How many times does Eddie bust into the open field? At 4.8+, he always gets caught from behind. Don Jackson is 4.4-4.5 iirc. That's probably why they're so hesitant to activate him. Mike hates fast RBs. But this offense would look much better with a few long TD runs here and there.

Won't be a third down guy until he can pass pro. But I think he can hit the hole.

Though McCarthy said Jackson was still a member of the practice squad, a source said he is expected to be signed to the active roster Wednesday. Because he took part in the offseason program and rejoined the team in Week 1 after being released just before training camp, Jackson has a solid working knowledge of the offense and may get the starting nod Thursday night.

Any word on Don's injury status?

“This is how we’re going to have to play for a little bit until we get Knile up to speed and Don (Jackson) up to speed,” Rodgers said. “I thought (Montgomery) played great tonight, made a lot of plays. The short passing game was like an extension of the run game in games like tonight when you’re going with a lot of four-receiver packages with Ty back there (at running back).”

Kind of sounds like they expect him back. Sounds like hand, not neck.
