Packers/McKenzie/Ambrose

I finally got to see a preseason game late last night (they don't televise many Saints games in Atlanta). And I had to ask if anyone else noticed this....

They game-planned their offense.

They went after Ambrose. I noticed after they targeted him three plays in a row, so I started watching for it, and I stopped counting after five. They went after him every play, taking him from one side of the field to another, setting him up with picks, etc. Favre never looked anywhere else.

Once I got it, I had to start laughing. What better way to sell McKenzie? So what if this is just a preseason game. The Saints just happen to be in town, they just happen to be negotiating for McKenzie, they don't like the price - so why not pull out all the stops and go after the guy McKenzie would likely replace....

Those sneaky basta**. LOL
