Ty Montgomery, Slot Receiver !

IMO, GB's starting Receivers should be Adams, Nelson, and Ty Montgomery (as the Slot Receiver). Jones and Williams have shown that they can perform in the RB position. With Rodgers return, the TE position would only remain in question. Combined with GB's solid O-Line and they should be an elite Offense for 2018.

Yes, I believe that Ty Montgomery would serve well as a Slot Receiver. His size, speed, and good hands should give the offense an added punch. In addition, his field experience will serve the team very well.

Lots of people talking about Ty as a wr next year, I don't think McCarthy will switch him back. Stubborn sob

I think he's great in his current role, he got banged up but that's partly because no running back in the NFL was used more than him through the first 4-5 games. With the 3 rooks now entering their 2nd year hopefully they can strike more of an equal balance and keep them all healthier.

There were 15 running backs last year who caught 50+ receptions, Montgomery can still run routes from the backfield infact he may be much more dangerous there than lined up as a WR.

I really like Ty M. and think he has proven to be a bright, talented, and incredibly versatile player....very valuable. I think the team has to manage how he is used to avoid the hammering that running backs typically receive. Because of his sickle-cell trait (which he has never used as a crutch or excuse) he can experience more muscle breakdown than other players.

Accordingly, I think using him out of the backfield in passing situations, or in the slot, makes great sense, especially with the promising younger backs we have on the roster.

I want him as the slot WR. Even if he still runs 20 times a game he's far more useful lining up as a WR. Show 3 or 4 WRs with 1 or 2 TEs, if they have 4-5 CBs on the field then motion him into the backfield and bring the TEs in and ram it down their throat. If they have LBs on the TEs, throw it. His proficiency and ability at both positions is as much of an asset in ability to exploit matchups as the abilities themselves.

In days past where we had #1-3 or 4 WRs that could reliably beat the other team's #1-3 or 4 CBs, line him up in the backfield all day long and motion him out if you don't like the look. But we just don't have the matchup advantage we used to. If other teams can get away with single man coverage or don't have to worry about giving up yards in zone coverage, all of a sudden getting Monty lined up on a LB isn't nearly as valuable and it's much more likely he'll get help over the top.

Yup...don't need "yes men", need coaches that think and are not afraid to speak up.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
