This the kind of back we need, positive yards per carry and no tap dancing at the L.O.S. Would like to see what he brings in the passing game as well. If he pans out, it will be kind of interesting to see what we do next season with Grant and BJackson.

Grant could be the odd man out. He can't even catch as well as Bjack, and isn't the 3rd down pass pro guy.
The best thing about this is that I don't have to hear people say, "He hasn't taken a hit in two years," anymore. Excruciating.

I was very impressed. He has more of a Ryan Grant style of running--hits the hole hard and runs high--which seems like the perfect fit for this offense. He looks smaller than Grant but he may have more breakaway potential. He came very close to breaking a long one today. He was hitting himself on the head after the play. He knew he almost had it.

Our RB rotation for the rest of the season should now be set: Starks as the main ball carrier, Jackson on third downs, and Kuhn when we only need a yard. The rotation was very effective today against a pretty good run defense.

Runs a little too high.

It's not fundamentally sound, but it works for Adrian Peterson.

I actually compared him to AP when we drafted Starks.

Not a runner to the outside at all, but solid runner up the middle.

Well we didn't run him to the outside much i only seen us hand him off outside like once or twice but he defiantly runs well in between the tackles.

Dude runs a 4.5 40. He can get to the outside.

"Finley88Beast" wrote:

Ya ik he can the packers don't seem to run to the outside much anyways so in the future he could be a threat to the outside.

They haven't had a guy who could get to the corner. They do now.

Very interesting. Didn't he look smaller than Grant? I'm not complaining. When a guy looks smaller than he really is, that often means that he is a very good athlete. That's my own theory, so take it for what it's worth.

They haven't had a guy who could get to the corner. They do now.

"nerdmann" wrote:

Well, I hope so, By my count, he ran wide only once today and was stopped for no gain. I was just happy that he ran well between the tackles. The Packers have been mostly a straight ahead running team for a lot of years now anyway, with Ryan Grant and Ahman Green.

Green had speed before age caught up with him. He could get outside. Rare combo of speed and power.
Starks might be similar in size to Grant, but that's where the comparisons end. He's way quicker, way shiftier and can catch the ball.

buckeyepackfan (15h) : 1 NFC South @ NFC West @ AFC West other 3 games,

buckeyepackfan (15h) : Packers play NFC East and AFC North in 2025, plus 2 other games

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Geeze Zero get it right!😋

Zero2Cool (18h) : I guess 3 games. Whatever

Zero2Cool (18h) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.

Zero2Cool (18h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (21h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (21h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (22h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (22h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (22h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (22h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (22h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (23h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (23h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (27-Dec) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (27-Dec) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (27-Dec) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
