Jackson, 4.46 per carry.

Looks like Jackson's coming into his own. I always thought he could be the man if he got enough reps. Hell, I'd like to see him get even more. Kuhn was like 7 carries for 12 yards.
Bjack has shown that he's got that extra gear. He's also got some shiftiness and for the second time in his career today, he actually looked good on a screen.
Nance, well I won't be negative!

Solid game from Jackson. At one point in the game he was 10 for 53 or 54. This is all we need from our run game IMO. Jackson also looked great in the passing game. He's a nice dump off option for Rodgers when things don't look good down field. All hail the dink and dunk.

They seem to be figuring out how to use Jackson now. Use some delayed handoffs and give him some space to work in. He is a decent runner in those situations.

Jackson is awesome in the screen. It seems like he needs that space cleared in front of him otherwise he just runs right into blockers.

Jackson has really looked quite good the last couple of weeks, the main difference I see is that he is dancing a lot less and hitting the whole harder... If he finds a seem he can be dangerous because he is quick and shifty with good vision, it's just a matter of him getting out of the line of scrimmage.

Everyone keeps saying he needs space to run...well our grandmas could run in space, so I'm not so sure that he's improving, just that the team is resorting to gimmicks to finally get some yards.

With that said, I agree with Silentio that you don't need much of a run game...rack up 75 or so yards to at least keep the defense honest, and the pack will get by.

I can't speak for others, but when I say he needs space to run I'm thinking about how he has more wiggle than Grant. He's not what you would call a scatback by any means, but he does have some ability to juke defenders, which is not Grant's style at all.

Sick of them substituting Kuhn everytime Bjack gets on a roll. Those dive plays are killing me. It's like the Rossely/Sherman shuffle pass. LOL.

What is so gimmicky about what we did last night? It's not like we were running trick plays, we were running draws and screens. Instead of pretending it's Big Ten football with Jackson we should be playing to his strengths, which is what we did last night. If we continue to run those types of plays I expect we'll be able to get adequate production out of our run game.

Zero2Cool (10h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (14h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (14h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (15h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (15h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (15h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (15h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (15h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (15h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (15h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (15h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (15h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (15h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (15h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

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

dfosterf (17h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (17h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (17h) : 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.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
