I'm glad to see Ted Thompson make the move. He saw a problem and is doing what he can to remedy it. Our SB window is now, we can't hope someone busts out, then if they don't, draft someone next year and then wait a year or two for them to develop. I wouldn't be against bringing Grant back if necessary. The only other option is a trade. I don't know what is out there. I'm for anything that makes us better. A large part of the problem could be the OL. If that's true it should get better as we get our starting OL together.

James Starks has a hard time holding onto the ball? Career wise, he has two fumbles and one was lost. Food for thought.

---

Maybe Uncle 🇹🇹 is using Benson to keep Grant, showing Grant that the Packers are the ones with leverage. Grant likes to believe he has leverage.

To be honest, I'd rather have Starks/Grant as they're awesome together. Starks is a tough guy. Grant has burst. They make a good 1-2 combo.

Benson did rush for 1000+ yards last year so he might have something left in the tank. He might be a one-year stop gap while we're developing one of our young RBs.

I've had ex-girlfriends who were easier to read than Uncle 🇹🇹. Hard to tell what he's thinking. I would like to believe what I originally said - that he's using Benson to show Grant that the Packers are the ones with the leverage.

I like Starks also, so I still hope he comes through. Benson could still be a good addition because I don't think any of the GB RB's are very "tough" runners and Benson could ads this dimension. Also, our RB's haven't shown much of an ability to make the first player miss. So if as was mentioned, Benson can do this, then we have another dimension in our RB stable.

Saine pulled a hammy. This seems like a message to starks. Don't think Saine will be ready for a bit. I like what I saw from Marc Tyler though. He's got a chance. Starks has hands of stone. He becomes a liability in our offense when you can't catch in the flat and make a play.

You really believe that Jim Ringo story huh? [palm]

Ryan Grant wanted a new contract and the Packers were coincidentally going through the whole Brett Favre trade stuff. Yeah, Ryan Grant planned that. The Packers started contract talks with Ryan Grant early June. But yeah, let's fault Ryan Grant and make him look bad, right?


I don't understand why some of us twist the facts around so much. It's mind boggling.

---

Zero, what really happened in the Ringo trade?

---

It's led to believe that Lombardi traded Ringo because he came in with his agent, but truth is, the trade was already in the works prior to that. It does make for a good story though, lol. Guy walks in with agent, demands contract, coach steps out, comes back and says you're traded.

RT @emersonpackfan what is the hold up with the Cedric Benson signing in Green Bay? >> Give it another 24-48 hours #packers
