The Packer's Super Bowl chances may be solely based on how a group of individuals play that rarely get an attention from the average fan. As many Packer's fan would acknowledge, the offensive line hasn't played up to par this season. Now how big of a deal is this problem? Well for one, Aaron Rodgers as many other quarterbacks isn't that good under duress. Right now, the Packers are second in the league in allowed sacks with 37. However, to average fans people just think of get the ball out fast to avoid pressure but the problem with this solution is that cornerbacks just have to jam receivers at the line to mess up the timing of the pass. In addition, with the Packers lack of run game it seems unlikely that they will be able to help their line that way. Overall, I Packers Super Bowl hopes ride on protecting Rodgers from the outstanding potential pass rushes that could include San Francisco, Chicago, and New York.

Intro to Research Paper

For my journal, I wanted to put my working introduction because I'd like some feedback and criticism on what to improve grammatically and structurally.

Is America finally becoming more progressive towards marijuana? Back in the 1970's, Richard Nixon began the "War on Drug", which has continued through each administration. However, the American population may be ready to end an unrealistic winnable war. In the last decade, 17 states have made the legalization of medical marijuana legal and in the last election two states have taken a bigger leap in making the recreational use of marijuana ok with some regulations of course. As states start to challenge federal law, I think it's time for the federal government to end it's failed policies and accept the use of recreational marijuana much like alcohol.
