ya jackson is totally psyched as you can tell from his interview - I thought he was really good a couple years ago. So hopefully he gets back to that.

Im more worried about our Dline at this point then our RB situation.
Jackson and kuhn or 2 solid guys ...
just get danny woodhead and we are set ;)

not sure it was the latest one on the packers website - he cant hide his excitement about being the #1 back. I cant blame him. Now to see what he can do ... Ive wanted him to start above grant for 2 years - now its time to see what he can do.
And ya if he sucks then Ill take back that I think he should start above RG; although I really did like the fact last year grant only fumbled 1x

I just don't like how Jackson is so slow up to the line. Waiting for blocks to take place is one thing, but when you jogwalk up to the line, that gives the secondary that much more time to key on the run and come up for a tackle. I loved how Grant was looking on Sunday. He looked like he did when he first started playing for us. He was hitting the holes full speed, and since he did that, he had approx 5.5 yds a carry until he went down. I would like to see Jackson do the same, speed up his game a little. That being said, I do like him and am excited to see what he can do for the team.

I am more comfortable with Nance as are 2nd string RB having kuhn there is fine but if we another RB why not use him?

I think the Packers will try to teach Nance to be a 3 down RB like they do with all of the RBs. I think they'll be working Kuhn mainly at RB this week.

It will be interesting to see if FB Johnson and OT Lang come off the inactive list or not and who replaces them if they do.

If that's the case, and I fully expect that it may be, then I think we will give him around 10 touches and have Rodgers throw the ball A LOT. This won't really be a problem since we are playing Buffalo and I don't expect that they will give us much adversity. Also, it will be great practice for Rodgers (which is needed after Sunday) for the future games that we may need a full aerial assault. I really think that we are going to be that type of team this year without a solid RB, and that Rodgers will throw 40x per game.

It would make sense that Kuhn would be the backup for sure this week and depending on how Nance comes along he would move into that spot soon.

I think Jackson will do fine and doubt the loss of Grant will change the run/pass ratio McCarthy wants. With Jackson being a good runner, blocker, and, pass receiver his presence in the backfield on the early downs will allow for a lot of flexibility in the play calling.

I think with Jackson in a full backfield we may see more variations than what we saw with Grant behind the FB.

I can see Kuhn being used as the short yardage back with BJax taking most of the reps including third down.

We've spent two years moulding him into the perfect 3rd down back. We dont then turn over those duties to an UFA rookie who could miss a blitz pick up and see Rodgers injured.

Bjax and Kuhn will get most of the reps with Nance spelling Jackson to keep him fresh.

Also, i dont like the idea of having Jackson and Nance on the field on 3rd down. That would mean two of Finley, Jennings, Driver, Jordy or Jones wouldnt be on the field and they are better players.

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
