I am hearing conflicting stories as to whether the coaches pulled Grant due to ineffective play, or if he begged out with his boo-boo. Any word on this?

In either case, he looked very disinterested on the sidelines on the occassions I saw him on the tube. Not a real positive from where I sit.

Start B Jack the rest of the way and give Grant some touches. At least Brandon shows some heart...driving the pile and gaining extra yards, while Grant goes down or backwards upon relatively minor contact. Maybe Grant will rediscover his drive, now that his wallet has been fattened. The next Cleditus Hunt, by chance?

McCarthy said it was a collective decision, with him (MM), RB Coach Bennett, and Ryan Grant agreeing to sit Grant out due to concerns that his hand bruise might make it difficult for Grant to carry the football, exposing him to fumbles.

I still think Grant should start, but I really think a more 65-35 distribution of the workload is in order. Jackson has been terrific when given touches, he deserves more.

I could understand giving Grant 30+ going into the bye week, hoping to have him get going, but now I think it's time to have B-Jack get 10-15 per game.

Brandon Jackson runs with fire and desire. Very important things when it comes to football. I would love for him to start the rest of the way.

Our whole team, save a few players, seem to think they can just show up and take victory home.

The lack of "fire", for lack of a better term, has never been so evident as since the Mike Sherman era.....just a bunch of zombies half the time they take the field.

I think maybe I should take my left leg.. the metal one and make a trip to Green Bay.. start a free ass kicking day.. either start playing with passion or take the Iron kick in the ass and move to another team.

Kick em in the nads instead. It's a much quicker eye opener, besides some of them have to much lard in the ass.

At his point, starts/jobs need to be on the line. This is a terribly unresponsive team.

B Jack should start. He runs like his life depends upon it. Grant is done in GB.

Brandon just needs to be our 3rd down/skat back. Bring him in for those draws and pass plays. Grant is our in between the tackles and outside run/toss plays. Theres no reason why we cant use both of them.
