He juked a guy last night! Did anyone see that? I almost came in my pants. I was watching the game with around twenty people and we all were flabbergasted when Grant actually got past a one-on-one tackle situation.

Seriously though, Grant looked pretty good last night. I still think we need a quick, flashy back to compliment Grants downhill running style but I'm a bit more optimistic about a run game going into the bye.

I don't understand how some want to blast the OL for our lack of protection, yet blast Grant for not gaining big yards. It is the same OL afterall.

I agree that the OL has had a problem and it should factor into our poor running game but watch other running backs in the NFL. They never want the play to be over, they don't want to go down. AP last night ran into his own blocker where a hole should have been, instead of run right into the line and go down, which is very Grant-esque, he looked to his left and bounced it out to gain 5 yards. Grant just doesn't seem like a guy that's going to make plays when he gets the ball in his hands, which I know isn't a fair knock because players that do that are very special. Grant's a good runner but I still don't think he's our answer at running back.

Bad offensive line or not, Grant goes down way to easy. He never fights for extra yards either. Driver fights, scratches, and claws for extra yards, Grant goes down when someone breaths on him.

I am going to disagree with this. Grant goes down way too quickly on the tackle. Sometimes it seems he is falling before he even gets to the Line of Scrimmage. I saw one play last night where someone got a hand on him while he was running downhill and I was amazed at how much he was slowed by the disruption. I want to see his legs moving more when tackled rather than falling over to get an extra yard.

I do admit that he had some good runs in the 4th quarter though.

Yea he never fights, never tries an extra move, doesn't stretch the ball out for extra yardage and he falls way too easily. I just can't believe that we only have him and Wynn at RB right now too, it's a disaster.

Grant looks to be athletic but he really is not. He does not have the body or strength to run over people. If you compare him Westbrook or even Ahman green who ran over people often were the real RB's. He does not have enough power throw of tackles or take hits.

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)
