The Minnesota Vikings always have their hands full when it comes to the playing the Green Bay Packers, usually in regard to the extraordinary and eccentric talents of Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
But as talented as Rodgers is, physically and by improvisation, he has an advantage that few fans realize. An offensive line that has been schooled in the art of modern trench tactics by Green Bay offensive line coach James Campen, now in his 15th season with the team’s staff.
Campen’s technique goes by a few terms. One is the “hands outside” stance and another, more appropriately, is called the “hug” technique.
