Panthers @ Packers Keys


Let me start by saying that in preface to game keys I will always list the following 3 for each game.

First the team needs to score TD's not FG's. Good teams do this.

Second each game the special teams need to make a play be it a TD return, a key punt, strong coverage work, blocked extra point.

Third turnovers need to be created. This along with special teams can lead to short fields making it easier to get 6 than three.

A long punt return to the 20 giving the offense a short TD drive is one way these can occur. Another might be good kick coverage pinning a team deep, then a force fumble leading to another short TD.

Call that general keys, my philosophy of football etc.

At this point it's all about questions:

On offense

1. Can Clifton block Peppers?

2. Can Rogers make plays not mistakes?

On Defense

1. Can the Panthers two headed run be slowed?

2. Who will rush the QB?

On Special Teams

1. Can Frost punt in the cold?
