GREEN BAY, Wis. – Sometimes, you’re the hammer. Other times, you’re the nail. Mixing up the analogy, sometimes, you’re the cheese. Other times, you’re the cheese grater.
By all accounts, the Green Bay Packers’ defensive line shredded the Indianapolis Colts’ offense during Thursday’s joint practice.
The Colts’ offensive line isn’t some 1,500-pound weakling. Left tackle Bernhard Raimann received a four-year, $100 million contract extension at the start of training camp. Right tackle Braden Smith was playing under a four-year, $70 million contract extension. Left guard Quenton Nelson in his first seven seasons was a seven-time Pro Bowler and a five-time first- or second-team All-Pro.
