If my number is called, I've got to make a play. Third receiver Don Beebe, limited to two catches in the Packers' two playoff games, will be more dangerous on turf because of his great speed. Flanker Andre Rison, who had three catches for 53 yards last week, also could be tough for the Patriots' secondary to cover. We'll be able to do some things we couldn't do on grass. I think the receivers and Brett are looking forward to having a big game.
Timing's the big thing.
Your timing is much better, and we'll probably see a few more balls. Rison said he actually prefers playing on grass, but he spent part of his career playing indoors with the Atlanta Falcons. He caught five passes for 44 yards in his Packers debut, which came on the artificial surface at the TransWorld Dome in St. Louis. Rison also had two catches for 24 yards in the Packers' last indoor game, on Dec. 15 at Detroit. No need to hold anything back.
