The only way Ty Montgomery is going to become a three-down back for the Green Bay Packers is if he can pass protect. That's what the team is focusing on.

Remember Brandon Jackson? 2nd round pick, iirc and his specialty was pass pro. This is what Ty has to work on, and more importantly, what Jamal Williams needs to work on. Because Williams is gonna be the bell cow.

I was reading this article a little while ago, really like the idea of bringing in Brandon Jackson to help mentor the young guys. At 31 I think he's probably a little easier for the rookies to relate to and as you said pass protection was his specialty.

Also although I like all 3 of the RBs Green Bay drafted and am excited to see who steps up, this is Ty Montgomery's backfield this year. Assuming he stays healthy he's going to get more plays/carries than all 3 rookies combined.

Pass protection was/is the primary reason that John Kuhn was replaced with Aaron Ripkowski . GB has used a FB to pass block for years . Kuhn was also known to occasionally rip off a good run as Ripkowski also does .
Training the RBs to pass block is a good thing also. It adds versatility to to the offense on 1st and 2nd Downs. It could weigh into the mix of who makes the roster and who gets cut . RBs usually have good power in their legs, so upper body strength for holding on to the football and for effective pass blocking may see the RBs building up that part of their body's in the weight room . I will be looking to here reports on who has excelled in the off season weight training program .

ALL RB's need to be able to pass protect. It keeps the defense honest.
Otherwise, if you only bring in certain guys, it tips your hand on what you are going to do.
Like, "Ty is in, they are going to run, not pass".

Always thought with Ty they would be better off having him for a dump off rather than blocking. Ty with the ball in space against a LBer. We should win that battle most of the time.

On a little swing pass to the flat as a check down/blitz breaker, we should have good success with Ty one on one with a LBer in the flat.

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2
