Teach Me How To Raji!

B.J. Raji from Boston College could not be a happier person. A sensation hit on you tube right now for his dance known as Teach Me How To Raji also known as a song Teach Me How To Dougie is making a huge hit on YouTube right now for his infamous dance he performed last weekend after he intercepted a pass from Colorado State Quarterback Caleb Hannie. He returned the interception for a touchdown and performed his own TD celebration dance. Instantly he became known as the "Freezer" and his dance was famous around the country. Raji is a huge 1st round pick up for Ted Thompson because fans were starting to doubt his draft choices after Justin Harrel has not performed up to his ability and has now been hurt for 4 consective years. The two 1st rounders of the 2010 draft have proved fans otherwise of Ted Thompson and his ability to draft players as he selected B.J. Raji and then later drafted up the 1st round for Clay Matthews a former walk-on at USC. Raji should aslo spark a huge Packer defense in Superbowl 45 as starting rookie pro-bowl center Maurkice Pouncey is ruled out of the game with a broken ankle. Raji should clog up the middle easily and take on double teams providing the Packer linebackers and safeties free gaps to fill in the run game. The packers should have their hands full in the run game stopping former Big 10 runningback Rashard Mendenhall. I believe if Raji can clog up the middle, Safeties Charlie Peprah and Nick Collins should have no problem stopping the run and the Packers linebackers will be making plays all day stopping the run and the air attack of the Steelers.

Undrafted Rookie

Two words. Sammy Shields. This guy has been having a huge role in the packers success on defense in the playoffs. Shields is playing like he is a veteran on this team and he is a rookie stepping up making huge plays. Just in this past weekends playoff victory over the rivalry Bears, Shields had two interceptions, a sack, and a forced fumble. Usually seeing those stats you think of Tramon Williams, or Charles Woodson. But nope, this is an undrafted free agent out of the University of Miami stepping up making huge plays. Without Shields plays this weekend, I dont know how the Packers would have succedded because he was a huge factor in the game. Through the season, there was rants and raves for Shields. Some fans loved his play, others didn't and didn't say he desevered to play. Thompson believed in the rookie and left him in and gave the defense a spark. What is so interesting to me and other people is Shields only played Cornerback one year. He played CB his senior year at the U and all his other years he played receivers. So thinking about it, he could have an advantage because he can read the receivers and he knows what routes there running. He is also having alot of success learning behind Tramon Williams, and 2nd team all-pro Charles Woodson. It will be interesting in Superbowl 45 to see how Shields does, and who else steps up. The Packers and fans should also be proud of their punter Tim Matshay. He was booming punts all day and kept the ball out of Hester's hands all day. Matshay had 3 punts downed inside the 20, shaping up to be a great day for him and winning the special teams game for the Packers.

Rivalry? I Think So

Packers, Bears. What more could you ask for in an NFC Championship Game! This old rivalry dates back to who knows when and is the oldest rivalry in the game of football. To be played on Sunday at two, winner going to the Superbowl and representing the NFC shall be an amazing game. These two teams beat eachother up pretty good in the regular season both going 1-1 in the NFC north division against eachother. This game is up in the air for both teams to take, but who knows the outcome. With the Packers defense playing like they have, they will beat up on Jay Cutler and cause many turnovers and the so called great defense the Bears have, will be torn apart single handly by the right arm of Aaron Rodgers. As long as the Packers special teams can keep Devin Hester in check, you might as well give the victory to the Packers right now. If the Packers make it to the Superbowl it will be a miracle. One of the youngest, and most depleted teams in the NFL due to injury and the number six seed making the Superbowl will never be forgotten across the nation and one of the greatest stories of the decade. I am just wondering what superstar will show up this weekend to be the hero of the game. The Eagles game, James Starks sets a rookie rushing record in the playoffs, the Falcons game, Tramon Williams and Jordy Nelson step up and have huge games. Who will it be this week? We should wait and see!
