How bad does this dude have to be if he hasn't even seen the field yet? Jeff Janis has gotten offensive snaps! 😂

Granted, this staff have a history of holding guys out in order to teach them a lesson about how to go about your business as a pro. But damn! It's gotten to the point where IMHO we should give him a snap or two, send him down the seam. What's the worst that could happen, he'd take up a roster spot and not get open? Drop the ball?

The Packers got Finley involved his rookie year like that. They gave him a special play, which of course he promptly F'd up and tried to blame it on Aaron. But that whole experience was a great learning opportunity for him. I personally believe it did him alot of good.

Now whether Backman is Finley or closer to Tyrone Davis/Donald Lee/DJ Williams and the host of other guys at this position who never panned out remains to be seen. But hey man, I wouldn't mind seeing him run down the field a couple times.

After that demoralizing beat down they underwent in Arizona they should be willing to try anything. The status quo isn't working.

Backman made one play up the seam in the pre-season and that's all I remember. I don't remember his snaps during the regular season being anything worthy of increased playing time. Guy's a project. Justin Perillo was playing well before he got hurt. That seems to be the case all around our offense this year. Shame.

Forget it we could have cut him before the season started. It just didn't work.

He has ok size at 6' 3" and 245 lbs and runs too high and isn't that great of a blocker and ran the forty 4.66. I'm not going to hold my breath on him being any kind of weapon. I think Andrew Quarless will be more of an asset to the offense.

It's really too bad Colt Lyerla is a mental midget because at 6' 4" and 242 lbs with a 4.61 combined with his athleticism (Backman lacks this big time), he could really have had a good 8 - 10 year professional career in the NFL.

But with this staff, you really have to earn your way onto the field. Janis made the active roster through ST.

We might as well try it out. Offense can't get worse then what it is now.

Bring Holmgren back to call the plays and we might send a TE up the seam. McCarthy is afraid of the short middle of the field for anything but a check down.


How bad off is the team if a rookie 6th round pick is our secret weapon.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
