Key Linemen Make The Packers Tough
Green Bay's offensive line anchored by center Jim Ringo and guards Fred Thurston and Forrest Gregg powered the Packers to a division title and a 20-17 win over the Giants in Milwaukee. Ringo directs blocks and reads defenses, Thurston flashes speed for his 250 pounds, and Gregg shifts to guard after Kramer injury as Masters and Skoronski hold the tackles. Hornung blocked heavily while on leave, and the line opened holes for the 186 rushing yards and 415 total yards in the game.
