Packers wrap up

Hey everyone,
I just finished up my work for the night and before I get some food and hit the road, I thought I'd share some postgame notes and quotes that you may not find in Monday's Leader-Telegram with you.
First the notes:
*The Packers now are 7-3 all-time against the Panthers.
*The Packers have won 13 of their past 14 games -- including seven of eight -- at Lambeau Field.
*Tramon Williams' 94-yard punt return touchdown was the second longest in team history. Steven Odom had a 95-yarder Nov. 10, 1974 against the Bears. Mark Lee (whose starting lineup figure I definitely have) also had a 94-yarder against the Giants on Nov. 8, 1981. Both of those came at Milwaukee County Stadium, so Williams' is the longest at Lambeau by a Packers player.
*Koren Robinson's 67-yard kickoff return to begin the second half was the team's longest this season.
*Donald Driver has caught a pass in 90 consecutive games.
There are a ton more, but I'm really hungry. Now onto the quotes. I've got plenty -- some advice, don't try to transcribe a 9-minute-plus Brett Favre press conference. It's just not worth it. I'll be saving some for a possible Packers feature in the next couple days, so to see those, you'll have to buy a newspaper or checkout leadertelegram.com.
Here are a few favorites:
*Corey Williams on his first sack of Vinny Testaverde: “I got a good get off. The old quarterback, he was holding the ball. I wasn’t expecting him to hold the ball as long as he did. ... I just tried to get it out of his hands.”
*Tramon Williams on what he was thinking during his punt return, which by the way was his first ever for a touchdown: “Don’t get caught by no big guys. That’s it. I just ran. I saw I had blockers.”
*Ryan Grant on the offense's balance: “The more balanced, the more versatile you are, it keeps defenses honest. They can’t play you one way. It’s even better to get the win.”
*A.J. Hawk on the team's good fortune this season: “Every team that’s successful, it seems like the breaks usually go their way. We’ve had that for the most part this season. A lot of them have gone our way. We need to make sure we keep that going.”
*Al Harris on why rookie Aaron Rouse calls Charles Woodson "Mr. Woodson" but doesn't call him "Mr. Harris.": “I’m just dirty.”
*Harris on whether he believed they'd be 9-1: “I did. We just trying to make you guys believe.”
*Brett Favre on Vinny Testaverde: “I thought Vinny played well – moved around great towards the end. I don’t think I could do it – or play as well as he did at 44.”
*Favre on tight end Donald Lee: “I don’t know if there’s a harder worker on this team. I don’t know if there’s a more determined player on this team. That pays off. That really pays off. I’ve seen him work over and over again at the things he feels he needs to get better at. Most importantly, is catches the ball when the ball’s thrown to him. The trust factor comes when you see guys making plays. For guys who know Donald in that locker room, they’ll tell you the same thing. He’s determined to improve. Some of the plays he made today were outstanding. He can run, he can fly. To have a tight end who can run like that, he’s a little undersized but he makes up for it with determination. He’s making my game better.”
*Charles Woodson on the team's good fortune: “Sometimes you need a little luck out there. Luck favors the prepared.” (This by the way, is very similar to "Chance favors the prepared mind," which is the favorite saying of the villains in Under Siege 2, starring Steven Seagal).

OK, that's all I've got. Thanks for hanging with me today. I'm going to get some food and hit the road. See you in the 715.
