cedric is probably a little rusty, but then again the niners run defense is one of the best, so it really didnt matter who we put in there !!

To be fair, Cobb did look decent on those inside screens.

I don't know why, but this team just canNOT run regular outside screens to save it's life. Or won't. It would be of especial help against a strong pass rush like the 9ers'.

I just don't get why we didn't see Green at least get a carry or two. CedBen was going nowhere.

It doesn't matter a whole lot if the backs are getting the ball and running into a wall. Get Barry Sanders in his prime and maybe with his ability to reverse fields he could average 3 yards per carry behind this O-Line's run blocking.

Not play the 49ers.

They had a historically strong run defense last year. Nobody runs on them. You can't read a lot into the rushing attack based on this game. The matchup was just terrible for the Packers in that regard. We'll learn more against Chicago and Seattle, but New Orleans is the real test. You can't run on them and you can't run on anybody.

Still, you'd think the Packers would break off at least ONE decent run in a game. And they didn't. NO blocking up front, and no attempt at an outside run. All up the middle for 2 yards.

Benson has a chance to make his old team look bad.....or look great.
Of course with no blocking, no one can make any big gains.

There are more ways to run a football than straight up the middle. How about, a sweep? How about getting a reverse to Cobb? How about giving Kuhn a few carries? And where did our RB screens go?

Edit, this thread was a fail, lol. What's the problem with the Packers rushing attack? The players? The coach? The scheme? The running back? The lack of dedication to run the ball? Something else?

Completely different rules from those days.

Let's not forget that we had Hall of Fame OL in those days as well. The only possible Hall of Famer on our OL right now is Saturday, and he's at the end of his career (a stop gap until we draft and/or develop another C).

Back to the original topic, we should have mixed it up. Starks was inactive (if I'm not mistaken, 🇲🇲 said he wasn't 100% back from his injury in the preseason). So that leaves us Kuhn, Green, and the occasional Cobb trick play. Why didn't they get any carries? And why didn't we try at least one reverse?

Benson up the middle for 2 yards isn't gonna win you any games (unless those are all goal line runs, which they weren't).

dfosterf (2h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (2h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (3h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (3h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (3h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (3h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (3h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (3h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (3h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (3h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (3h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (4h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (4h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (4h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (4h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (5h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (5h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (6h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (21h) : 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?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh
