B-Jack isn't healthy now. Thats why i want to see what Wynn can do in the Lions game. Grant has been so-so at best, so why not take this game to see what Wynn can really do?
Give the kid a REAL shot to see if he can do what i think he can do.
At this point, what is there to lose?

I don't know about lose, but we sure can avoid some more Ryan Grant incentives by playing Wynn more.

We should've stopped Grant from even getting to 1000 if you ask me. Nothing against him, but I'd have liked to see Jackson more and a 3.7 average isn't worth the money we're paying him when he reached a 1000 yards.

Like I said though, I don't know if Wynn is going to be that great. I think he'll be pretty bad in normal game situations. His average was ok last season 4.1 (203 yards on 50 carries), but Grants where amazing aswell. The way defenses gameplan against us has changed and our O-line has pretty much collapsed.

I'll say it again, I think he'll be maybe a Lendale White like back, used in short yardage situations, just bruising through defenders.

The problem is can he stay healthy that has been his big problem,why we have Grant whom I think will be a lot better next year,Brandon is good say we keep all,and use them some how.

We could have some sort of a set like this:

Fullback: Deshawn Wynn
Halfback: Ryan Grant / Brandon Jackson

Wynn is alright, but we could get a faster, more explosive type player in the draft to replace him...something like a Chris Johnson.

Sorry for only taking a part of what you're saying, but this is something I wanted to bring up. Grant has been disappointing this year. A 3.7 average is not acceptable, and Jackson has shown flashes whereas Grant hasn't. I'm seriously wondering why we don't see more of Jackson.

As for Wynn, he hits the line hard. Just for a tempo change, I don't see why we don't throw in Wynn more too. That guy seems to fight for every possible yard and hits the line harder than Grant does. At worst, it wears down opponents.

Root of the running problem starts up front and with the lack of confidence MM and staff have in it..

Wynn has a chance to prove that he is past his maturity issues and have a strong offseason and come in with the attitude to take carries away from the other two.. compliment the team with another talented runner.

We as a team have to become more confident in running the ball and actually commit to the run like we did in the later parts of the 07' season.. starts up front.

Well said. MM has been all talk and no action. Keeps saying that we need to commit to the run, and then where's the run come game time?

I'm hoping Grant is just having a Sophomore slump because I loved the guy in '07. Wynn I still see as having a lot of potential and for that alone, let's see what he can do. And from the little I've seen of Brandon Jackson, he's put a smile on my face.

Sorry, off topic....but how big was Grant's contract that he signed? Like how much money and how many years?

5 virtual bucks says that if he gets another crack at it, Wynn is going to surprise most at how good he can run the rock, even with our shitty o-line. I feel it, and have for some time.

I think the whole semi-shaft job he absorbed (tough-shit, btw, imo) helped him grow up exponentially from last year to this.

Give him the ball !

Did i say it???
The kid gets it done when he gets a shot.
I hope they go to him a few more times in the 2nd half.

I think he has shown he deserves more touches todsy but it looks like he won't.

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?

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.
