PACKERS SET THE TONE FROM THE OPENING PLAY
Curtis �Rocket� Dockett and the Packers� offense took little time sending a message to the 49ers. The Packers wanted to take control of the game early and they did just that as Curtis took a handoff on the opening play of the game up the sideline for a TD. Nathan �Jukebox� Corsey liked what he saw and wanted the offense to have the ball back, so he intercepted the 49�ers second play from scrimmage.
Everything the Packers did seemed to work and work often, as they built a decisive 27-0 halftime lead. After a halftime filled of stuffing themselves with orange slices (not sure how they don�t make themselves sick!), the Packers came out and continued with their �shut-down� defense. The 49�ers then did what most teams are forced to do against the Packers, throw deep and hope for something lucky.
Jonathan �sweet feet� Campbell and Evan �the enforcer� Aragon had big days on defense with 3 flag pulls and an interception for Jonathon. Aaron �the bus� Garcia came up big again with an important flag pull on a crucial 3rd down play and also caught a pass on offense during the 2nd half. Vincent �flag-man� Brunson actually played a bit more on offense than usual and had a nice run and successful 2-point conversion catch. James �the bull� Brown added a successful conversion catch to go along with another outstanding game of centering and slowing the rushers down. Jalen �the jet� Barnes added a few awesome catches and a long run.
As the coaches have stated before, the Packers go as Alex �Zander bomber� Hodge goes. �He came out this week and took total control of the offense and got the team going� said Coach Chris. �When he comes out strong like that making good decisions and executing his throws, we are VERY tough to beat�, he added. Alex not only completed several passes, but he caught three and had 3 runs, including one TD catch. He even played some defense for Coach Craig while Curtis filled in at QB.
�Hopefully, we keep the momentum going. We need a win this weekend so that we can go into the playoffs not only on a high note, but also to get a bye� added Coach Kelly. �We are definitely like a faucet, hot and cold. I�ve seen us very hot, and I�ve seen us very cold. Let�s just hope we come out hot this weekend so we set the tone for our playoff run�, she added.
