As for Ty Montgomery. He (among others) look to be playing scared and uptight. It's as if he's afraid (and several others) to make a mistake.

Of course this has made me wonder why aren't they using their big power RBs? Do they not trust them for some reason (such as they're not ready) or are they saving certain packages.

But I feel a power RB like Rip or Mays could hit and bounce off some of the early tackles better with this current blocking struggling.

I don't get it. We are 1st and 5 and have no confidence to get the first down with 3 runs.

Lacy may of not fit in our scheme but he was our best running back we've had in the past 5 years.

I keep saying & will keep saying it again ... Monty is not a #1 running back ... I would much rather use him as a WR he will be more productive.


Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

Yes Packers mainly run zone blocking, but all 32 teams run some of both.

And with four OGs in the game (counting Murphy as an OG), they should be able to do some simply power runs. And ask a big RB to break one tackle and lean forward for the second one. Should be able to get 3 or more yards (when not in short yardage situation).

They tried a lot of those short passes to Monty, but by the time he got the ball, he had no where to go... a big RB can at least nail the first defender there and maybe break the tackle and pick up a few yards.

I think with our offense, Monty is the best option not because he is a #1 RB, but because of the receiving threat out of the backfield. 253 combined yards against 3 top end defenses. Not the worst production.

Its not just the blocking scheme, it is a large part that a high percentage of runs come when Rodgers is not under Center. It is much harder for Lacy to get going and use his size and power when he is basically getting what are little more than Draws so often.

With our offense and run game I would rather have Monty, or someone else similar than a power back. Someone like Sproles would have been a great match in this offense.

Why are you ticked at Ted Thompson? I don't understand this. Josh Sitton had to be let go and his replacement Lane Taylor has done a damn good job. TJ Lang CHOSE to sign with the Lions and be closer to home. He's from Michigan. How this on Ted Thompson? I don't get this constant barrage of disdain towards Ted Thompson when we seem to always ignore the plethora of factors that go into a player signing here, or elsewhere. It is NEVER just one person at fault. NEVER.

As for Ty Montgomery. He (among others) look to be playing scared and uptight. It's as if he's afraid (and several others) to make a mistake.

When Montgomery gets ~135 yards Thursday, things will be good in the hood.

Wouldn't mind some WCO fundamentals. THREE STEP DROP from under center. GET THE BALL OUT. Screens, traps. Roger Craig type shit for Ty.
