I'd like to see Jackson carry it more, but I don't know if it would have alot of use.

They're both about the same backs. Maybe we should draft a fast 10-touch back this year, that would really help in a commitee.

See my thread in the draft section that's called "the running back position." That's exactly what I said.

Well......now our only hope left is to beat the Bears, and HOPEFULLY not end up as the Lions first, and only win this year.

During the game I predicted that if we lose to the Texans, we will go on to lose to the Lions. I stand by that prediction.

the runningback-by-committee model is the future of the position, we should adopt it too!

Hmmm.. I distinctly remember last season, early on being pissed that we consistently rotated backs into the game.. never giving anyone a chance to get into a groove like Grant had second half of the this game.

Rotating backs is effective if they have a contrast in style.. or if you are pumping the run game non stop. We don't stay on the running game consistently and I would challenge that there is alot of difference in styles.

Grant is a jackhammer and Jackson is a bit more elusive, but neither is a open field threat.

Not saying it is wrong, just offering an opinion.

Good point, though I do want to point out that last season, our entire complement of backs seemed to be hurt on a revolving basis..

Man....i hope you are wrong. How bad would that hurt? Heck.....had the Lions kicked some field goals, they would have beat the Vikings today. But they kept going for it on 4th down.

The Texans arn't a powerhouse........and to lose to them AT HOME, just shows how much our D REALLY sucks.

Not only does it show badly our D sucks, it shows how mediocre our team is overall. 5-8 may be just about right.

But hey, look at the bright side. We could still finish 8-8.

I am pleading for Mike McCarthy to quit abandoning the run game...

WTF MIKE

Zero2Cool (2h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (5h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (5h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (8h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (9h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

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?

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?
