How long has it been since this team has had a 60 plus yard run? Does it go back to the ahman green era?

Randall Cobb had a 67 yarder in 2013.

Brandon Jackson had a 71 yarder in 2010.

Ryan Grant had rushes of 62, 66, 57, 62, and 56 from 2007 through 2009.

That takes us back to the Ahman Green era.

Having a realistic threat that we CAN have a RB do that has to help the offense a lot. They can't just pin their ears back and rush AR, thinking we don't have a running threat.

Just look what Monty does for the team going forward. Lacy loses most of any bargaining power he might have had. If Monty was just a return man and WR we would probably end up having to overpay to keep Lacy or go into the offseason with maybe one RB in Michael. We can go into the offseason with Monty, Michael, Crockett and Jackson. And he can also fill a spot in the WR depth chart also, so we can keep an extra WR for development, or use the position for an Extra TE or Lineman if we need.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Thinking on all the tools Montgomery brings to the table, I now know where Christian McCaffrey learned to be so versatile.

I'd love to have Lacy back next year if we can structure a reasonable contract. Would be fun to roll with a backfield of Lacy, Montgomery, and Ripkowski (Michael too if he's fine with a similar contract to what he's been on; not a bad number 3).

Monty is "lightning" to Eddie Lacy's thunder.

Mike HATES fast RBs. He wants FBs like Eddie at the position. A guy like Monty makes it harder not to run fundamental WCO type "Roger Craig" type screens and traps, which Mike also hates.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round
