Jackson is a heck of a blocker and a really good pass catching back.

When he blocks, he looks like a mini lineman. He doesn't just dive at the guys knees. He stands up and walks his guy back out of the pocket. He has knocked DEs out of the game with snot bubbler blocks.

He is a very sure handed pas catcher out of the backfield. When he gets the ball in space, he can really take off. He also runs really hard.

Best thing was the ball security. 1 fumble last year.

I think they will get better at running but will continue to be slow in the first quarter. Everybody will back off when they notice that Rodgers is burning every one and the ground game will take off.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

Brandon Jackson agrees with us. Here's what he said after the game (this is from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel):

"Just attacking the hole better, just being more aggressive," said Jackson. "I thought I was just trying to read it out and just trying to pace myself, but I've just got to come out with a fast start next time."

We are in week 2, come the winter months we do not have the grind out attack needed to go deep in the playoffs. Granted, we need to give the kid from atlanta a look, but Kuhn is a straight up FB and Bjack is a third down back. We need a legitimate number 1 and yes the Saints did have a legitimate #1 in Thomas and a good compliment back in RBush. Our RB do not even compare to that talent level, but I am not seeing to much on the trading blocks that I would be interested in. so we might have to sit back and see how the cards fall.

I agree that it didn't look great. I'd blame that on the poor run protection more than on Brandon Jackson. I also would have liked MM to give the ball to Jackson more instead of giving it to Kuhn so many times. Grant was often pretty lackluster in his first 9 or 10 carries in a game but as he established a rhythm (and the online got a little more push on the D line as the game wore on) he would start to break off big runs. Now, we were playing the practice squad that is the Buf. Bills so that's as good a time as any to see what your back ups can do the week after your starter goes down. Can we assume Jackson will be asked to carry the load against the Bears?

Yes, Jackson will get more carries against da Bears. He knows now that he has to hit the hole faster. But like several of you have said, where were the holes?

The reason Kuhn got so many carries is because Jackson was hesitating and MM knew that Kuhn at least would make tacklers hurt. Kuhn is good for 3 to 4 yards a carry but not more than that. He's too slow to be our #1.

I'd give Jackson at least another week before we start to panic. I'm still convinced we can win the SB with Jackson/Kuhn. My only worry is Jackson has yet to complete a season.

Plus, I want to see more of that Nance kid.

Not panicking just saying. Let's not forget we were 5-1 with playing 4 of those games at home and by the 6th game it was only mid -October, not early december

I don't think we can bank on Ryan Grant bailing us out like he did in '07.
