I just wish they'd use Harris a little more in the passing game-he's got a lot more quickness than Lacy and during the 2012 season he looked a lot more natural at it than Starks does.

"I think a lot of times these linebackers think they're going to run him over and then they take the brunt of it," Clements said. "If you watch him, he's a powerful guy. Very strong legs. He's compact."

The well-muscled Harris stopped three blitzers from the Rams and several more from the Raiders.

"You've got to like it," Harris said. "You've just got to stick your head in there."

I am in total agreement with getting the ball in Harris' hands more often. I would like to see him used like a Sproles type of back and think he has the talent to pull it off. I also think he makes Starks expendable, but as we have all 3 and they are healthy and the weather is going to get worse lets see what the future brings. I am not sure if there is a big difference from Flynn to Tolzien other than experience in the Packers Offensive system. I can lament on the plays Flynn has made while he has played this season, but one also has to remember last night he was playing with back-up guards, back-up WRs and not much of a motivation to be all that creative other than kill the clock. He must be doing something well in practice.

I really wasn't that impressed with Boykin last night from what I saw. Just throwing another back-up type guy into the mix for discussion.

Both Starks and Harris offer a little something but neither will be effective if the OL doesn't do their job first. Lacy at least has been able to get 3-4 yards after being hit in the backfield. No one else will be able to do that.
