I'm sure all of you by now have heard of the Wildcat phenomena sweeping the NFL. Heck , the Jets just did it moments ago against the Patriots ( thought it was hilariously cool that Favre was waving his arm to say he was open...almost a bit misty eyed )

But I digress, could Green Bay effectively pull off a Wildcat formation for a play or two, or is the O-line so predictably bad, that it would be a sure loss?

I'd be interested in seeing what would happen, to be honest. Why not mix it up against Chicago? Green Bay's back is against the wall, I say pull out all the stops.

Who could we use? We dont have that really quick runningback to put back there and I don't know if any of our backs can throw either....

Some may say put ruvell back there because he is a former QB but he isnt fast or quick enough to do avoid tackles.

Grant is a power back. We could probably do it with Jackson

Either Jennings or Driver being the QB and Grant as the RB could possibly work.

Jordy Nelson started football as a quarterback. He played in high school. He threw on a few trick plays in college and had some nice throws, including a TD that i specifically remember.

He was rolling out to the right on a reverse and threw a bomb into the end zone for a TD. He'd be the best candidate to put back there with either Jackson or Grant. Jackson should get the ball more anyways.

I'd like to see Driver at QB. Just dont throw it down field to Rodgers. I can see him now...Getting a catch and gettin nailed. on his bad shoulder. Give it to DD and give him the option to run or pass.

Why do it with Driver when Nelson is more suited to be in the role? He is pretty close to the ideal type of player you would want to be running the wildcat. A good open field runner with great speed and a history throwing the ball.

Because Driver is so slippery. It could be Nelson. I really dont care. If it worked, I'd be happy.

Well....they have to try SOMETHING different. Nothing else seems to be working.

    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?

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

    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
