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.**
One look at Packers defensive tackle Devonte Wyatt's production when he's on the field tells you what a difference maker he could be if he could just stay on the field.
It's been 30 years since Brett Favre led the Packers to their 3rd Super Bowl championship. The 1996 team was one of the most dominating teams in the Super Bowl era.
