I think less Jordy will mean more running the ball.

I hope you're not.

I still can't grasp the concept of staying with a constantly struggling running game while we have this passing game. It's like the Patriots constantly running Maroney or the Colts constantly giving the ball to Addai, but then on a smaller scale.

WCO --> Short routes substitute for the run to some extent --> Opens up deep routes and stops pass rush.

Just go for the short passing game. It works wonder with our receivers and quarterback.

Of course I don't want us to completely abandon the running game. I'm pretty happy with where we are now. Just running it enough to keep the defense on their heels, stop the all out rush and tire them a little, yet, we're still an obvious passing team. As we should be.

Sucks that Jordy is out, btw. Maybe it's some sort of vicious cycle where our 3rd receivers keep getting injured, giving the 4th more playing time, bumping him up to 3rd...

Jones could be a #1 reciever on alot of teams. He's that good. It's just that he's stuck behind Jennings and Driver. We've got 4 guys who could be #1 WRs in the NFL. Plus Finley.

I was wondering if you could be nice and share whatever you are smoking and drinking because with a statement like that you have to be doing both things lol. There is no way in hell Jordy or Jones is a #1 wr.

Finley and Lee are capable receivers, so Jordy's loss hurts more on special teams than it does as a receiver.

Yeah, i was really looking forward to see Nelson take over KR duties, i think he will do really well there when he's back and healthy.

"nerdmann" wrote:




People can bitch about Ted Thompson all they want, and there are legitimate issues, such as the T position. But this team has alot of depth at quite a few positions. WR and KR are two of them.
Blackmon, Nelson, Tramone, Swain, Woody. Those are just the top 5. I remember when Sherman couldn't buy a returner. Remember Allen Rossum? LOL.

Probably should check your facts, Rossum was a pretty damn good returner.
I rememeber right, he left via Fa to Atlanta and continued on a pretty good career. Hell after checking , he is still playing.

Rossum is average. He was also a smurf. Whenever he had to play, balls would go over his head routinely. Not to mention that when we lost him, we had nothing.

Rossum was given crazy money, that's why he left. Packers didn't think a returner was worth a lot of money.

"Zero2Cool" wrote:




He wasn't. Thing is, they didn't have anyone else to stick back there. The Packers struggled for years trying to find a good return man.
We have tons of depth there now. Our top two guys are injured and we still have three guys who can take it to the house.
Say what you want about TT, but we're in a good position in that regard.

That is correct, shame how the facts really screw up someones attempt to slam Sherman and talk up Ted Thompson.

I just wish people would quit trying to make Ted Thompson look good comparing him to MS.

Hell that's a can of worms that doesn't need to be opened again.

Sherman couldn't hold TT's jock. He was too busy creating a country club for his buddies to be unjustly employed in the league and letting Favre call the shots.

Jones is definitely no slouch. He beat champ baily for a TD in 07 and ever since I saw that I knew he was good. He doesn't get thrown too all that often, but when he is thrown to he makes BIG plays. IMO hes better then Jordy, but I don't think it matters. The WR position on this team is very solid, so if one goes down we have people to come and step in. Our OL is a different story though.

He had a solid rookie seasons and then last year he had a bad knee. Dude's got skills. And yeah, he's also 3rd, 4th or possibly later in the progressions if a TE is involved.

My bad, I just went to nfl.com to check his past numbers, they show him playing for 49r's, still 11 years in the league, the guy had to have some talent.

Agreed. People here seem to forget how he did against Champ Bailey in '07. If Jones stays healthy, he's better than a lot of #2 WRs. And yes, I'll take Jones over Jordy, but that's irrelevant because I want both to succeed. If Jordy turns out better in the future, that's fine with me (as long as he's a Packer).
