Man, then you gotta remember next year you'll have Harris and Franklin coming back. If all four get through TC healthy and having shown something, do you keep all four?

I think this week we should give Starks a bigger work load and save lacy just for in case starks isnt getting it done. Lacy keeps re tweaking that ankle every week and it might be better if we could get away with giving him a week off. Weve got a good back up and this is a perfect situation to use him.

This is a great role for Starks. Keeps him healthy due to the limited snaps. He might have to take more of the load until Lacy gets better though. He's had an ankle.

We're gonna be loaded at this position next year.

I would just like to remind everyone that I predicted the Lacy greatness the second he was drafted.

I see nothing at all wrong with keeping all four RBs next season with the high potential for injuries, etc. Kuhn has been a good soldier for a long time, but I lean toward the idea of cutting him - as was said, Lacy etc. takes his run role and Taylor or whoever of the TEs handles the FB/H Back job. I think his blocking just seems better because the RBs have made better use of his blocks.

Revisiting this for curiousity sake. I think Starks role is fantastic and think he's doing awesome as a part time player. When he comes onto the field, he looks like he could break it deep.

Eddie Lacy
263 attempts
1,112 yards
4.2 average
60 long
3 20+
10 TD
58 first downs



James Starks
78 attempts
405 yards
5.2 average
34 long
4 20+
3 TD
24 first downs

Edit, ProFootballFocus has Eddie Lacy ranked as the 3rd best RB in the NFL behind LeSean McCoy and Jamal Charles. I would just like to remind everyone that I predicted the Lacy greatness the second he was drafted.

You are right of course but I'm getting a little tired of NEXT YEAR. It seems like it's been a long time since any of those things are applicable to THIS YEAR.

Hopefully NEXT YEAR will be THIS YEAR.

Not worried about next year, not worried about the rest of this year.

Little bit excited about thids Sunday, another North Championship on the line.

My opinion on John Kuhn, worth every cent he has been paid!!!

In 2010 when The Packers were down to their 4th and 5th string RB's it was Kuhn who stepped out of his FB position and became the rb The Packers were in such need of.
After Starks got healthy and came on, there went Kuhn back to being a FB.

Anyone notice how this year that little dive play to the FB(Kuhn) that was so successful in 2010, all of a sudden is back and working again?

Not sure where Kujn is in his contract, if it is up, there's a good chance he may not be back, but if he has a year left, wouldn't let him go for anyone else.
