Like many other Green Bay Packers’ fans, I casually scrolled through Twitter looking for some sort of comfort in the moments directly following another 27-24 pull-your-hair-out loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night. In the middle of tweets criticizing Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers for obvious reasons, there was another tweet that stood out.
Andrew Brandt, of course, is a former Packers front office executive who remains very much in the loop when it comes to NFL circles and the Green Bay organization. And last night, Brandt’s analogy of a “pitch count” when it came to touches for the Packers’ prized up-and-coming running back Aaron Jones was right on the money.
