What is all this hoopla over getting a RB about?
1. The Packers need a half decent offensive line for any premiere RB to run through.
2. I like Steven Jackson a lot...but age and injury become a factor.
3. Where is all the love for McFadden coming from? He would fail HIGHLY with the ZBS....dude gets touched and falls down. People complain when Ryan Grant does it so why bring in a different name to do the same thing.
If any of these trades go through I would like to see it happen in the defensive backfield or on the offensive line. I think every member here gets a wet dream thinking about Joe Thomas as our left tackle....not going to happen, but damn if it did.
Kampman for Peppers would be a horrible trade in that I think that have the same ability. Difference between the two, Kampman has heart and works through the impossible. Peppers gives up.
Merriman trade. Ehhh, as of right now I would call this dude another Nick Barnett on defense. Minor production, major celebrations. I was certainly hoping to see Nick Barnetts name on that rumor list though.
How well would Chris Long work out in our 3-4 scheme? Okay, he played OLB at University of Virginia but can he bring that experience to the NFL after not playing there for 2 whole years? I mean its the same question people raise at Aaron Kampman...can he play OLB?
Again, the only trades I would be extremely interested in is on the offensive line. I don't see any trades happening. Isn't the exact deadline at 3pm or something?
