Between his struggles in fitting the run and several ejections, things haven’t gone exactly according to plan for former first-round pick Quay Walker in his 2.5 years with the Green Bay Packers. Over the last few weeks, though, Walker has seemingly improved in the run game overnight, drawing praise from both fans and coaches alike.
Here’s the catch: The Packers jumped to quick leads over the San Francisco 49ers and Miami Dolphins, something that will be tough to do against the NFC-leading Detroit Lions on Thursday. The result? The 49ers ran the ball all of three times in the first half against Green Bay.
