MM talked today about Nance being about ready to take offensive snaps.. so in a little more than a couple weeks he is versed enough to play ball.. has practiced with the team over the past couple weeks, something Starks hasn't been able to do on the PUP.. Starks hasn't taken a hit in two years... yet we expect him to provide a huge boost out of the box?

I like to be optimistic as the next.. but that in my book is really optimistic.. if he gives us anything this season.. I will be happy.. if he gives us a huge boost I will tell Ted I am sorry for even questioning his Lynch non close.

I read somewhere that the PUP players and some IR players who recovered early hit the practice field behind closed doors. I wonder how true that is.

If true.. which very well could be.. would open the Packers up to draft pick forfeitures I believe.. I think we all know about Ted and picks.. lol.

So if we are doing it.. it is on the ultra down low... think Mission Impossible type security.. lol.

I would bet one of my testicles that its not happening on the Packers. We seem too much of a high class organization to do that. Risk vs Reward, just not worth it in my view.

However, I don't know of anyone who is more tight lipped than tt.

Starks should be ready to practice the first day after week 6. They will get some idea if he has the system down enough to takes a few snaps.

I wouldn't expect him to jump in as a starter unless he starts ripping off giant runs. Very doubtful. I see him more as depth. Hopefully solid and working his way up.

I am under no illusions of his potential contributions and am hoping he, Nance, Jackson and Kuhn along with the O-line starting to play better, will provide us with a passable run game. I don't expect a lot, just consistent positive yards and moving the chains when we need it, like the end of the Detroit game. The problem with the run game may just be lack of downs where we run. In Detroit, it was just a lack of Offensive downs period.

I actually like Kuhn. He usually doesn't get more than 15 yards on a carry yet he averages almost 5. If he could do that for 20+ carries a game, the D would get mashed into a pulp.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

I think Starks plays returner before running back for us.

Just having Nance and Starks at some point will be very nice. You really know what youre getting with Jackson and Kuhn and it's depressing. Jackson loves to just dance around at the LOS and Kuhn has no lateral movement, at least the other two are of running back form so it certainly won't hurt

Starks hasn't been hit since like 2008, but remember, Grant missed a season too, iirc. He cut his arm real bad, and they didn't know if the nerve damage would be permanent. He was out for awhile, although iirc, he did have a training camp before he came here.
Thing about Starks is he was running high in OTAs. He's gotta get his shoulders down. I could see him running screens, though. He'd be AWESOME on screens.
Remember, I think they can resign Quinn Porter after week 10. They released him with an injury settlement, so he is able to come back and play again this year. Another guy who can catch the ball, make someone miss and get upfield.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.
beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal
