I have the utmost respect for what they do and how much they sacrifice for their students. I’d like to especially thank Professor Daryl Moen for working closely with me and pushing me to perform the best research possible. I definitely need to thank the former creative director at Gannett’s Des Moines Design Studio, Nathan Groepper, for giving me an opportunity to work there. My team leaders at the studio, Sean McKeown-Young and Jeremy Gustafson, were particularly awesome in pushing me to be a better and more thoughtful designer. Lastly, I’d like to thank my parents, Janet and Daniel Brisson for their love and support.

  • Rating the Packers: Week 8 at Jets Defense, Kicking Game Beat Jets
    Rating the Packers: Week 8 at Jets Defense, kicking game beat Jets Posted: Nov 2, 2010 Green Bay — The Vikings almost beat the Jets three weeks ago at New Meadowlands Stadium. Two weeks ago, the lowly Broncos led most of the way in Denver before the Jets prevailed, 24-20. As vulnerable as the Jets were with Mark Sanchez at quarterback, few expected the injury-riddled Packers to beat them at home coming off a bye. But in many respects, the Packers beat the Jets at their own game. They were the more physical team, especially on defense. Here is a rating of the Packers in their 9-0 victory over the Jets, with their 1 to 5 football totals in parentheses:: RECEIVERS ( 1 ½ ) Other than the opening sequences of the third quarter, coach Rex Ryan didn't match CB Darrelle Revis against Greg Jennings. Instead, he played a lot of zone. It's difficult to match Jennings, partially because on 27 of his 61 snaps he was inside with at least one other WR lined up outside him. He had six catches for the third game in a row after having had just 14 in the first five games. He overmatched nickel back Drew Coleman, and when the Jets foolishly didn't put anybody in his face Aaron Rodgers got him the ball in a hurry. Jordy Nelson was next with 49 of 64 snaps, James Jones had 42 and Brett Swain had a career-high nine. Donald Driver (16) aggravated a thigh injury two minutes into the second quarter and didn't return.

    92 2010 packerscentury.com packerscentury.com 2010 _________________ Record: 10-6-0 NFL Champions Coach: Mike McCarthy • Before the season, the Packers were among those expected to contend for the Super Bowl. • In the Packer locker room before the season, McCarthy placed an empty photo frame next to the 12 photos of Green Bay’s 12 championship teams! • Among the 15 players placed on the Injured Reserve List were: Nick Barnett, Morgan Burnett, Brandon Chillar, Jermichael Finley, Ryan Grant, Justin Harrell, Al Harris, Brad Jones, Mike Neal, Brady Poppinga and Mark Tauscher • Throughout the season, the team’s leaders – Charles Woodson, Ryan Pickett, Donald Driver, and Aaron Rodgers – kept the team afloat with outstanding play. League-wide, the defense ranked in the top five, and the offense finished in the top 10. • Ryan Grant’s injury decimated the ground game until the emergence of James Starks in December. • Aaron Rodgers suffered a concussion in Week 14 against the Lions. He was replaced by Matt Flynn. • With a defense ranked in the top 5 and an offense in the league’s top 10, the Packers made the postseason with wins over the Giants and Bears in their final two games. They were the NFC’s 6th and final seed. PACKERS 27 PHILADELPHIA 9.12.2010 EAGLES 20 A Win in Philly! The teams wore throwback uniforms for the 50th anniversary of the 1960 championship team. That game, won by the Eagles 17-13, was Green Bay’s first championship game under Lombardi and their only postseason loss from 1959-1967. In their first win in the City of Brotherly Love since 1962, Aaron Rodgers threw two touchdowns passes, and the Packers held on.
