you're right that a draw/screen isn't a 'gimmick.' What I meant to convey is that people seem to be correlating a higher avg. with bjack improving. I still don't feel that Bjack/kuhn can line up in the I and consistently convert a 2nd and 3 (which is a problem)...rather, the team needs to resort to some sort of long-developing play to spread out the box.

It is what it is, Bjack is not an every down back, and kudos to him and McCarthy for doing what they can to make him productive. I just don't think a 4.46 avg is a sign that he's suddenly the team's solution at RB.

We used Jackson correctly this week. He got 13 carries and also 3 receptions. If I remember correctly, they were screens.

Jackson showed how good he is with screens. 58 yards rushing, 46 yards receiving. Good game. :thumbright:

Jackson is progressing every week. I figured it would take him a few weeks but I have to admit, I was worried early on. I liked what I saw last night. On plays where there was nothing, he seemed to bull for 3 yards pretty consistently. He showed another gear on one screen pass too.

I said this 2 weeks ago, they need to stay with the run game...

Jackson THEN was in 7th per carry avg

Just not staying with the run

Jackson doesn't look any different than the first couple weeks, IMO.. still dancing and looking for yards.

What has changed is how MM is using him and the play calling differences.. running out of non traditional running sets.. taking advantage of the defenses inkling of pass first.. this is the balance I have been barking about. It allows the runs to be more effective and forcing the defense to respect the run out of passing sets.. helping the protection.

We aren't a smash mouth type of running team at this point with an undersized center and a left guard the lacks bulk to move people around.. but we are a team that should be able to screen, draw or run pulling plays to run out of those spread sets.

We had mistakes last night.. but MM IMO coached one of his better games last night.

McCarthy almost called a perfect game. You can go a great deal about their 4th quarter offense, but they barely had two possessions.

Converting 3rd down is the key to our success.

He could still use a couple more touches, especially with the production he has been spitting out the last few weeks. Jackson is not a zone stretch runner. keep him between the tackles or on open sweeps. They have switched to more inside zone plays which by nature have a more designated hole which he is hitting hard.

Moving in the right direction in his use.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Love how it's just about the same, but since we lost to the Dolphins, everyone and their Grandma is calling for MM's head. Now we have pretty much the same ratio of passes and runs and we win a game and everyone's patting MM on the back.

Zombie.. find my comments from last week.. they mirror this weeks.. I like the play calling trend of the past couple of weeks.

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?
