Thread: Four Downs: Bears more potent than Pack?

Davis is ok with the normal straight-up run blocking against average players . Matthews isn't an average player so I think in pass protection I'd use the guy with the better feet cuz he's less likely to lunge and miss . I've seen too many Bears lunge and miss vs. Matthews . Running plays - just get 2-3 blockers going his direction and he gets caught up in the wash and is less effective - makes it easier for a RB to just read / react and make his move .
