Hm, interesting reading people's opinion on Grant... I disagree with most of them. I think Grant has exactly the right tools to be in this offense, I rate his ability on the second level as second to less than a handful of guys in the entire NFL. I really do; I think Grant has great elusiveness that can be utilized in our offense.
My problem with the overall running game is McCarthy's lack of commitment to establishing it. McCarthy talks big about establishing the run... well great, but how many times does he come out intending to do that? Not very many in my opinion...
What I'm liking this-offseason is that MM seems to realize that he needs to tweak some things. Continuity on the offense will be a great thing, and should help Grant.
As for the FB, I'm curious to see who wins the competition. The interesting thing is that I'm not sure who has a leg up going into the off-season workouts. Hall and Khun are vets, but they don't come close to blocking like QJ. Yet Quinn Johnson is inexperienced, even if a punishing lead blocker - you have to think it'll be tougher blocking bigger/stronger/quicker players right away.
I wonder if the Packers could keep Johnson on the PS for one year. Obviously that would mean Johnson makes a commitment that he won't sign elsewhere, which I'm not sure he would... should definitely be a fun TC battle to keep an eye on.
