Him and Lacy would do a number on defenses! Sure we already got Harris and Franklin but why not? Power running all the way! 🖐

Last season, Adrian Peterson and Toby Gerhart did a number on the Packers and the announcers made note they are two different style running backs. The Packers were trying to stop Gerhart with the scheme designed to slow Peterson.

The point? If you are going to compliment a running back, you do so with a different style and hope to catch the defense with the wrong personnel.

Blount is used up,(not really but to make my point, let's say he is).

Ted will probably trade out of the 1st round, get an extra 2nd and 3rd rnd pick from someone else and use that extra 2nd round pick on a rb.

Carlos Hyde out of Ohio State would probably still be available.

Lacy, Franklin, Hyde, Harris.

I could live with a stable of young guns like that taking the pressure off of Rodgers and the passing game.

Blount wouldn't be a bad pick up, as we have seen in the past, a team can never have enough rb's ready to step in.

Packers have two in Harris and Franklin, and whoever else they add during the draft or after the draft. I think we are solid at the RB position, for the first time in years.

Transitioning LGB to safety would take too much time. I don't think it would be a good pickup.

Starks likely comes back. There's no market for RBs right now.

Fan Shout

packerfanoutwest (2h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (2h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (3h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (3h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (4h) : Who? What?

beast (12h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (17h) : meh

Zero2Cool (21h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

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
