I haven't noticed much different from the RB's, except Grant looks a step quicker than last year, more like he did in '07. I think the big difference with the running game this year is the O-line is blocking better. Maybe that is giving the RB's more confidence so they are being more aggressive.

I find it exceedingly difficult to believe that Sutton would clear waivers. There is a dearth of RB talent in the league right now; surely some team could use a backup. Praying that Sutton clears waivers is a gamble I hope the coaching staff won't make.

A quick browse on google news shows that Sutton has been the subject of 8 articles over the last few days: Google News . Thus, I also find it increasingly unlikely that he would make it through waivers.

I don't think he has a future on kickoff returns, but he definitely could provide something different in the backfield. He might lack the blocking power of DeShawn Wynn (the likely cut if the Packers are to keep Sutton as one of 3 RBs), but the most intriguing aspect about Sutton is his ability to 'hide' behind the fullback. He could be a Morris Jones Drew/Darren Sproles kind of back, albeit without blazing speed.

Any update on Jackson's shin. Sutton will make the team if Jackson is hurt worse than originally reported. Shin bruise turns into a fracture. Or the team keeps 4 on the roster. I don't see them keeping just Grant, Jackson, Sutton because we wouldn't have a short yardage back at all. Grant would be the biggest.

Thanks for this.

Sidenote, did anyone else notice in the first half how agressive sutton is? He seems to love contact and i love him for it. Not sure exactly when it happened but it must have been his one and only reception in the first half. Out on the flat he caught a pass near the sideline with 1 defender to beat, rather than following his momentum and just getting out of bounds or trying to run around the guy, he turned in and tried to bulldoze right through him. With that low center of gravity the guy can really use his power to his advantage. Loved it.

Part of me thinks the roster spots are already locked up: Grant, Jackson, Wynn and Sutton with Lumpkin on the PS if he clears waivers.

However it is likely that Wynn, Sutton and Lumpkin will be getting the vast majority, if not all, the carries against the Titans (who play their 1st team in game 4).

That is a huge opportunity for these guys to impress the coaches.

I can't think of any reason he shouldn't match or better his yardage from last season. He struggled thru his injury to get to 1200 last year. Being healthy this year I would think he should get there just fine.

You don't have to enjoy my threads, but I believe this is a good question.

Fan Shout
packerfanoutwest (2h) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (2h) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (2h) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (5h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (5h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (5h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (5h) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (5h) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (5h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (5h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (5h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (6h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (6h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (6h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (6h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (6h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (7h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
Zero2Cool (7h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (7h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
packerfanoutwest (7h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
Zero2Cool (8h) : I see what you did there Mucky
Zero2Cool (8h) : dammit. 3:25pm
Zero2Cool (8h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
Mucky Tundra (8h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
Mucky Tundra (8h) : Yeah baby!
Zero2Cool (9h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
Zero2Cool (10h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
beast (10h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
Zero2Cool (11h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's
Zero2Cool (11h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.
packerfanoutwest (11h) : ok I stand corrected
Zero2Cool (11h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th
Zero2Cool (11h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?
beast (11h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.
beast (11h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out
Zero2Cool (11h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.
beast (11h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games
beast (11h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
beast (11h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs
Zero2Cool (11h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
Zero2Cool (11h) : I literally just said it.
packerfanoutwest (11h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
Zero2Cool (11h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
Zero2Cool (11h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.
packerfanoutwest (11h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what
Zero2Cool (11h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.
packerfanoutwest (11h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in
packerfanoutwest (11h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker
packerfanoutwest (12h) : if bucs win out they win their division
beast (12h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us
