Today on Sports Line, a sports talk radio show heard on 107.5 WDUZ fm in Green Bay, hosts Chris Havel and former Packer Johnnie Gray were discussing about how the Packers are going to game plan for Seattle Seahawks Pro Bowl linebacker Julian Peterson.
Havel brought up the question, how are the Packers going to account for Peterson who can line up just about anywhere on the field and play with amazing quickness and intensity?
Gray's answer was that the Packers will try to line up in their "Big Five" formation with five wide receivers. That, in turn, will force the Seahawks to line up in a dime formation or risk leaving Peterson on the field in a pass coverage situation.
Expect the Packers to get a lot out of the Big Five on Saturday. They'll, no doubt, be relying on their running game as well, but this isn't going to be a repeat of the Chicago Bears game. It's goint to be cold, but it isn't going to be as windy. The Packers are going to pass and pass and pass on the Seahawks.
In fact, the current issue of the Sporting News tabbed Packers receiver and return man Koren Robinson as one of the playoffs' under-the-radar performers.
