The Green Bay Packers recently played the Tennessee Titans in their first preseason game. While the weather was ugly, and so were some of the plays, there were a few bright spots.

One such bright spot was the opening drive when most of the starting players were on the field. Matt Flynn quarterbacked a scoring drive that culminated in James Starks rushing for a 20-yard touchdown.

In the video below, I break down the play in detail. The video is high definition, so feel free to use full screen mode (the box symbol at the bottom right of the frame).

I also drew up the play to show the player alignments and blocking responsibilities.

If the Packers can run like this during the regular season, especially with Aaron Rodgers giving the constant threat of laser passing, the offense will be very balanced and cause headaches for opposing defenses.

I believe the video embedded above to be fair use under the premise of being a short clip of the original broadcast that is transformative for news reporting, commentary, critique, illustration, and teaching purposes.
