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.

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

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
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
