Why Cobb gives the Packers options on offense· Page 2

The funny thing is, Harvin would be incredible in the Packers Offense. Way more impact than in MN. With Rodgers throwing to him and all the attention that Jennings, Driver, Finley and the other will get, that would leave nickel and dimes covering him.

We don't need that 10th of a second in the 40 that Harvin is faster. That 2 hundreths of a second difference in the 20 is where he will be making his living. Quick will be more important than fast.

Randall Cobb wears Percy Harvin pajamas....although he had to get the "little guys" size. :icon_smile:

Actually, it should be interesting to see how/if he develops.

Isn't it great that we are comparing GB's 3-4th best WR to Minney's top one?

2) I agree with some of this but not all. Bunch sets, stack looks and use pre-snap motion sure why not... but use him as a RB? ... why not just use Grant, Starks and Green as RBs? ... Starks and Green can catch...

While I agree to an extent, I'm wondering if we might bring Cobb in a package that has no running backs, line up showing nothing but pass and then have Cobb go in motion into the backfield.

I think that might open the possibility to run a draw if the defense has sold out in terms of personnel for stopping the pass. Anyway, I wouldn't be opposed to him running on occasion as long as it was something creative and designed to keep the defense just that much more uncertain.

I dont like it that we are moving up the kick off 5 yards ... poor Ko guys cant kick so far then thats their problem; and because teams cant tackle other players then oh well ...

I do agree with the no wedges - Id actually prefer there was 0 wedges and not even 3 man ones Ive seen.

KOs IMO are one of the most exciting aspects of the game; ya I know peeps get hurt ... but so do peeps catching touchdown passes; we going to take that away? can only run em in?

You mean GB's PROSPECTIVE #3- 4 WR.

Harvin is proven, whereas Cobb has yet to prove squat in the NFL.
I'm bettin' he comes up "short" :icon_smile:

When Harvin is on the field.. he is a talented player no doubt. Lets hope our "runt" of a WR can stay on the field more than Percy.

I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt by calling him 3 or 4. It is possible that Cobb could be the 5th WR and 6-7 best when adding in TEs.

Isn't it amazing that someone so far down on the list for GB is nearly as good as the best Minn has to offer.

Doesn't that make you green with envy? :onfloor:

I don't get the short cracks on Cobb. Since his is the same height as Harvin. Since he actually weighs more than Harvin, we could crack on Percival for being a light weight.

Why not?

Cobb is something Grant and Starks don't seem to be.. overtly elusive in the open field.. so you place Cobb in the backfield to stretch the defense from sideline to sideline horizontally upon the field and let him work in open space.

I wouldn't line him up out of the backfield very many snaps a game.. but as a wrinkle.. especially in 3rd and mid to long situations.. it would apply more pressure upon the defense. I don't see it as a bad thing at all.

Work with me here Dexter, work with me.... I'm a freakin" Vikings fan on a cheesehead forum. ::wink:

NFL Combine

Percy Harvin
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 192 lbs.
College: Florida
Percy Harvin

Randall Cobb
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 191 lbs.
College: Kentucky
Randall Cobb

So Cobb is slightly shorter and a touch less weight and a whole hell of a lot less talent.
However, Cobb will gain the weight advantage , cause ridin" the pine will put on the pounds

As far as you calling a Harvin a "light weight"...ya right, that one will fly.

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.
