maybe this is tooting my own horn but 8 months ago I thought we got the best RB in the draft ... a nice powerback ... glad I was right for a change ;)

Beat the hell out of him for the remainder of this season and the next three. We probably won't be able to keep him once he hits FA anyway.

Add a couple bulls in the Oline and run him between the tackles. Quit the stretch and outside zone blockings, so we can throw some counters at defenses again.

I can't help but wonder if the ankle injury was a reason that he couldn't pull away from the defenders on that 60 yard run? Not that he has blazing speed or anything, but it may have been a contributing factor.

Eith way, he's been a huge bright spot for the Packers. Last time I saw a guy like that was John Brockington.

One thing though, and I maight be wrong on this. Many times this season it looked like there were big holes he could have run through if he would have seen them. Does anyone else also see that? Or am I imagining things?
Please don't misunderstand. I'm NOT knocking the guy. I think that with time he will even be better then he is now.....which is HUGE!

I feel like we've got four guys who can play at this position, if they bring Starks back next year.

Nice mucky. One of the things I see if how poor the blocking was for him on many of the plays.

Zero is not alone when it comes to evaluating draft picks and getting them wrong. But then many of us remember the you tube reaction those kids had when Uncle Teddy took Bustin Harrell. Sometimes we are right. Uncle Teddy should listen to us. Better still, let about 50 of us from PackerHome.com sit in the draft room all 3 days. Put some bleachers up along one of the walls and feed us snacks for the whole show.
