Understanding the first post is always key....I have tried to do many blog sites but there are some things within this blog site that has forced me to migrate...1. You can make free money with it just by allowing Google to link to your blog. 2. Blogger is very easy to use 3. It is visually friendly and 4. its the most known blog site out there after my research.
So I will do my first post on the Packers...not to sound like a homer but I got to root for the home state team. I am not a fair weather fan as I have been following them since "The Magic Man". Brent Fullwood, Chuck Cecil all the way to Reggie, Brett, Robert Brooks and now #begreat Greg Jennings, "The Beast" - Clay Mathews and "The Champ" - Aaron Rodgers. They have a team this year that offensively can and will rival most season stats and be just the third team to possibly go undefeated in the regular season, and I feel the post season also, being the first team to do that since Miami.
Here are the Top 7 Reasons why:
1. Best Wide Receiver Core in the League - James Jones, Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb could be #2's if not #1's on 85% of the teams in the league right now.
2. Secondary - This was suspect last year due to injury's allowing for some of the 2nd if not 3rd team players to step up - Sam Sheilds, Charlie Peprah to name a few - they have allowed themselves to be household names because of the production that they provided, that teamed with Tramon Williams, Charles Woodson and a healthy Morgan Burnett have allowed them to again be as opportunistic as they were last year giving the ball back to the potent offense.
3. Running Game - Lead by a now healthy Ryan Grant and a emerging James Starks this gives a perfect opportunity to go back to a college type running game ala Wisconsin Badgers - allowing them to ride the momentum of a player or provide match-up problems.
4. Linebackers - This is not the strength of the team but one of the Impact players of the team is the leader of this group - Hawk has not lived up to his billing but is a sideline to sideline player, Desmond Bishop is a hard hitter but not good in coverage, it all comes down to how successful Clay Mathews is. If he continues to garner double and triple teams this will allow for the remaining linebackers including part time backer Charles Woodson to give opposing quarterbacks fits.
5. Adversity - This should have been there motto last year as the whole season was based on this, overcoming adversity and being able to champion change and the opportunity given.
6. Experience - They have been there, the team knows how to win - this core team of players dating to 2006 is 48-32 with 3 playoff appearances - 2 NFC championship games and the highest scoring playoff game in history in Aaron Rodgers first playoff game against Arizona, and also 6-2 in the playoffs since.
7. Aaron Rodgers - By being able to mentor behind arguably one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time in Brett Favre he was able to gain confidence, coolness and the Gun Slinger mantra. The thing that sets Aaron apart from Brett and the rest of the league is his scrambling and fall forward mentality.
My future blogs will come twice a week. Mondays and Thursdays and will focus around Packers, Politics and any other current events, please message me if you are wanting my view on a subject, albeit it national, local or in your area.
