Vic, have you seen any teams use the Packers sweep for one play to surprise a team? What would be a good defensive alignment to run it against in the present?

I haven’t seen it used in recent times, and it’s not a good surprise play because the Packers sweep requires hours and hours of practice a week to perfect it. It has to be a staple of your offense and your practice regimen for it to be successful. We’re perseverating on this play. It’s real simple: It doesn’t fit today’s game or the players that would have to execute it.
