Josh Jacobs, rushing game give Packers something to rely on

According to ESPN Research, Jacobs has averaged 80.6 yards per game between the tackles this season, which ranks second in the NFL behind only Saquon Barkley. No Packers player has averaged that many yards between the tackles since ESPN began tracking rush direction in 2006.

"You know that No. 8 out there?" LaFleur said referring to Jacobs by his number. "Did you see how many people he made miss? It was pretty impressive."

It's always a gamble moving on from a beloved player and teammate like Aaron Jones but Josh Jacobs is answering the call so far this season.

I don't think the offense changes much, nor improves much. And this is coming from a huge Aaron Jones fan. I am just of the mindset that Wilson and Brooks do pretty damn good as RB2 role.

If we have to get rid of someone we signed (which we don't, but if you want me to name someone) then don't re-sign AJ Dillon.

I think Jacobs and Jones would do a much better job of keeping each other fresh.

Both need touches to get going and they've slowly been getting better at knowing who to lean on and at what time.

Jones worked well with Love because he didn't need a large volume of carries to be effective. You can bottle up Jones on four straight carries and he would rip off a 50 yard run on the 5th carry.

If we had all 3, I feel either we would be doing the same song and dance about Jones' touches ("MLF forgot about Jones again!") or Jacobs wouldn't get enough carries to be effective ("Why did we pay this guy?!")

beast (26-Jan) : Someone pointed out, with Raiders hiring Carroll, the division games between Carroll and Jim Harbaugh are back on (who can whine more games)

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.
