GREEN BAY PACKERS OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR JOE PHILBIN - Ingles

01/20/2011

In the last Bears game, you talked about how the offense had a hard time getting into a rhythm. Were there some things that the Bears were doing defensively that were out of character for them and testing you in some ways you hadn't seen?

COACH PHILBIN: Not necessarily. We struggled catching the football particularly in that game. I think we had four drops. We had some penalties there that slowed us down and got us into long‑yardage situations.

We've spent a lot of time crunching the numbers of the Bears from a statistical standpoint in terms of their tendencies. We've looked at the last couple of years, the last four games, in particular, against them. We've looked at just our two games against them this year, and we've combined those two games with four or five other games.

When you crunch all the numbers, they kind of stay true to their philosophy defensively of how they like to call a game and what percentage of three‑deep or two‑deep, and what percentage of pressure there is. I mean, there are some slight differences, but I think overall from a schematic standpoint, there were a lot of similarities in the way they played us before.
