I don't think the Packers brought Ahman back for the running game but for his blocking abilities. He was a good blocker in the good days when he was with the packers. But, I don't like this move at all, I'd rather have Dominic Rhodes on our team than Green. Let's see if he can teach Ryan Grant how to run the football and not just fall down when some lays a pinkie on him.

This was clearly a move based on blocking and receiving skills. If the Packers were looking for a player to run in between the tackles, Kregg Lumpkin would've been promoted from the practice squad.
Grant isn't much of a third down back nor much of a receiver and Jackson has always been a work in progress with his blocking. Like it or not, that was a weakness. I personally like the move. Nobody out there is going to solve the Packers' running game problems, but blocking is a whole different story. The Packers looked at a key area which is 3rd down, receiving, and blocking and they upgraded. Nothing wrong with that.
