I know we played the browns this week. And I know he got a lot of garbage time carries. But i saw some glimmers of hope this week. Not only did I see him actually follow quinn through holes but i saw him hit the cutback lane a few times. The thing I was most impressed with was the way he was attacking defenders. I haven't seen grant run a guy over in a long time, and this week he just looked...hungry. Obviously facing the queen's d-line is a whole different story. The things I saw this week just gave me some hope for the rest of the season. What did you guys see?

I hope Grant can keep punishing people like today on all of his carries. Stuff like that will really make him + Ahman Green a dangerous combo.

I saw what you did. He still seems to lack the elusiveness that would extend some of those longer runs into TD's, but other than that he looked very good. Really, though, I think it was all about the blocking. He hasn't had a lot of room to run up till now.

This should be a good confidence-builder for Grant and the O-line before next week's game against the Vikings.

I'm liking the openings that Barbre and Lang are opening on the outsides. Didn't see much of that with Tausch and Clifton.

I stated on more than one occasion that I thought Grant's ability to break tackles was second to only a hand few in the NFL; I was oh so wrong.

The Packers, IMO, need a new more explosive RB. Grant is above average, at times good, but no where near a game changer. Would be nice to have one. Go get one Ted.

I saw two things, both positive:
1) Grant was actually fighting for yards,
2) holes. This OL isn't completely dead. Hope to see it continue to emerge.

The fact that his name was never mentioned once indicates that Barbre played excellently today. I think we're starting to see why the staff expressed so much confidence in him despite his poor outings. I wonder how many of his problems were due to inexperience and how many were at least partially attributable to his overcompensating for Clifton's poor performance. I suppose we'll never know for sure.

Today you saw the potential Grant has when he actually has somewhere to run.

wpr (8h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (10h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
