Maybe it is just me, but has anybody else noticed that the RBs are already at full speed before they get the ball this year? I like it, I think it turns no gains into 1-2 yarders or even more. Also, it seems that we are pitching it out wide and back quite often. These always make me nervous because of the possibility of fumbles. I just hope this years RB crew gets it done.

Well it is preseason..They should have a little burst behind them..They're fresh. Now when we get to week 6..7..8..That's when it'll be good to see if they have that same "burst" or not. I don't see too much of a difference really..I think Grant, and Brandon, have always tried to hit the hole with as much burst as they can muster. Again..Wait till a little later in the season before making any real judgment on a difference.

Thats where it's so good to have so many backs right now. If you have 3 good backs, you can keep them fresh.

We may have four good backs.

Thing is we seem to give Grant the vast majority of the carries. I just hope BJax gets some action, when he's been given the ball he seems to do well and fights for the extra yardage.

We may have Wynn as the bruiser and Sutton as the change of pace guy.

Wynn showed some nifty moves early in the game to, pretty light on his feet.

Wynn seems to be the best at blitz pickup although Sutton apparently did ok with that last week in practice.

I think the Packers are VERY interested in seeing more playing time for Wynn, Sutton, and Lumpkin.

I'm sitting here in the fourth quarter watching the Packers run Lumpkin three times in a row -- including a 4th and 1 which he converted.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Bad run on 3rd and 1 at the goal line from Sutton. QJ drives his man back into the end zone and instead of following him in Sutton breaks left and gets tackled backwards.

Can't be missing touchdowns like that.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
