Willie Davis compares Vince Lombardi to Fran Tarkenton noting how the coach blindsides opponents with the unexpected. The Packers defensive end, speaking after a 48 21 loss to the Giants, praises Tarkenton and New York's offense while insisting Green Bay remains capable and ready for upcoming tests in St Louis and beyond. Davis, 33, says the team must avoid age excuses and expects to win several games. He spots Friday night’s Monday clash as a test of resilience against a high pressure, all out opponent.
