Danny Woodhead was not an option though. I understand your frustration, but there's only so much that can be done and often times, things take two to work.

People complaining about the 3rd string running back signing is about as awesome to me as the people who complained that the Packers released Jamarko Simmons before pre-season.

Its not just about making any old move Zero...its about making a LEGIT move. Its about making a move that will have a major impact on the team, not a minor impact or no impact at all.

How is this not a legit move? You act like teams were just dying to get rid of playmakers and mind you, the 2010 draft is being considered one of the best one's in recent years so teams don't want to dole out picks either. And you know how Ted is with picks.

What move was made that was a major impact for any team after the season started? I can't think of one. Braylon Edwards maybe?

We're not ONE stud away from being a contender. If we were, I think maybe we'd have done something drastic, but we're not.

I like it. Saying that Ahman was "kicked off" the Texans is a bit harsh. Yes, they cut him, but they were expecting great things from Slaton and couldn't rationalize the luxury of having Green strictly as a backup.

He knows many of the players, is well liked and respected, already knows much of the playbook. He's a very good receiver, still runs a screen better than Grant and he knows how to pick up the blitz.

And he's got something to prove. Age-related motivation can be a powerful thing (right Brett?).

He needs 46 yards to become the Packers' all-time leading rusher. He'll do it next Sunday against the Vikings. On 3rd down. Draw play...

Exactly! That's what I'm saying, it's not as if Green is going to start this Sunday. This is the early 2000's where we rode Green to victory. We ride Aaron Rodgers to victory now. Green is, I think, more of a safe pickup who provides what we lack at RB. RELIABILITY out of the back field. He's a part time player now and I think he'll be 'ok'.

Yes, a young Slaton or a overpaid Ahman Green who's on a decline? Tough call there.

Hmm, Bears signed Gaines Adams. He could be an impact for their aging defense.

I would have to go ahead and say Braylon Edwards is a major impact as well.

I know we are not one stud away from being a contender. I just thought if we were going to sign any free agents we would be addressing what needs to be addressed (offensive line). To each their own I guess.

Glad to see people are happy for Green, I am as well. Doesn't mean I have to like the move as much as the next person.

* On Ahman Green: "We really felt Ahman would upgrade our running back (group)." DeShawn Wynn had knee surgery. Would like to see in pads. Everyone who saw workout was pleased, but football shape is different.

* On how Green looks: Need to see more of him. Excellent in-line quickness. Showed some burst today.

* Something to be said for adding veterans: Starting point of bringing Green and Tauscher back is, they're good football players. Need to get them healthy and into football shape.

* On Green: Didn't go off of what happened in Houston. Personnel department stay in tune with all players. Have a grade and opinion on where each player is. Workout was to see where he was health-wise. Felt he would be a good fit, has history here, knows offense, minimal learning curve. Health was the big question answered.



Brandon Jackson will be used on KR, not Green. I was wrong there.

I loved Green when he was with the Pack before. And if you're not going to improve the run game/help take pressure off the QB by adding on the OL, you might as well try to improve your RB corps. With ole Softy Wynn down yet again and Jackson's iffy health, we needed another back.

Welcome home, Ahman.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.
