As long as Jones is the featured back and Monty the change of pace/3rd down back I think it will work.

Yes Aaron Jones did very well, but it was against an injured\poor Cowboys defense, when the Packers had their healthiest OL.

I'm not knocking Jones, just saying I believe Monty would of done a hell lot better against the Cowboys than the Seahawks, Bengals, etc... especially with them still figuring out what to do with the injured OL.

It's hard to say how Monty would have done. That said, a one two punch would be great! Opening up the play action pass would give us a new twist and keep the D off of Rodgers.

Aaron Jones doesn't have the measurements to be a RB.

When Ty is in he is in for every down.
When Aaron comes in he Will be in for every down.
Same with Jamaal.
When Randall Cobb comes in(yes they still do that), he is in for every down

Mike said he hopes to at some point have a 1-4 punch.
Still plenty of football left.
Packers are going to need all these guys to get through to February.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

There is a "I don't know what it is" with Jones in the backfield. Perhaps it is the line, but he just seems to be comfortable hitting the holes and making cuts when needed. This kid is pretty exciting. Is last week an over-evaluation of his talent? Maybe, but if our week-to-week is 80% I'm ok with that.

dfosterf (5h) : This goes out to WPR as well. Lucy Thomas sings Unchained Melody by the Rightous Brothers. All I can say is, wow

dfosterf (5h) : Got the reference, as usual. I think you have to have a few miles on you to get it, props to you! My thank you is to make a suggestion. ..

Martha Careful (6h) : never spectacular, but well above average in my day!!! My draft picks, however outstanding.

dfosterf (6h) : But not real? (Sidra in Seinfeld reference)

Martha Careful (7h) : OK Zero, used a draft simulator and have posted my picks. They are spectacular

Zero2Cool (7h) : AI probably like meh I say bad idea, but you gonna do it anyway!!!

Zero2Cool (7h) : dfosfter, I asked AI if I should do something, it recommended I do not, then showed me how to do it anyway.

Zero2Cool (9h) : Yeah, beast you got it right. not sure what the heck i was reading

Zero2Cool (9h) : Oh wow, I read something way wrong. Vikings did NOT send 2nd.

Zero2Cool (9h) : That's how I feel about it when I think of doing X, I then do Y!

dfosterf (10h) : I'm here to help. Give me your options, I will make my suggestion, then you can do the opposite

Zero2Cool (10h) : Mainly because I cannot make a friggin decision.

Zero2Cool (10h) : Creating forum is much harder than expected haha

beast (13h) : 49ers got two picks (one in 2025, and 2026), Vikings got a RB and one lower 2025 pick

beast (13h) : Huh? Vikings have the same amount of 2025 picks as before the 49ers trade... and their 2nd round pick is with the Bills from '24 draft trade

Zero2Cool (16h) : Vikings have just four picks now. They shipped their 2nd to 49ers.

beast (16-Mar) : 49ers sure didn't get much for him...

Zero2Cool (16-Mar) : TRADE The 49ers are trading RB Jordan Mason to the Vikings.

Zero2Cool (16-Mar) : and Vikings say JJ is QB1

beast (16-Mar) : Rumors: Steelers and Giants are waiting on Rodgers answer, while Rodgers is waiting on the Vikings answer, Rodgers wants Vikings

beast (15-Mar) : Then maybe they'll be paying you to stop

Zero2Cool (15-Mar) : you really really do not want to see me dance

beast (15-Mar) : Ookay, get up on the pole and start dancing, and I'll try to send people over to give you $1 bills

Zero2Cool (15-Mar) : I'm an issue. Throw money at me, I will go away.

beast (15-Mar) : Bears have thrown a lot of money and draft picks at QBs and haven't found one (though maybe they finally have now)

beast (15-Mar) : Throwing money and draft picks at issues don't necessarily fix an issue

TheKanataThrilla (15-Mar) : I keep on hearing pass rush, but it astounds me how much $$ we have invested and draft picks and still don't have one.

TheKanataThrilla (15-Mar) : Hope we don't avoid someone like Christian Gonzalez which would have been a real gift last season.

TheKanataThrilla (15-Mar) : There always seems to be a high draft pick that slips and is there when we pick.

Zero2Cool (15-Mar) : Aaron Rodgers hopes to sign with the Vikings, per Mike Silver.

Zero2Cool (15-Mar) : You're not gonna go for what your board says? Just straight up positions?

Martha Careful (15-Mar) : my drafts would be OL DL and CB centric. Preferably from power 4 conferences who have started 2+ years

Mucky Tundra (15-Mar) : How much of that is guaranteed?

Zero2Cool (14-Mar) : $45m over three years. Yikes.

dfosterf (14-Mar) : Seahawks sign Cooper Kupp

Zero2Cool (14-Mar) : Colts sign CB Corey Ballentine.

dfosterf (14-Mar) : At least give it some spins in your mocks. Not Martha, she's disqualified, lol

dfosterf (14-Mar) : You have to like Tyliek Williams DL from Ohio State to agree with me on this

dfosterf (14-Mar) : quality dl in the 2nd and quality edge in the 3rd

dfosterf (14-Mar) : Taking Mathew Golden WR in the 1st is consistently working out for me in getting q

Zero2Cool (14-Mar) : LB Eric Wilson to Vikings

Zero2Cool (13-Mar) : Hobbs said Jaire reached out and congratulated him.

Martha Careful (13-Mar) : ditto, I wish nothing but the best for AJ Diilan and Josh Myers. and yes dfosterf, you are correct

Mucky Tundra (12-Mar) : Love AJ but it was time to move on. Also, gonna be interesting to see how he does behind Phillys oline
