I'm a bit shocked that Quarless is ready to go. Thought he'd easily be out for the entire year with the injury he had so late in the season.
Video of the Quarless injury... watch or not.

He planted on his right foot/leg while trying to cut back left when the NYG player was coming from his left and pushed Quarless to the right. The blocker was not so much on AQs back as he was essentially impeding the direction that Quarless was trying to take.

Does anyone know what ligaments Quarless damaged in his knee? Just curious. Based on how Peterson, Charles and others are coming back; I am holding out hope that Quarless can be effective this season.
Apologies if this article was already discussed don't remember seeing it anywhere.
Another excellent article from the consistently excellent Tom Silverstein. Quotes from Lang, Bulaga, OC Tom Clements, and more from Green himself. Well worth the click.quote:Big gain: Packers' Green learned a lot studying Benson

...Out of the shotgun formation, Green got the handoff and followed pulling guard T.J. Lang off right tackle. He looked for an open lane to either side of Lang before deciding it was not yet time to commit left or right.
Green stuck out his arm to let Lang know he was on his tail and then marched with him for 5 yards before finally working off the block and gaining another 4 yards to the left.
Turn on the tape from the week before and you would see Benson doing the exact same thing on a different running play, sticking tight to the guard while pumping his legs and milking every yard he could out of the run.
"He does a great job of that," Green said . "That's something I learned from him a little bit, just get behind the blockers and let them pave the way. Make the reads from there. Have the defense play those guys and I'll go the opposite way.
"Keep moving forward and always fall forward and get positive yards."
The biggest difference between Green and any back the Packers have had since Ahman Green is his home run ability. Ryan Grant showed a little of it in his first couple of years, but unlike Grant, Alex Green can change directions in a hurry.continue

What are your thoughts on Alex Green carrying the ball 22 times on Sunday?
Mike McCarthy: I loved it. Anytime you can get your running back into a rhythm, it helps your offense. I would classify a rhythm as attaining 18 or more carries. Itâs no different with a quarterback. If you want a quarterback to really be productive in the passing game, you have to give him close to 28, or more, opportunities per game. For young players, particularly those that handle the football, those are the numbers that Iâve always paid the most attention to.continue
