty to felony confinement and misdemeanor battery charges in Indianapolis on Friday. Nwokorie is a former Packer.
So I’ve slept on it, and here’s what I come away with from yesterday’s games:
Colts 30, Jets 17
The Jets ground game was MIA. Yes, they ran the ball alright in the first half, but not nearly well enough to allow any serious play-action in the second. I figured that the only way the Jets were going to win this game was by pounding the ball up the middle with Thomas Jones, off-tackle with Shonn Greene, and with fun end-around and reverse plays out of the Wildcat with Brad Smith. Thomas Jones and Shonn Greene gained a total of 39 yards on the ground in the second half. Foolishly, I figured that the Jets would “dance with the girl that brung ya.” Silly me.**
Eddie Petzke from the Beers and Ball Show takes a deep dive into the three safety looks that transformed the Arizona Cardinals defense midway through last season and explores how Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon could bring that same philosophy to Green Bay.
