Starks looked great running the ball tonight. I'm really liking the rotation we have. It was particularly fantasmic to see us converting on 2nd/3rd and short situations. That said, Starks was bad in pass protection. That is clearly the biggest weakness to his game and he needs to improve.

P.S. in what universe is 40/9 = 4?

Now it says
Starks 4.8
Grant 4.4

I thought Starks did well in pass pro. He's not a Bjack who just specializes in that, and he's quite young yet too. In a way, he's still a rookie, because he hasn't been activated for a full 16 games yet. Plus he missed this offseason due to the lockout. He's doing fine, and he's just gonna get better at that stuff.
Nice to see those FB dive plays with Kuhn work. Now that we actually have threats at RB, they gotta cover other shit, they can't just assume Kuhn's gonna get it.

Now his running kicked ass and I'm very happy with it. But if Starks doesn't improve in pass protection, I don't want him protecting Aaron.

I wanna see if you can put "Ergo" AND "pass pro" in a single post. Go:
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

I saw Starks pick up blitzers too. If Grant was better he'd be that guy. They didn't even try him there in TC.

I think that over the next three or four weeks there is a pretty good possibility that we'll see that Starks is a better back than Grant.

There's no way you can argue right now that he's the best back in pass protection on the Packers' roster.
